Salsa Notch High-Torque eMTB: Mastering Every Trail Challenge

Designed for riders who crave power and adaptability on rugged terrain, the Salsa Notch is an eMTB engineered to conquer technical trails while offering unmatched versatility. Whether you’re tackling enduro races or exploring remote mountain routes all day long, this bike delivers responsive performance with its 160mm of Split Pivot suspension—optimized for efficiency over rowdy descents and steep climbs alike.

Performance & Design
The Notch’s 6061-T6 aluminum frame integrates a high-modulus carbon fiber control link for lightweight stiffness and precise handling at speed. Its Split Pivot+ design lets riders switch between travel configurations (upgradable via Salsa’s Travel Kit), making it equally at home on aggressive enduro stages as it is on multi-day backcountry adventures. A Bosch Performance Line CX motor (85Nm torque) drives up to 600 watts of assist power through its mid-drive system, paired with a 500Wh PowerTube battery hidden within the downtube for sleek aesthetics and protection—a setup that delivers up to 60 miles of range on demanding trails.

Build Highlights
Equipped with Shimano’s U6000 Shadow+ drivetrain and LinkGlide cassette for smooth shifting across varied terrain, the Notch balances precision with durability. RockShox Deluxe Select rear damping complements its plush suspension while WTB ST i30 rims and Teravail tires ensure grip on loose surfaces. Enduro-ready braking comes from Shimano MT420 calipers paired with 220mm rotors front and rear—perfect for controlling speed on steep descents.

Versatility & Customization
Programmable via Bosch’s intuitive app, four assist modes (Eco/Tour/eMTB/Turbo) let riders tailor power output to their pace or trail conditions—ideal for everything from leisurely forest loops to competitive laps at an enduro event. Its adjustable geometry suits riders from 5’5” to over 6’2”, with sizes tailored to fit body proportions precisely (see sizing chart below).

Why Choose Notch?
Competitors may offer similar specs but lack this bike’s adaptability—few eMTBs allow seamless travel mode swaps without full component overhauls. Combined with its long-range battery and app-driven customization, the Notch stands out as a do-it-all machine for serious trail enthusiasts seeking both power and practicality without compromise.
