Additional Features

6061-T6 Aluminum Tube Set

A blend of our proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 double- and triple-butted tubing creates a light, responsive, and durable frame with great trail feel

Rangefinder Trail Geometry

Rangefinder's long top tube, short stem, and 439 mm chainstays provide a stable ride to keep you in control on steep and technical terrain

120mm front suspension travel

A 120 mm fork soaks up the trail and a thru-axle keeps the front end stiff for precise handling

Dropper Post

Drop your saddle at the press of a button to tackle steep descents and technical terrain with the included TranzX dropper post. The Rangefinder frame also provides stealth dropper post cable routing for a clean look

Cargo Capacity

The Rangefinder frame has two bottle cages on the inside of the frame, an accessory mount on the underside of the down tube, and top tube mounts for use with our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag

Full-length Cable Housing

Full-length housing improves shifting in poor conditions and increases the time between maintenance intervals

Dual Wheel Size Compatiblity

Rangefinder can fit both 29" (maximum of 29 x 2.6") and 27.5+ (27.5 x 2.8–3.0") wheels and tires

FAQ

What size wheels/tires can I use on this frame?

Rangefinder is designed around 27.5 x 2.8–3.0" or 29 x 1.9–2.6" wheels and tires

Can I use a suspension fork on this frame?

Yes, this frame was designed and tested for use with a suspension fork with an axle-to-crown length up to 541mm (typically a 130 mm-travel 29/27.5+ fork). Check the fork manufacturer’s specifications to ensure the model and travel combination you intend to use is equal to or less than this length. Using a longer length fork will void the frame warranty and could result in frame failure.

Do you offer touch-up paint?

No, we do not offer touch up paint. Hobby shops or automotive stores are excellent places to find paint. We suggest you test the paint on a scrap piece of metal before using it on your frame.

I crashed and dented (or cracked) my frame. Is it safe to ride?

Stop riding your frame immediately and take it to the nearest Salsa authorized dealer for inspection. A dented or cracked tube represents a structural weakening of the frame, and is a safety risk.
