2020 salsa Rustler Carbon SLX
Manufacturer Description
Rustler Carbon SLX is a light and flickable 27.5+ trail bike so you can have fun while getting the job done. 27.5” wheels and 425 mm chainstays make for a nimble bike that loves to get creative with trail features. The Split Pivot® rear suspension system delivers excellent pedaling efficiency and traction, making climbing easier than it should be on a full-suspension trail bike. Shimano’s SLX drivetrain keeps shifting reliably precise, and the four-piston brakes bring everything to a stop when you need it. One ride and you’ll find that Rustler is a mountain bike that makes the most of every inch of the trail.
