Tributary is Salsa’s electric rugged-road adventure bike. It’s built to devour big, burly dirt routes. Tributary’s well-balanced gravel geometry, massive tire clearance, and suspension fork mean total comfort and control on sketchy surfaces — even at ebike speeds. The BOSCH Performance Line Speed motor empowers riders to tackle demanding bikepacking routes, explore vast networks of forest roads, or add miles to any adventure. Pair all that with Salsa’s on-bike cargo features, and Tributary is ready to take riders from their front door to far-out.


Overview

Tributary Apex Eagle SUS makes backcountry odysseys more accessible than ever. The egravel geometry puts you in a stable, comfortable riding position on the 6061-T6 aluminum frame. A 120mm suspension fork and our Class 5™ VRS (vibration reduction system) devour rocks, ruts, and washboard roads. Bosch’s Performance Line Speed mid-drive system and 625Wh battery help you expand your range of operations — explore every spur, see what’s at the top of that silly-steep climb, and venture miles farther than usual in less time. Rack and Three-Pack mounts let you load up without feeling the weight penalty (be the hero who brings the cast-iron to the overnighter). SRAM’s Apex Eagle drivetrain grants you a wide-range 12-speed cassette and the joy of perfect, effortless shifts every time. Tributary Apex Eagle will show you what adventure ebikes are capable of, so you’d better start plotting.
