On those all-day rides when you need to pack a sandwich, the Salsa Horsethief Carbon NX Eagle 29, descends and tackles technical terrain with confidence, handling whatever the trail throws at you.
Features
  • SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain provides a massive gear range for the ups and downs of trail life
  • 140mm front and 120mm rear suspension match up well with the spec'd 29er wheel setup&8212;though you could always choose to run 27.5 wheels instead (27.5 in. wheels not included)
  • Progressive trail geometry gives you more room to move front to back, and it puts you in a better position to tackle technical terrain
  • Modern trail bike fit uses a short stem, wide bar and longer effective top tube to get you into the same familiar position as on your older trail bike
  • RockShox® Revelation RC 140mm fork boasts excellent small-bump compliance and a supportive midstroke; 35mm uppers provide stiffness for on-trail stability
  • 120mm-travel Split Pivot® rear suspension is managed by the proven RockShox Deluxe RT3 shock, with Solo Air™ and Sag Gradients™ for easy setup
  • Split Pivot& features a pivot in line with the rear axle that isolates pedaling and braking forces for more traction and control when climbing, descending or cornering
  • Metric shock standard requires lower air pressure, resulting in increased stiffness in rear triangle/rear suspension frame members and the ability to fine-tune ride quality
  • Flip Chip technology integrated into the shock link mount allows quick adjustments to bottom bracket height and head tube angle with just a hex key or multi-tool
  • In high mode, Flip Chip sets head angle 0.5% steeper and bottom bracket 4mm higher for quicker turns and more pedal clearance, ideal for technical terrain and 27.5 wheels
  • In low mode, Flip Chip sets head angle 0.5% slacker and bottom bracket 4mm lower for stability at speed and lower center of gravity, ideal for flow trails and 29er wheels
  • Super Boost-157 standard 157 x 12mm rear spacing paired with a standard-width bottom bracket results in 432mm chainstays and max tire width of 29 x 2.6 in. or 27.5 x 3. in.
  • Down tube its 2 full-size water bottles
  • Top tube accessory mounts; internal sleeved cable routing; stealth dropper post routing; molded frame protection
  • Pedals not included; specs and images are subject to change
