Salsa Bikes Guide
Adventure by bike with Salsa Bicycles
We ride to have fun, to push ourselves, and to enjoy the freedom that bikes provide. That's why the Salsa lineup is overflowing with models that help us do just that.
With a particular fondness for the road less-traveled, you'll find there's a Salsa bike that kicks serious butt in whatever style of riding you love.
Are you a rider who wants to shred trails all day long? Do you love heading out for a group ride down whatever road, path, or trail looks interesting? Are you itching to pack up your tent and head out into the woods? Do you feel like racing a few thousand miles through the most beautiful spaces on Earth?
If you like to have fun on two wheels, there's a Salsa bike for you.
Salsa Mountain Bikes
Whether you're heading out for a trail-shredding session or an epic bikepacking weekend, Salsa mountain bikes are the most fun way to ride and explore.
