Manufacturer Description
Horsethief Carbon SLX is built to deliver trail thrills no matter where you ride it. The Split Pivot® rear suspension system increases pedaling and braking efficiency in the 120 mm of rear suspension travel, and the 140 mm fork grants confidence when the trail throws down the gauntlet. Shimano’s time-tested SLX components shift (and stop) with reliable precision. An all-arounder through and through, Horsethief’s flip chip and capability to run 29” or 27.5 plus wheels offer plenty of setup options for your inner tinkerer. Horsethief is a true renaissance bike.
