Salsa Rangefinder Advent X 29er Hardtail – Aluminum MTB Frame, Large Black

The Salsa Rangefinder is an entry-level trail hardtail engineered to empower riders of all skill levels to conquer their first mountain biking adventures with ease. Whether you’re tackling rugged singletrack or smooth doubletrack trails, this bike combines approachable geometry with practical features to make off-road exploration accessible and fun. Designed as a gateway to biking’s wild side, it’s built for both casual trail riding and extended bikepacking journeys—equipping beginners with confidence while offering seasoned riders a lightweight companion for quick escapes.

Crafted from durable 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the Rangefinder’s frame boasts clean internal routing for shifters, brakes, and dropper posts, ensuring a sleek look and protection against wear. Its 120mm suspension fork smooths out bumps on technical terrain, while a simplified 1x drivetrain keeps shifting straightforward without sacrificing gear range—perfect for navigating varied elevations effortlessly. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power in any conditions, giving you control even on steep descents or loose surfaces.

This versatile hardtail supports both 29-inch wheels for speed on open trails and 27.5+ tires for added traction on rougher paths. Integrated mounts expand its capabilities: a top tube bag holder paired with two bottle cage mounts (on M/L/XL sizes) and a down tube accessory point lets you carry gear for day rides or overnight trips. Rear rack compatibility further elevates its utility as a bikepacking machine.

The Rangefinder’s geometry prioritizes stability over speed—longer wheelbase and slackened head tube angle help newer riders stay composed on descents and cornering without compromising pedaling efficiency. It’s built to grow with you as your skills develop.
