Cassidy Enduro 29er Mountain Bike

Engineered for riders who thrive on steep descents and technical trail challenges, the Salsa Cassidy Enduro 29er is your ultimate ally for conquering rugged terrain with precision and power. This bike isn’t just built for speed—it’s crafted to dominate enduro stages and all-mountain adventures where confidence meets control. Whether you’re charging through jagged rock gardens or carving high-speed switchbacks, Cassidy delivers unmatched stability and agility thanks to its advanced design and component selection.

Frame & Suspension

The heart of this machine lies in its Split Pivot suspension, which balances aggressive trail performance with efficient pedaling energy transfer. With 165mm of rear travel paired to a 180mm Fox Float 38 fork, Cassidy tackles big hits while maintaining traction on climbs. Its Super Boost 157x12mm hub spacing allows shorter chainstays (431–432mm) for snappier handling and accommodates up to 29×2.6″ tires, giving you room to run wide rubber or upgrade to tubeless setups effortlessly. An integrated strap mount keeps essentials secure without cluttering your setup.

Geometry & Performance

Optimized for technical trail mastery, Cassidy’s 63.8° head tube angle combined with a 44mm offset fork ensures precise steering in chaotic conditions while keeping climbs smooth and efficient. The rear flip chip lets you fine-tune geometry: lower the BB for added stability on descents or raise it for playful climbs depending on trail demands or personal preference. A 75.7° seat tube angle prioritizes rider comfort over long miles, with frame lengths tailored for long dropper posts, making it ideal for riders navigating steep descents with confidence.

Build Kit Highlights

Equipped with premium components like Fox Float X2 Performance rear shock and Shimano XT M8100 drivetrain, this build kit strikes a balance between performance and value. The WTB Volt saddle and Race Face Turbine R handlebar provide ergonomic comfort during grueling rides, while Shimano SLX brakes deliver reliable stopping power on demanding descents. The wheels—featuring WTB KOM Tough rims—are paired with grippy Maxxis Assegai/Dissector tires, perfect for loose surfaces and technical singletrack.

Sizing & Fit

Salsa’s thoughtful sizing ensures every rider finds their sweet spot:
SM (5’5”–5’8”): Compact geometry for smaller riders tackling tight trails
MD (5’8”–5’11”): Balanced fit for versatile riding conditions
LG (5’11”–6’2”): Optimized reach for mid-sized riders seeking precision
XL (6’2”+): Aggressive stance for taller riders conquering big-mountain lines
