Overview
About this bike
The Salsa Pony Rustler Carbon SLX is a backcountry leader in the quest for riding epic singletrack. This full-suspension bike features mid-fat 27.5 x 3.0-inch tires for unbelievable grip, and 120mm of Split Pivot rear suspension for impressive traction and pedaling efficiency. The RockShox Monarch RT3 rear shock and 130mm Revelation RC fork combo complement the suspension design with predictable handling, allowing you to ride with confidence through rough and unfamiliar terrain. And, thanks to Boost hub and bottom bracket spacing, the Pony Rustler can run both the stock 27.5+ wheelset or an alternate 29er wheelset to suit your experience. A Shimano SLX 1x11 drivetrain offers rock-solid shifting performance, and Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes provide great modulation for precise speed control. A KS E30i dropper post paired with a WTB Volt Sport saddle complete this ready-to-ride build, letting you pop, lock, and flow as you bust moves across the high mountain dance floor.
