2020 Steel Bike Line
Steel is an indispensable part of the Salsa lineup—it always has been. Some of our most legendary models have been crafted from CroMoly, and our 2020 steel all-road bikes carry on that legacy.
These are bikes built to carry you to far-off places with the comfort and ride quality that only steel can provide. They’re built to shine in adverse conditions and to provide you with a lifetime of ride experiences. They’re versatile enough to be in their element virtually anywhere, be it the local park for your first overnighter or parked on the ferry in Puerto Yungay halfway down the Carretera Austral.
What makes our steel offering so special?
- -CroMoly tubing designed by Salsa to make the most of steel’s unique ride quality on each bike
- -Room for large tires, because the only sure thing about unpredictable terrain is that you’ll encounter it at some point
- -Enough cargo and accessory mounts to make anything possible
Equipped with these features and new colors and specifications, our latest steel bikes are purpose-built to help you forge adventures.
