Salsa Cassidy Carbon XT

Cassidy C XT is a well-balanced carbon enduro bike. The stiff frame helps you hold your line through treacherous terrain, while Fox's Float X2 Performance shock and Float 38 Performance Elite GRIP2 soften the trail with 165 mm rear and 180 mm front travel. Progressive trail geometry and our Split Pivot suspension design keep your tires planted both down and up the mountain.

On-bike cargo features such as a padded tube strap spot, top tube mount, and full-size bottle clearance support extra laps or longer days out, making Cassidy ideal for enduro adventures. Shimano's XT 1 x 12 components bring smooth shifting, wide range, and four-piston brakes to take it all to the next level. Time to start adding trails to your "must-ride" list.

KEY FEATURES:

SPLIT PIVOT® REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM:
Split Pivot provides a host of impressive suspension characteristics because the system isolates pedaling forces and braking forces from each other, allowing us to tune and optimize the bike for both independently. The concentric rear axle pivot, in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in: Excellent bump compliance / Incredible pedaling efficiency / Smooth and predictable braking throughout travel / Maximum traction.

SPLIT PIVOT +
Split Pivot + is our suspension development philosophy that allows riders to swap suspension travel within a single chassis.

Flip Chip 2.0
Integrated into the shock link mount, Flip Chip 2.0 allows simple, quick adjustments to bottom bracket height and head tube angle to account for the rider’s personal preference, terrain, or wheel size and tire diameter.

MULLET BUILD COMPATIBILITY
Mullet build compatibility lets riders run a 29" wheel in the front and a 27.5" wheel in the back with minimal impacts to geometry.
