Ala Carte Ti Frame
This specific model has been archived. It is no longer being produced or has changed in appearance but is listed here for historical/research purposes.
The Ala Carte Ti frame is a case of classic meets contemporary.
Classic, in the sense that the Ala Carte has been getting the job done, day in and day out, for over 20 years. Contemporary, in the sense that we’ve taken a longtime favorite and proven design, updated its geometry for 100mm suspension forks, and crafted it from what many argue is the finest frame material going: 3/2.5 seamless titanium.
Titanium offers a truly unique balance of strength, low weight, stiffness, vibration damping, and durability. Combine those great attributes with our dialed Salsa geometry and you’ve got a winner.
The Ala Carte Ti is nimble, accelerates quickly, inspires confidence, and climbs like a billy goat. Settle in on that long climb and then punch it in the singletrack. Relish the feel of the bike as you stand up and hammer. You earned this stretch of trail. Now it’s time to enjoy it.
