Rustler rewards riders who throw some body language into the way they tackle trails. Its responsive trail geometry and 27.5″ wheels will inspire you to find fun on every little trail feature.
Features
- Carbon frame and seat stays featuring the Split Pivot suspension design with 130mm of efficient travel, remaining fully active under braking while supportive throughout its travel, paired with a 150mm suspension fork
- Rear Flip chip adjusts the head tube angle and bottom bracket height for terrain and personal preference, combined with a 425mm chainstay length and 27.5″ wheels, make Rustler the liveliest bike in Salsa’s line
- The compact suspension layout combined with a low top tube, facilitates on-trail body language and offers stellar standover clearance across all sizes
- A short stem paired with long top tube, combined with a 66-degree head tube angle provides descending confidence, yet balances overall wheelbase length and slow speed maneuverability
- One full-size bottle cage mount fits inside the front triangle for all frame sizes. Pair with Anything Bracket for pack-free singletrack bliss
- Spec’d with a 27.5 x 2.6″ wheel/tire combination, but can accommodate a range from 27.5 x 2.3 – 2.8’’
