At a glance

The 2020 Salsa Horsethief SLX is an Trail Aluminium / Alloy mountain bike. It sports 29" wheels, comes in a range of sizes, including SM, MD, LG, XL, has RockShox suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The bike is part of Salsa's Horsethief range of mountain bikes.

You’re not committed to one style of riding—you’re just as likely to hit flow trails after work as you are to bikepack gnarly singletrack on the weekends. You like to keep your options open, and Horsethief SLX shares that philosophy. The Split Pivot® rear suspension system increases pedaling and braking efficiency, while the 120 mm-travel rear suspension and 140 mm fork provide plenty of insurance for bold lines. Horsethief accommodates 29” or 27.5 plus wheels and a flip chip so you can fine-tune it to suit your riding style and favorite trails. To top it all off, the smooth-shifting Shimano SLX group and powerful four-piston braking leave you with two fewer things to worry about in the world.

Horsethief is a trail bike that keeps the good times rolling.
