Horsethief SLX

Mountain Bike

The Salsa Horsethief SLX is a 29″ full suspension trail bike with the versatility for epic days out or squeezing some singletrack into a busy day. Horsethief’s frame fits two full-size bottles in the triangle and features top-tube mounts for more cargo capacity and comfort, especially on long rides. The aluminum frame is designed around our trail geometry and efficient Split Pivot suspension design.

With 120 mm rear suspension travel complemented by a 140 mm fork, it has the chops to take on your favorite flow or techy trails. The shallow attack angle of 29″ wheels means they roll well over logs, roots, and rocks in the trail. Shimano’s SLX 1 x 12 drivetrain delivers light shifting action, large gear range, and reliability you can trust on big backcountry adventures.
