2016 Salsa Beargrease X5  Though the bears might not appreciate you stealing their grease, you & your Beargrease X5 will be long gone before they can catch you.

A 2 x 10-speed drivetrain courtesy of SRAM is all you need to thrash technical climbs & steep downhill sections, & when it’s time to scrub speed just squeeze your Avid/ Tektro levers for smooth, modulated stopping power. Salsa brings a quality aluminium bar & stem to the party, & WTB is all over the supportive saddle. ...

Adventurer!   The Salsa Fargo is a drop-bar, off-road adventure bike. It has developed a cult status as an off-road touring & bikepacking machine & fuels Salsa’s passion for long days in the saddle in distant lands.   The Fargo receives Alternator dropouts & the Firestarter carbon fork, making this an even more capable & versatile bike. Its effective toptube length is shorter than modern 'long toptube, short stem' frames. This means that you can run dropbars like Salsa’s Woodchipper handlebar. A shorter toptube allows a longer headtube for stiffness & strength. Run geared, singlespeed, thru-axle, or Rohloff setups if you choose the right Alternator swing plates (Note: available in a replacement kit, which is not included in the package).   Use bikepacking bags or add racks & panniers for a longer trip. The Fargo is designed to take you wherever it is you wish to go, be it the Camino de Santiago route from France to Spain, or an extended exploration of Patagonia.   Features of Salsa FARGO 29": • Front suspension compatible
- designed for 100 mm travel suspension fork or Salsa Firestarter Carbon/ Firestarter Cro Moly fork.  • ZS44 semi-integrated headset standard
- compatible with tapered or straight 1-1/8" steerer forks. • Rear wheel evolution friendly
- alternator dropouts currently handle Geared & Singlespeed QR & Rohloff; a 12x 142 mm Thru-Axle version is available separately, allowing you multiple setup options & facilitating rear wheel evolution  • Set-it-&-forget-it singlespeed setup
- the Alternator dropouts swinging design & set screws offer quick setup & tensioning. Vertical wheel entry means no re-tensioning or brake adjustments are necessary after a wheel change. Slip-free & creak-free performance.  • Adjustable ride characteristics
- using the Alternator dropouts, geared riders can fine tune the ride characteristics of their bike by adjusting chainstay length & overall wheelbase to be quick & nimble, or longer & more stable  • Versatile crank/gearing options
- accepts 1x, 2x, & 3x mountain cranksets for a wide variety of personal setup options.  • Waterbottle bosses
- frame accepts 3 waterbottle cages (2 on size XS). TIG-welded in for durability. Fork accepts 2 waterbottle cages.

2016 Salsa Marrakesh Drop Bar  Alaska to Chile, anyone? Portland Oregon to Portland Maine?   Marrakesh is Salsa's new heavy-duty world-touring bike. It’s designed with all the amenities & durability needed to cycle the globe.   Salsa’s Pete Koski, engineer for Marrakesh, says, “A true touring bike should have a lower bottom bracket & longer chainstay/wheelbase than a similar sized road, gravel, commuting, or mountain bike. The lower BB also lowers your saddle (without affecting saddle-to-pedal distance), & therefore lowers your body relative to the axles. This all results in a centre of gravity that makes riding & steering a loaded bike easier & more predictable.”   Constructed with the next-generation, Salsa-designed Cobra Kai Cro Moly tubing, the externally & internally butted tubeset is engineered to provide an impressively strong frame. Koski adds, “ Steel is tough & has a very long life span. In the unlikely event that anything will happen to damage a fine steel frame like Marrakesh, finding someone that can weld it back to a rideable state, even in distant lands, is much more likely than finding someone that can weld titanium or aluminium, or repair a composite frame.”   Marrakesh comes stock with a dedicated Salsa Alternator 135 Low Deck Rack. The frame also features three water bottle mounts, & the fork

Includes:: Three-Pack mounts for Anything Cages or additional water bottles should you choose to use them. For a traditional front pannier set up though, it also

Includes:: low rider bosses.   Fender clearance: there's room for fenders with the 700c x 40mm Schwalbes that come with the bike, but that's about as wide as you can go. Without fenders, you can go up to 29 x 2.0” tires. Marrakesh fits a disc rotor size up to 180mm for plenty of stopping power when riding big mountain passes fully loaded. It comes with the excellent BB7 mechanical disc brakes with 160 mm rotors.   Marrakesh also

Includes:: a spare spoke mount & a kickstand plate because as Koski says, “ Kickstands are highly functional & cool when touring, despite what roadies & MTB’ers might have you think.”  A great asset to have on a touring bike is a dynamo system that not only powers your lights but can also help keep your smart devices & external battery pack charged. We specialize in configuring complete dynamo systems using the best components. Hit us up to discuss. Marrakesh is a world-touring bike, designed for fully loaded, rugged exploration. Intentionally designed whether riding drop or flat bar, Marrakesh’s unique geometries that employ Chromoly steel & Cobra Kai tubing make for a durable & predictable ride even when heavily loaded. Comes with Salsa Low-Deck Rear Alternator Rack, capable of safely carrying 60 lbs.
