2024 Salsa Marrakesh Alivio
SalsaEvery decision behind the Marrakesh Alivio was made with function and durability in mind. The included front and rear racks let you load it up and go on day one, and its myriad of mounting points mean you dont have to leave anything at home. Triple-butted steel tubing and high-volume tires let you cover countless miles in comfort, while its touring geometry keeps everything stable when riding loaded. Carefully-selected Shimano drivetrain components deliver ease of use, reliability, and gear range for the longest flats and steepest mountain passes.
Alternator Dropouts
Tune your ride characteristics and switch to single speed with ease. Our swappable dropout plates allow for multiple drivetrain options.
On-Bike Storage
Carry more on your bike and less on your body. Our frames and forks feature mounts for extra bottles, camping gear, and ride accessories.
TRIPLE BUTTED CROMOLY TUBESET
Our next-generation, Salsa-designed, externally and internally butted 4130 tubeset, engineered from the ground up, provides a strong frame at an impressively low weight. Specifically designed for and found on select Salsa frames
ALTERNATOR DROPOUTS
The Alternator dropout delivers incredible drivetrain versatility. Run singlespeed or geared, QR or thru-axle, freehub or Rohloff. Set the Alternator dropouts all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase that results in quick and nimble handling or set back for more stability-the power is yours. See our Alternator Page for more info
SALSA MARRAKESH FORK INCLUDED
Steel, straight 1-1/8" steerer, with stainless double eyelet dropouts, low rider rack bosses and Three-Pack bosses
SALSA DOWN UNDER FRONT RACK INCLUDED (COMPLETE BIKE ONLY)
This low-rider style rack is perfect for hauling a set of touring panniers on the front of your Marrakesh.
MARRAKESH ALTERNATOR 135 LOW-DECK RACK INCLUDED
Designed for Marrakesh, the Alternator 135 Low-Deck Rack has a shorter rear axle to deck measurement that keeps weight lower and enhances loaded bike stability
GENEROUS TIRE CAPACITY
Marrakesh is designed around a 700c/29 (622 ISO) disc brake wheel and is compatible with 700c x 40mm tires with fenders or up to 29 x 2.0" tires without fenders. Maximum disc rotor size is 180mm
TOURING GEOMETRY
Marrakesh features a low bottom bracket for stability and standover, and adjustable chainstay length to tune wheelbase and turning characteristic. The front end is designed with 62mm of mechanical trail (66mm ground trail) resulting in a stable feel that still allows easy turn initiation when loaded
DROP BAR-SPECIFIC SIZING
Marrakesh Drop Bar comes in six sizes designed around drop bar setup and features a more upright and relaxed riding position on the tops or hoods for all-day comfort over varied road surfaces. The drop bar offers multiple hand positions, some of which provide aerodynamic benefits
DOWNTUBE SHIFTER COMPATIBLE
Shifter bosses on the downtube allow the Marrakesh to be set up with indexed or friction shift levers directly or adapted with housing stops to allow use of bar end, trigger, or integrated brake/shift road levers on the bars. This versatility increases the odds of cobbling together a shifting drivetrain anywhere you might need to...when the adventure really begins
MULTIPLE BOTTLE CAGES
All frame sizes accept three bottle cages. Three-Pack mounts on the fork legs inrease capacity to five bottles per frameset
FENDER MOUNTS
All frameset ship with Alternator swing plates that feature fender mount bosses and the front fork dropouts feature double eyelets
SPARE SPOKE MOUNT
Located on the top of the left chainstay, spare spokes mean a temporary slowdown to true a wheel, instead of a longer one
KICKSTAND PLATE
Because kickstands are highly functional and cool when touring, despite what roadies and mountain bikers might have you think
MULTIPLE CARGO LOADING OPTIONS
Our Alternator 135 Low Deck rack is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the Marrakesh frame and keep the load as low and close to center as possible. The Marrakesh fork comes loaded with both Three-Pack bosses and low rider bosses. This allows the use of either Anything Cages or low rider racks if panniers are desired. And dont forget to consider the use of a frame bag within the front triangle
