Salsa Rustler Alloy V1 Trail Bike

The Salsa Rustler is built for trail enthusiasts who demand precision and playfulness on rugged terrain—whether popping roots mid-descent or rail-switchbacking through tight singletrack. This aluminum-framed machine combines 130mm of Split Pivot rear travel with a 150mm RockShox fork to deliver responsive handling that stays lively under braking while maintaining support across varied trails.

Engineered for Adventure:
– Adjustable Geometry: The Flip Chip system lets riders fine-tune head tube angle (+/- 0.5°) and BB height (+/- 6mm), adapting to aggressive downhill runs or punchy climbs—perfect for mixed-terrain trails or all-day epics.
– Agile Stance: A 425mm chainstay paired with 27.5″ wheels ensures snappy cornering, while a low top tube offers unrestricted body movement during jumps or manuals—ideal for riders prioritizing technical flow over casual cruising.
– Versatile Build: Shimano Deore M6100 drivetrain (12-speed cassette spanning 10–51t) pairs with RockShox suspension components for reliable performance on loose rock gardens or loose forest paths.

Designed for Every Rider:
Available in five sizes tailored by rider height (XS-XL), each frame includes integrated bottle mounts and clearance for tires up to 27.5×2.8″—making it adaptable whether you’re tackling slickrock or mud-splattered trails. The compact geometry balances stability at speed with nimble maneuverability at low speeds, excelling on both steep descents and technical climbs common in mountain biking hotspots like Moab or Whistler’s trails.

Demo Unit Highlights:
This Grade B demo bike retains its full capabilities despite minor cosmetic wear (scratches/blemishes), offering budget-conscious riders access to Salsa’s premium trail engineering without new-bike pricing—perfect for weekend warriors seeking reliable performance without premium price tags.

Outperforms competitors through its blend of adjustable geometry (vs fixed-frame rivals) and tire compatibility (vs narrow-tire setups), making it a standout choice for aggressive trail riding where adaptability meets precision.*
