About this bike

How do you spell race-winning performance? S-P-E-A-R-F-I-S-H. Salsa's Spearfish Carbon RS1 is an endurance race monster, with the features to take you from the starting line to the podium. The Spearfish's tried-and-true endurance geometry and all-day-long, all-day-strong performance has been enhanced with a dose of carbon fiber for a bike that scrambles up climbs like a goat and won't weigh you down in the back half of the race. Split Pivot suspension and a RockShox Monarch shock give you 80mm of rear travel, which is paired with a impressively smooth 100mm RockShox RS-1 fork for traction and bump-busting compliance with efficiency and speed. SRAM's ultra-light XX1 components streamline your drivetrain and offer 11 wide-ranging gears to get you up and down the trail. And, a pair of SRAM's powerful Guide brakes keep things under control. Salsa sweat the details on the Spearfish so you wouldn't have to—giving you a Thomson stem and seatpost, carbon Salsa handlebar, and a svelte WTB saddle—so that when you win, you'll look good doing it.
