Dos Niner
This specific model has been archived.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 Dos Niner stands proudly as a definitive part of modern Salsa history. Our first 29’er design, the scandium pivotless softie continues to earn praise from the folks that ride it. Its Relish shock provides 1" of rear wheel travel, which is just enough to take the edge off things when combined with the extra smoothness provided by its 29" wheels.
Our custom-drawn scandium tubing makes the pivotless Dos Niner possible. Scandium’s increased fatigue life allows the chainstays to withstand the flex cycles that would cause other materials to fail.
Disc brake only, the Dos Niner presents a clean, minimalist profile.
With clearance for tires up to 2.3" in the rear and generous standover height, the Dos Niner rolls on as a formidable off-road machine. It delivers high-speed 29’er fun with traction to spare while smoothing out roots and rocks better than a smaller wheel.
Dos Niner. Getting the job done in English, Spanish, or any other language.

The best way to determine your proper frame size is to visit your local bicycle dealer. The fit chart below is a simple starting point, but the enormous variation in human body dimensions make it impossible to guarantee this fit chart will work precisely for you. We strongly suggest you consult your local bike shop in this matter. They will help you make a wise purchase.
