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

Rustler Carbon XTR goes all-in on singletrack stoke. We started with a lightweight carbon frame and playful geometry, plus the climbing prowess and small-bump compliance of Split Pivot®. Next, we added 27.5” carbon wheels to keep it as nimble as possible. The we gave it a Fox Float 36 Performance Elite Grip2 fork with 150 mm of travel and a Fox Float DPS Performance Elite 130 mm shock to soak up trail impacts. The finishing touch is Shimano’s flawless XTR drivetrain.

Put it all together and you have a bike that uses all of the technology at its disposal to maximize trail thrills. Rustler XTR is a carbon 27.5 trail bike that loves to get rowdy.
