BUCKSAW CARBON

FRAME ONLY RRP £1999.99

100mm travel carbon frame w/ Split Pivot

Bucksaw is our paradigm-shattering full-suspension fatbike, blurring the lines between “fatbike” and “full-suspension mountain bike.” Whether tackling the rocky ledges of the deserts southwest or the bumpy Icelandic tundra, Bucksaw eats it all up in confidence. The “Where can I ride Bucksaw?” question in your mind will quickly change to “Where can’t I ride Bucksaw?”

BUCKSAW CARBON SPLIT PIVOT® REAR SUSPENSION

The concentric rear axle pivot in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in several performance gains: • Exceptional bump compliance

• Maximum traction • Incredible pedaling efficiency

• Predictable braking • Improved frame geometry due to the elimination of unwanted suspension movement during acceleration and braking D

FATBIKE-SPECIFIC SUSPENSION TRAVEL 100mm of Split Pivot® rear wheel travel that is tuned to work in tandem with high volume, low-pressure 26 x 4.0” fatbike tires. The result is ground-clawing traction monster that redefines what line choice is, both up and down the hill. The frame is designed and balanced for a 100mm travel, 50mm offset RockShox Bluto suspension fatbike fork

MULTIPLE WHEEL & TIRE OPTIONS Bucksaw is designed around 26 x 4.0” tires mounted on 65–82mm rims and inflated to 8–12psi depending on rider weight and terrain. Bucksaw is also compatible with other wheel setups that roll out to a 735–740mm overall diameter. This includes 27.5 x 3.0–3.25” (27.5+) and 29 x 2.3–2.5”, as long as the wheels and tires are laced to 177/150mm hubs to match the frame and fork, respectively

BUCKSAW GEOMETRY 4” high-volume tires and full suspension combine to create a bike that wants to climb up lines most other bikes can’t, and when pointed downhill, the gyroscopic stability and traction of all that rubber begs to let off the leash. As a result, the geometry has been tailored to match; slack and low, the Bucksaw is closer in angles and feel to our Horsethief than it is to a Mukluk or Beargrease. The Bucksaw is designed to handle best when you are getting after it, using the advantages of fat tires and suspension to their full monster-truck capacity

HIGH-MODULUS CARBON FIBER FRONT TRIANGLE & SEATSTAYS This material offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent toughness and weight savings compared to other materials. This frame offers 340g weight savings over the aluminum version. 6066-T6 aluminum heat-treated chainstays are paired for durability

Beargrease is our fatbike designed to excel when speed matters—simple as that. Fatbike doesn’t have to mean slow bike. It’s lightweight, agile, and elegant, with all excesses removed. Whether it is a 40-mile weekend race or the 1,000-mile Iditarod Invitational in Alaska, Beargrease is your best bet for getting from point A to point B fast, over whatever terrain stands between.

BEARGREASE CARBON SALSA FATBIKE GEOMETRY

A N

The geometry used across our entire fatbike line has remained basically unchanged since developing the Beargrease Carbon back in 2012. We’ve adapted it to all our fatbike models because it works extremely well in all conditions and use cases, whether it be riding groomed singletrack at your local trail, exploring a deserted beach, or embarking across the wild frozen expanses of Alaska in the ITI race. At its core, we use the shortest chainstay possible in conjunction with a headtube angle and fork offset that place the rider’s center of gravity further over the rear wheel. This location and combination of front and rear center is key to getting a fatbike that is stable, steers well in loose conditions, and still also feels nimble and agile despite the massive wheels and tires. A low bottom bracket height is also key, to keep the rider’s center of gravity low, and to make dabbing and dismounting easier

• Maximum traction • Incredible pedaling efficiency

• Predictable braking • Improved frame geometry due to the elimination of unwanted suspension movement during acceleration and braking D

XC/TRAIL-SPECIFIC SUSPENSION TRAVEL 120mm of Split Pivot® rear wheel travel that is tuned with a progressive leverage ratio but slightly linear tail end; the end result is a very efficient pedaling frame that has very supple small bump feel off the top, a lot of mid-stroke support for corner and pumping terrain, and a subtle ramp (but not too much) in end-stroke that ensures a bottomless feel, while still maximizing the use of all 120mm of rear wheel travel. The frame is designed and balanced for a 120mm travel, 51mm offset front fork, but has been updated for 2016 to allow the use of 130mm travel, 51mm offset forks for aggressive 29er riders looking to add BB height and slacken the headtube angle, and also to compensate for the slightly smaller diameter of 27.5”+ wheel and tire combos

This provides a confidence inspiring angle of attack for rough and steep terrain, and the large wheel diameter paired with a 51mm offset fork maintains a well-balanced steering feel that is nimble enough in twisty corners and techy climbs, and still stable at high speed

SPEARFISH CARBON

FRAME ONLY RRP £1999.99

80mm rear travel carbon frame w/ Split Pivot

Spearfish is our ultra-endurance full-suspension racing machine. Where efficiency and comfort meet, the 80mm of Split Pivot® rear travel is ample, and lets you push yourself further and faster, focusing less on how far it is to the next feed station. Our sponsored rider Kurt Refsnider chose Spearfish to set a new course record for the AZT 300 in 2014, obliterating the mythical 48-hour barrier in the process by a whopping three hours.

SPEARFISH CARBON SPLIT PIVOT® REAR SUSPENSION

The concentric rear axle pivot in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in several performance gains: • Exceptional bump compliance

• Maximum traction • Incredible pedaling efficiency • Predictable braking

• Improved frame geometry due to the elimination of unwanted suspension movement during acceleration and braking D

ENDURANCE-SPECIFIC SUSPENSION TRAVEL Incredible small bump sensitivity and supple braking performance are packed into a very efficient and supportive 80mm of rear wheel travel. A progressive mid stroke keeps the Spearfish well supported in and out of corners, and the last bit of travel ramps nicely, giving the impression that the Spearfish has more travel than it does. When combined with benefits that 29er wheels and tires, the tuned anti-squat of the Split Pivot® suspension on the Spearfish creates a bike that is extremely efficient when you are on the gas and still remains supple enough to eat up the bumps along the way, saving your body valuable energy for later in the race/event/day/week. The frame is designed and balanced for a 100mm travel, 51mm offset front fork, because your arms have less travel than your legs do

The Spearfish is a short travel endurance-racing bike that is surprisingly adept on the race course or out on the open trail. A 69.3° head angle paired with a 51mm offset fork keeps the angle of attack slack enough to offer very confident descending (for a race bike) and stability at high speeds over rough terrain, but still keep the steering feel sharp and precise. A low stance and short 437mm chainstays lend to excellent cornering performance and keep this big-wheeler sprite and lively feeling

CUTTHROAT CARBON CUTTHROAT GEOMETRY

We took what we’ve learned from our tried and true drop-bar mountain bike geometry and updated it for speed. 445mm chainstays will get you up and over everything from technical singletrack trails, two-track, gravel, and long, desolate paved roads quickly, while still preserving the stability and comfort endurance riders need to keep at it day after day. Designed for an optimized fit with the Salsa Woodchipper Bar.

INTERIOR JUNCTION CONTROL MOLDING TECHNOLOGY

We use interior molds at all the main front triangle junctions during layup and curing. This allows for precise control of wall thickness and inner wall smoothness in these areas. This process increases compaction and reduces voids and wrinkles in critical high stress zones. The end result is a top quality carbon frame that delivers consistent high performance

CLASS 5™ VRS The Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System has specially shaped seatstays with a tall, thin, vertically oriented profile that promotes vertical compliance by allowing the seatstays to “flex” outwards on impacts. The horizontally oriented chainstays work to resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end. The seatstays and chainstays lack bridges, furthering the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility. And a rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking while allowing the seatstays to provide that incredible compliance

TOUR DIVIDE DRIVEN FEATURES Designed for maximum frame bag volume on every size. Our size small can carry up to 4 waterbottles (with two on the fork via Three-pack mounts), with room for 5 on our medium through X-Large sizes. Direct mount toptube bag and frame designed hydration routing take the ease of eating and drinking while riding to a whole new level

CroMoly steel Cobra Kai tubing frame w/ Alternator dropouts

EXPEDITION TOURING / WORLD TRAVEL / CULTURAL EXPLORATION Marrakesh is our world-touring bike, designed for fully loaded, rugged exploration. We offer Marrakesh in a drop bar or flat bar set up. Both cockpits have different handling attributes, so we designed geometries best suited for each one. Marrakesh is stable and predictable when heavily loaded, and durable enough to be strapped down to the roof of a bus jostling over a remote pass. When you’ve decided to stop dreaming and actually make that year abroad a reality, Marrakesh is ready to pile on the miles.

MARRAKESH DEORE COBRA KAI CROMOLY TUBESET

Our next generation, Salsa designed, externally and internally butted 4130 tubeset, engineered from the ground up, provides a strong frame at an impressively low weight. Specifically designed for and found on select Salsa frames

ALTERNATOR DROPOUTS The Alternator dropout delivers incredible drivetrain versatility. Run singlespeed or geared, QR or thru-axle, freehub or Rohloff. Set the Alternator dropouts all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase that results in quick and nimble handling, or set back for more stability - the power is yours

M H

GENEROUS TIRE CAPACITY Marrakesh is designed around a 700c/29” (622 ISO) disc brake wheel and is compatible with 700c x 40 tires with mud guards or up to 29 x 2.0” tires without. Max disc rotor size is 180mm

TOURING GEOMETRY Marrakesh features a low bottom bracket for stability and standover, an adjustable chainstay length to tune wheelbase and turning characteristic. The front end is designed with 62mm of mechanical trail (66mm ground trail) resulting in a stable feel that is still allows easy turn initiation when loaded

DROP BAR SPECIFIC SIZING Marrakesh Drop Bar comes in six sizes designed around drop bar setup and features a more upright and relaxed riding position on the tops or hoods for all-day comfort over varied road surfaces. The drop bar adds a third, more aerodynamic position for battling the wind. If flat bars are more your thing, check out the Marrakesh Flat Bar, which features an identical fit and hand position as the Marrakesh Drop Bar, but get’s there using a flat handlebar

MULTIPLE BOTTLE CAGES All frame sizes accept three bottle cages. Three-Pack mounts on the fork legs increase capacity to 5 bottles per frameset

FENDER MOUNTS All framesets ship with Alternator swing plates that feature fender mount bosses and the front fork dropouts feature double eyelets

MARRAKESH FLAT BAR FLAT BAR-SPECIFIC SIZING

Marrakesh Flat Bar comes in five sizes that are designed around flat bar setup and features the same upright and relaxed riding position for all-day comfort over varied road surfaces that the Marrakesh Drop Bar does. The XS size mimics the exact body/hand position of the Marrakesh Drop Bar 50cm, the SM mimics the 52cm, and XL mimics the 59.5cm. The Flat Bar MD and LG sizes splits the 54cm, 55cm, sizes 57cm Drop Bar sizes. Marrakesh Flat Bar offers a no-compromise solution for riders looking to tour with flat handlebars. Gone are the days for poor standover, short toptubes and extra long stems that result from trying to use flat bars on a frame designed for drop bars

VERSATILE CABLE ROUTING E

DOWNTUBE SHIFTER COMPATIBLE Shifter bosses on the downtube allow the Marrakesh to be set up with indexed or friction shift levers directly, or adapted with housing stops to allow use of bar-end, trigger, or integrated brake/ shift road levers on the bars. This versatility increases the odds of cobbling together a shifting drivetrain anywhere you might need to…when the adventure really begins

MULTIPLE BOTTLE CAGES

The frame features housing guides and stops to account for everything; 1x, 2x, 3x, and Rohloff, along with full-length rear brake hose/housing

Our Alternator 135 Low Deck rack is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the Marrakesh frame and keep the load as low and close to center as possible, and comes in both aluminum and steel options. Other racks can be fitted with the use of the Alternator Rack hardware kit or P-clamps. The Marrakesh fork comes loaded with both ThreePack bosses and low rider bosses. This allows the use of either Anything Cages or low rider racks if panniers are desired. Or consider the use of a frame bag within the front triangle
