Overview
About this bike
Ok, try to keep up with us here: lightweight scandium frame, 5 inches of front/rear travel controlled by Fox Shox, XT shifting and braking, Race Face cranks and DT Swiss hubs laced to Salsa rims and wrapped with 2.35 tires. Whew. More than the sum of its parts, Salsa's El Kaboing is the bike of choice for long days in big, burly terrain. You'll climb higher and descend faster with the single pivot, flexing seatstays rear suspension. These seatstays eliminate the need for rear pivots, which increases stiffness and durability in the rear triangle, reduces weight and lessens stress on the other pivots and bearings. All this is nice of course, but the real proof is in the ride. From big hits to stutter bumps and rock gardens to huge climbs, your Kaboing rules them all.
