SALSA 2023 Horsethief 3.4 – Deore Kit – 29″

Looking for the best full-suspension trail bike for those long days on bucket-list trails? How about fast and fun weekend rides on your local trail network? Horsethief Deore can do both. The frame fits two full-size water bottles in the triangle and features top tube mounts for ride essentials — enjoy riding fully equipped without the weight and bulk of a backpack. Horsethief’s aluminum frame uses a Split Pivot suspension design and trail geometry for solid uphill performance and a reassuring feel on daunting descents. 120 mm rear and 140 mm front suspension travel keep you in control over trail obstacles, and the 29″ wheels hold their momentum to keep you rolling. Shimano’s Deore 1 x 12 drivetrain is built on decades of refinement in a reliable package that you can trust to take you anywhere.
