Salsa Blackthorn SLX Aluminum Mountain Bike 29 - Mustard

Season:2021

Brand:Salsa

Code:C0918Mustard

Blackthorn is Salsa's 140 mm all-mountain 29er, built for riding any trail anywhere with confidence. It is a well-balanced bike that takes on serious topography with gusto.

Blackthorn is stable and confident on rugged descents and is a stunningly capable climber. With Split Pivot suspension dialed for maximum traction and pedaling efficiency, Blackthorn has the chops to ride all-mountain, all-out, all day. The stiff and durable aluminum frame uses progressive trail geometry for a ride feel that is equal parts downhill ripper and stable climber. The Split Pivot suspension design builds on those qualities with supple-to-supportive travel linked to a 140 mm RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ shock. Paired with a 160 mm RockShox Yari RC fork, Blackthorn has the chops for rugged lines. Shimano’s SLX componentry provides a smooth-shifting 1 x 12 wide-range drivetrain, while the four-piston brakes offer stopping power.

Features:

  • 6061-T6 aluminum frame with Split Pivot suspension design featuring 140 mm of travel
  • Flip Chip 2.0 adjusts head tube angle and bottom bracket height to accommodate varying terrain, wheel sizes, and personal preference
  • Integrated strap location on frame for tube or tool kit
  • 64.6-degree head tube angle and short-offset fork for descending confidence
  • 76.5-degree seat tube angle with seat tube lengths optimized for longer dropper posts
  • Super Boost 157 x 12mm rear hub spacing for shorter chainstays (431–432 mm), more tire clearance, and stiffer wheels

  • On-bike cargo features including integrated down tube strap, top tube mounts, and bottle mount
  • Internal sleeved cable routing for simplified maintenance
