At a glance

The 2020 Salsa Horsethief Carbon XTR is an Trail Carbon mountain bike. It comes in a range of sizes, including SM, MD, LG, XL, has Fox suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The bike is part of Salsa's Horsethief range of mountain bikes.

This is it: one of the finest, most versatile trail bikes anyone’s ever thrown a leg over. The 140 mm of front suspension and 120 mm of travel out back mean you can point the Horsethief Carbon XTR down just about any trail and roll with confidence. The Split Pivot® rear suspension system all but eliminates brake chatter and pedal bob. The Shimano XTR group delivers incredibly light and precise shifts and the stopping power of four-piston brakes. The Reynolds C-Series carbon wheelset makes an agile bike even more fun.

The flip chip and compatibility with 29” or 27.5 plus wheels add a layer of versatility to the whole package. Horsethief is the trail bike that prompts you to ride more: more miles, more terrain, more boldly.
