Description
Salsa Cassidy Carbon Enduro Bike – Conquer Extreme Terrain
Engineered for adrenaline-seeking enduro riders, the Cassidy Carbon V1 dominates gnarly descents while delivering surprising uphill efficiency. Its Split Pivot suspension system (165mm rear/180mm fork travel) maintains 95% rear shock activity under braking – critical for maintaining control on loose rock gardens or root-laced switchbacks.
Key Performance Enhancements
– Adjustable Geometry: Flip chip modifies head angle (63.8° to 63°) and bottom bracket height (432mm to 439mm) for optimal climbing/descending balance
– Super Boost 157 Rear Hub: Enables 431mm chainstay length (vs standard 148mm spacing) for nimble handling and massive 2.6″ tire clearance
– Shimano Enduro Package: M7130 crankset paired with M6100 Deore drivetrain delivers precise shifting through steep climbs or high-speed descents
Trail-Ready Build Kit
🔧 Suspension: RockShox ZEB Select+ (180mm front) + Super Deluxe Select+ (165mm rear)
🚀 Braking: Four-piston M6120 Deore brakes with Center Lock 203mm rotors
🛠️ Components: Race Face Aeffect R handlebar (35mm rise), WTB Volt steel saddle, TranzX YSI05 seatpost (30mm dropper adjustment)
Tire Versatility
– Standard: Maxxis Assegai Front (2.5″) + Dissector Rear (2.4″) tubeless ready setup
– Optional: Fit 27.5×3.0″ tires without fork modifications – ideal for muddy singletrack or loamy descents
