Salsa Rangefinder Deore 12-Speed 29er Hardtail MTB – Tan

The Salsa Rangefinder is your gateway to conquering trails with ease and expanding your off-road horizons. Designed for riders stepping into mountain biking, this hardtail combines intuitive handling with practical features to make every ride feel like an adventure. Whether you’re navigating narrow singletrack or cruising wider fire roads, its versatile build ensures stability on technical terrain while keeping confidence high for those just starting out.

Crafted from durable 6061-T6 aluminum, the Rangefinder’s frame is engineered for both performance and adaptability. Internal routing keeps cables protected and lines clean, while provisions like top tube bag mounts and multiple bottle cage options (on M/XL sizes) make it ideal for bikepacking trips or all-day excursions. A 120mm suspension fork absorbs bumps effortlessly, paired with a dropper post that lets you adjust reach on-the-fly—perfect for tackling descents with control. The straightforward 1x drivetrain simplifies shifting without sacrificing climbing gears, and hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful stopping power in any conditions.

Choose between 29-inch wheels for smooth efficiency or 27.5+ tires for added traction on loose surfaces—making it equally at home on packed dirt or rugged paths. With rack mounts and accessory points integrated into its design, this bike grows with you as your riding ambitions expand from weekend loops to multi-day explorations.
