Salsa Spearfish Complete 29"
wheel full suspension mtb.
Spearfish
is our endurance-racing, long XC riding, full-suspension 29er mountain
bike. Designed for 24-hour and other ultra-endurance XXC efforts, Spearfish
targets efficiency. The frame offers 80mm of rear wheel travel, paired
with 100mm of front suspension. The EV6 aluminum frame is low weight and
uses a pivot-minimizing suspension design. Removing the rear pivot helps
keep chassis weight down, while also reducing complexity and maintenance.
The rear suspension is designed for efficient pedaling. As a result, Spearfish
climbs extremely well and exhibits very little suspension bob. The tapered
headtube provides a stiffer front end and more precise steering. Likewise,
the press-fit BB30 bottom bracket also transmits pedaling power more efficiently
than other designs. The Spearfish frame geometry results in neutral handling
that does not steer overly quickly. The bike is designed to perform well
for someone in his or her 6th or 12th or even 18th hour of racing (or
just riding), and perhaps a tad slower than a bike that aims at winning
2-hour XC races.
Please note that all of our bikes are pre-assembled and tested prior to
shipping. We do not ship or sell any bikes that have not been assembled
first.
We then remove the front wheel and stem for shipping. We
recomend you have a professional bike shop re-assemble the bike.
