SALSA HORSETHIEF DEORE 12 29'' ALUMINUM

Designed for riders who want one bike to handle a variety of trails, the Salsa Horsethief Alloy delivers confident control, adjustable geometry, and all-day trail versatility. Whether you're cruising your favorite local loops or tackling unfamiliar singletrack, this full-suspension bike is ready to go the distance.

The aluminum frame is built around the Split Pivot suspension platform, offering 120 mm of efficient rear travel that stays fully active under braking and supportive across the stroke. Paired with a 140 mm fork, it balances trail comfort with technical capability.

Its geometry features a short stem and long top tube with a 67-degree head tube angle, giving it confident descending characteristics while keeping low-speed handling precise. The rear flip chip allows you to adjust the head angle and bottom bracket height to suit your terrain, wheel setup, or personal preference.

Every frame size fits two full-size water bottles within the main triangle, and additional mounts on the top tube and down tube offer gear-carrying flexibility for pack-free adventures.

Outfitted with 29" x 2.5" front and 2.4" rear tires, the frame is also compatible with a wide range of sizes: 27.5" x 2.8–3.0" and 29" x 2.2–2.6", making it adaptable to your riding style.

With a shortened 432 mm chainstay, made possible by a Super Boost 157 x 12 mm rear hub and a standard-width bottom bracket, the Horsethief feels agile without compromising drivetrain durability or wheel stiffness.
