Overview
About this bike
Salsa's Ala Carte is a stronghold of hardtail simplicity and beauty. The smooth lines and immaculate welds on its True Temper OX Platinum tubeset and chromoly fork create a bike that looks as good as it rides thanks to steel's incredible vibration damping qualities. And, it rolls in style on Salsa's Semi rims and sticky WTB tires, while Shimano and SRAM handling the shifting duties with a fine mix of XT, X-7 and X-9 parts. Plus, Avid's BB7 mechanical discs slow you down in all conditions and a sweet selection of Salsa components keeps you cruising with awesome durability and fine looks.
