2024 Salsa Rangefinder Deore 12 29
SalsaRangefinder Deore 12 29 is a proven recipe for a good time on trails near and far. We baked in a host of nice features to make it one of the best hardtail trail bike options out there: our stable trail geometry, a 120 mm suspension fork, and a dropper post help you feel confident in taking on new features. 29" wheels help you roll over obstacles, and 2.6"-wide tires have plenty of traction on tap. Throw in Shimanos Deore 12-speed drivetrain for a wide gear range and youre ready to dig into whatever the trail serves up.
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.
6061-T6 ALUMINUM TUBE SET
A blend of our proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 double- and triple-butted tubing creates a light, responsive, and durable frame with great trail feel
RANGEFINDER TRAIL GEOMETRY
Rangefinder's long top tube, short stem, and 439 mm chainstays provide a stable ride to keep you in control on steep and technical terrain
120 MM OF FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVEL
A 120 mm fork soaks up the trail and a thru-axle keeps the front end stiff for precise handling
DROPPER POST INCLUDED
Drop your saddle at the press of a button to tackle steep descents and technical terrain with the included TranzX dropper post. The Rangefinder frame also provides stealth dropper post cable routing for a clean look
CARGO CAPACITY
The Rangefinder frame has two bottle cages on the inside of the frame, an accessory mount on the underside of the down tube, and top tube mounts for use with our EXP Series Direct-Mount Top Tube Bag. Rear rack mounting bosses are also included at the dropouts, and with the addition of a 35.0mm Rack-Lock seatpost collar, a rear rack can be fitted
FULL-LENGTH CABLE ROUTING
Full-length housing improves shifting in poor conditions and increases the time between maintenance intervals
DUAL WHEEL SIZE COMPATIBILITY
Rangefinder can fit both 29" (maximum of 29 x 2.6") and 27.5+ (27.5 x 2.8-3.0") wheels and tires
