Description
Salsa Cassidy Enduro Bike
Engineered for riders who thrive on steep chutes and technical singletrack, Salsa’s Cassidy Enduro Bike is your ultimate ally for conquering aggressive downhill terrain while maintaining surprising climbing agility. This versatile 29er mountain bike blends precision engineering with rider-focused design to excel in every condition mountain trails throw your way.
Frame & Durability
Crafted from lightweight carbon fiber with rugged 6061-T6 aluminum chainstays, the Cassidy balances strength and responsiveness—ideal for serious enduro racers tackling punishing descents or trail enthusiasts pushing limits on gnarly lines.
Suspension & Performance
The Split Pivot suspension system delivers 165mm of active travel that stays lively under braking and remains supportive through rough impacts, pairing seamlessly with an 180mm fork to tackle jagged rocks and rowdy drops effortlessly. Whether bombing down alpine descents or grinding over root-strewn climbs, every pedal stroke feels efficient while every bump gets absorbed smoothly.
Geometry Flexibility
With a sharp 63.8-degree headtube angle optimized by Salsa’s Flip Chip system—adjustable on-the-fly—you can tailor your ride’s character between steep technical trails and flowy descents by altering headtube lean and bottom bracket height. A forward-leaning 75.7-degree seat tube angle ensures powerful uphill momentum without sacrificing comfort during extended sessions of all-day trail exploration.
Trail Adaptability
Super Boost 157x12mm rear spacing provides unmatched stiffness while enabling shorter chainstays (431–432mm) for agile cornering control paired with roomy tire clearance up to 29×2.6” or 27.5×3”. This lets you choose between grippy plus tires for loose terrain or narrower setups for speed on hardpack—all while maintaining responsive handling at high speeds or low-traction moments alike.
Practical Design
An integrated frame strap mount keeps essentials secure during remote rides where mechanical issues demand quick fixes, while thoughtful details like optimized seatpost compatibility cater to riders favoring long-travel droppers on epic adventures requiring constant adjustments mid-climb or descent.
