Salsa Horsethief Carbon XT
Details
Horsethief Carbon XT is one bike for many trails. 120mm of Split Pivot rear suspension coupled with a 140mm fork equip you for riding New England’s infamously rocky and rooty singletrack, Moab’s slickrock, Copper Harbor’s flow trails, or trails that hold unknown challenges. Shimano’s XT group upholds its reputation for refined shifting and braking performance. With the added adaptability of tuning your ride with a flip chip and capacity for 29-inch or 27.5 plus wheels, Horsethief is a versatile carbon mountain bike that lets you ride wherever and whatever you want.
A dropper seatpost allows you to quickly lower and raise your seat to give you an ideal riding position. Dropping your seat creates a lower center of gravity for better control and maneuverability on steep descents, while raising it puts you at normal riding height for efficient pedaling.
Construction can include either hydraulic- or cable-actuated systems and the post’s travel can either be infinitely adjustable or stopped at set intervals, depending on the model.
Dropper seatposts come in standard lengths and diameters and vary by the amount of travel.
