Salsa Range Finder Carbon Deore XTR Full Suspension Mountain Bike

Product Description:

The Salsa Rangefinder is your gateway to endless trail exploration and off-road freedom—crafted specifically for riders eager to venture beyond paved paths without compromising performance or practicality. This trail hardtail combines rugged durability with intuitive design, making it ideal whether you’re conquering rocky singletrack or cruising fire roads on weekend adventures. Designed with accessibility in mind, it’s built to empower new mountain bikers with confidence-inspiring geometry while offering advanced features that cater to seasoned riders seeking simplicity and versatility.

At its core lies a lightweight yet robust 6061-T6 aluminum frame engineered to handle demanding terrain while keeping your ride smooth and efficient. Internal cable routing keeps shifts and dropper post adjustments seamless while maintaining a clean aesthetic that’s perfect for all-day rides or bikepacking trips. With a plush 120mm suspension fork absorbing bumps effortlessly, you’ll tackle roots and rocks with ease—without sacrificing pedal responsiveness on climbs or flats.

Salsa’s thoughtful design shines through its user-friendly 1x drivetrain setup, which simplifies shifting so you can focus on the trail ahead while still providing enough gears to conquer varied terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power in any weather condition, giving you peace of mind on steep descents or technical sections. Whether you prefer narrow 29-inch wheels for speed or wider 27.5+ tires for added traction on loose surfaces, the Rangefinder adapts seamlessly to your riding style and terrain preferences.

For those planning extended excursions, integrated frame mounts provide endless carrying potential: stash essentials in the top tube bag mount or add hydration with two bottle cage options (on M/L/XL sizes), plus versatile accessory points under the down tube and rear rack mounts for gear-heavy trips. Its geometry prioritizes stability with slack headtube angles (68°) and balanced standover heights across sizes—ensuring newer riders feel planted on descents while maintaining agility through tight switchbacks.
