At a glance

The 2020 Salsa Rustler SLX is an Trail Aluminium / Alloy mountain bike. It sports 27.5" wheels, comes in a range of sizes, including XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, has RockShox suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The bike is part of Salsa's Rustler range of mountain bikes.

We designed Rustler SLX to make the most of every trail you ride. Playful geometry with 130 mm of rear suspension travel coupled with a 150 mm fork equips Rustler for big terrain, while the 6066-T6 aluminum frame features 425 mm chainstays and 27.5” wheels for a quick-handling machine. The Split Pivot® suspension system’s excellent pedaling efficiency and a flip chip for running tires from 2.3” to 2.8” wide make this more than a one-trick pony. Add Shimano’s perennial-favorite SLX drivetrain to the mix, and you’ve got a full-suspension trail bike that magically makes trails more fun.
