Salsa Blackthorn C Deore

This is a versatile trail bike designed for all-day riding. Its 140mm of front travel and efficient suspension make it capable on technical climbs and rough descents, handling everything from flowy singletrack to rockier, more challenging terrain.

The Split Pivot design is engineered to separate pedaling and braking forces from the suspension action. This means the rear wheel stays active and tracks the ground even when you are braking hard or pedaling through rough sections, giving you more consistent traction.

Yes, the frame features a flip chip that allows you to make geometry adjustments. This lets you fine-tune the bike's handling characteristics and accommodate different wheel size setups to better match your local trails or personal preferences.

Absolutely. The frame comes with integrated mounts specifically designed for on-bike storage and repair kits. This allows you to carry essential tools and spares directly on the bike, keeping your pack lighter for longer rides.

The high-modulus carbon fiber frame provides a strong, lightweight foundation that balances stiffness for efficient power transfer with enough compliance to dampen trail chatter. It also includes molded rubber guards to protect the frame from rock strikes and impacts.

The Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain is widely regarded for its reliability and consistent shifting performance. It offers a wide gear range that makes steep climbs manageable without the maintenance complexity of higher-end groupsets.
