Salsa Spearfish C SLX Carbon 29er XC Mountain Bike in Green

The Spearfish Mountain Bike is engineered to conquer grueling endurance trails while excelling on steep climbs and technical descents. Designed for XC racers and adventure seekers alike, this bike blends cutting-edge geometry with a versatile suspension system to keep you ahead of the pack on demanding terrain. Whether tackling all-day epics or chasing speed on rugged singletrack, the Spearfish delivers responsive handling and unwavering traction.

Core Innovations:
– Carbon Frame & Aluminum Chainstays: A lightweight carbon frame paired with heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum chainstays ensures durability without sacrificing agility.
– Active Split Pivot Suspension: This fully engaged system maintains pedaling efficiency while providing smooth braking performance and grip on uneven surfaces.
– Agile Geometry: A short stem combined with a long top tube and 67.8° head tube angle creates confidence-inspiring stability at high speeds without compromising maneuverability on tight switchbacks.
– Integrated Storage Solutions: Two full-size bottle mounts within the front triangle plus compatibility with Salsa’s Anything Bracket enable pack-free rides loaded with hydration or gear essentials.
– Terrain-Tuned Adjustments: The rear Flip Chip lets riders tweak head tube angle and BB height to adapt to trail conditions, wheel size preferences, or riding style—ideal for both cross-country marathons and technical downhill sections.

Why It Stands Out:
| Feature | Spearfish Advantage | Competitor Comparison |
|———————–|———————————————-|——————————–|
| Suspension Design | Active under braking (Split Pivot) | Passive systems common |
| Flip Chip Customization | Dual adjustments (angle/BB height) | Limited/no adjustability |
| Hub Spacing | Super Boost 157mm (enhanced stiffness) | Standard 142mm spacing |
| Chainstay Length | 432mm (shorter for snappier handling) | Longer chainstays typical |

Perfectly Sized for Your Ride:
Salsa’s size chart ensures optimal fit:
– SM: 5’3”–5’8” (ideal for compact trails)
– MD: 5’8”–5’11” (versatile for mixed terrain)
– LG: 5’11”–6’2” (balanced power delivery)
– XL: 6’2”+ (aggressive all-mountain riding)

Whether you’re chasing podium finishes in XC events or exploring remote backcountry loops, the Spearfish merges precision engineering with rider-centric design—making it your ultimate ally for relentless adventures.
