Salsa Horsethief Frame

The Horsethief is a versatile trail bike frame designed for all-day riding. Its 120mm of travel and balanced geometry make it equally capable on technical backcountry climbs and flowy, fast descents.

Yes, the frame is compatible with both wheel sizes. You can use the integrated flip-chip to adjust the geometry to maintain optimal handling characteristics regardless of which wheel size you choose.

The Split Pivot design effectively separates pedaling forces from braking forces. This means the suspension stays active and supple even when you are hard on the brakes, providing better traction and control on technical terrain.

You can fit tires up to 29 x 2.6 inches or 27.5 x 3.0 inches. This clearance gives you plenty of options to run wider, high-volume tires for extra grip or narrower, faster-rolling setups.

Yes, the frame includes a Fox Float DPS Performance Elite rear shock, which is tuned specifically to complement the bike's suspension kinematics.

The frame features internal sleeved cable routing, which simplifies the build process by guiding your housing through the frame. This keeps your cables protected from the elements and provides a clean, clutter-free look.
