If rough, rocky, rooty cross-country trails are the problem, El Santo is Salsa’s solution.

Designed around a 100mm suspension fork, the rear end delivers a matching four inches of suspension travel. Its scandium frame utilizes a forged and CNC-machined rocker arm, and sealed cartridge bearings to activate a RockShox MC 3.3 air shock. It’s an effective and proven suspension design that grapples with the best of them.

Generous standover height and tire clearance for 2.3” tires make El Santo even more capable. For the vertically blessed or challenged, our XS through XL frame sizes have you covered.

Lightweight and efficient, El Santo is the perfect platform for a plethora of possibilities. All day trail bike? Ultra light XC bike or adventure racer? Solo 24-hour machine? Build it to be the bike you want.
