Additional Information
Split Pivot provides a host of impressive suspension characteristics because the system isolates pedaling forces and braking forces from each other, allowing us to tune and optimize the bike for both independently. The concentric rear axle pivot, in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in excellent bump compliance and pedaling efficiency, smooth and predictable braking throughout travel, and maximum traction
We kept coming back to the Blackthorn’s potential for adventure. Not just because adventure is what you do on a Salsa. But because it’s built into this bike. The steady, confident descending, the burly, reliable frame and the long-haul-ready climbing are made for big days. Even Salsa’s clever gear strap gives the Blackthorn a little backcountry cachet.”
