Purpose-Tuned Suspension The Blackthorn-specific control link and shock links optimize the frame geometry and kinematics for its suspension travel, delivering a well-rounded, balanced trail feel. Progressive Geometry Blackthorn is long, low, and slack, with a dash of moderation to preserve pedaling performance. A 64.6-degree head tube angle and short-offset fork feel confident when descending loose, steep trails or blasting through rock gardens. A steep 76.5-degree seat tube angle and consistent cockpit sizing makes for a comfortable pedaling position, while the moderate bottom bracket height provides stability at speed without sacrificing pedaling performance in technical sections. The long front center provides stability in extreme terrain while the short 432 mm chainstays make for nimble handling in tight situations.

Carbon fiber material offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent toughness and weight savings compared to other materials. 6066-T6 aluminum heat-treated chainstays add durability. Top Tube Accessory Mounts Top tube mounts accommodate K-Edge Top Tube Mount for bike computers or the Salsa EXP Series Direct Mount Top Tube Bag. Down Tube Three-Pack Mounts Three-Pack mounts on down tube accommodate a large water bottle on the lower pair and a frame-mounted pump bracket on the upper pair. Integrated Repair Kit Location Located in front of the rear shock in the front triangle, we provide a dedicated place for a small repair kit, tube, or bag of gummies. No more loading up your pockets or strapping the essentials to random spots on the frame and damaging the frame finish. Carbon frames feature an integrated reinforced slot and frame protection. Aluminum frames feature a machined strap slot. The slot is sized to accommodate most 3/4"- to 1"-wide straps. A Salsa Tube Strap is included with each frame (Salsa Tube Straps are for use with tubes only) Accommodates a 26 oz Bottle All Blackthorn sizes accept a standard 26 oz water bottle within the front triangle.

Top of the Team Marin tree, the Team Marin 2 is fast enough for the podium of your next XC race, without losing any of its teeth on the trails. We started with a high-end Series 4 aluminum frame and fast-rolling 29” wheels and then added a Fox 34 StepCast fork, a Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain, TRP G-spec brakes and Maxxis Rekon Race rubber to create a super fun, super capable and super speedy XC trail ripper. SERIES 4 ALUMINUM FRAME - The Team Marin features Series 4 aluminum frames, with advanced tube forming for minimal weight, 3D forged dropouts, flat-mount disc tabs, full internal cable routing, and a boost 148mm thru axle. INTERNAL DROPPER POST ROUTING - The Team Marin frame includes internal routing in the front triangle for a clean, fast appearance, and allowing for Team Marin 1 owners to upgrade to an internal dropper post if they desire. 29” WHEELS AND 2.35” TIRES FOR MAXIMUM SPEED - 29” wheels and 2.35” XC tires ensure maximum grip and float over obstacles to maintain speed so you can pick up those personal records and keep ahead of the pack.

Big mountains, epic passes, and all-day ripping descents. If you live for the alpine adventure and gravity-fueled downhills, look no further than the Alpine Trail series. Updated for 2021, the Alpine Trail is built around the longest travel version of our critically acclaimed MultiTrac platform with progressive slack headtube/steep seattube geometry, low-slung aluminum frames, and 29" wheels. The Alpine Trail is here to conquer all singletrack in its path. Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Frame - Alpine Trail Carbon 1 and 2 models feature high modulus carbon fiber and monocoque construction to deliver the strongest and stiffest Alpine Trail to date. Modern Geometry - The Alpine Trail is at the cutting edge of aggressive enduro geometry, bringing you the best long travel bike for the job. A 63.5° headtube angle, 78° seat tube angle, short 430mm chainstays, and a long front center unlock the trail for pure long travel bliss. Functional Long Travel - The Alpine Trail was built to give riders long travel with no sacrifice in pedaling efficiency, providing a bike that will outshine the competition on the climb and still allow you to hold it wide open on the descents.
