2025 Salsa Spearfish C Deore 12 - Bone White

Spearfish C Deore 12 is our endurance and XC MTB made for the most challenging days on the bike, ranging from 12-hour races to bikepacking events. Its stiff carbon frame wastes no watts, and 120mm of Split Pivot rear suspension adds to the efficiency ethos with responsive pedaling performance, predictable braking, and excellent traction. A RockShox SID fork adds 120mm of trail-smoothing travel up front.

Spearfish's on-bike cargo features make long days out easier, with capacity for two bottles (up to three on MD-XL frames), and your repair kit, plus top tube mounts for accessories like our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag or a K-Edge computer mount. The Shimano Deore 12-speed group is a reliable workhorse that goes mile after mile without issue - just like you. Spearfish C Deore 12 is the carbon endurance and XC MTB for your most ambitious pursuits.

KEY FEATURES:

Split Pivot Suspension System

• Allows us to tune the pedaling and braking forces independently
• Maximizes pedaling and braking performance without compromising either
• Results in optimal pedaling efficiency and traction when braking

Split Pivot +

• Multiple travel classes in one chassis provides riders with the opportunity to adapt their bikes to various adventures

Flip Chip

• Provides the ability to alternate wheel and tire sizes
• Riders can adjust for their terrain, or desired handling characteristics

Suspension Kinematics

• Lively, responsive ride feel with good bottom-out resistance
• Free, active, and uniform suspension feel under braking
• Efficient pedaling, stellar climbing traction, supple small-bump performance
• Tunable for all riders

On-Bike Storage

• Adventures require gear and riders should get to choose whether they carry it on their bike or on their body

Frame Protection

• Our products are built from experience - we've been there enough to know that a carbon fork can benefit from added protection just as much as the downtube on a suspension bike.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

Split Pivot rear suspension design

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 and pedaling efficiency, smooth and predictable braking throughout travel, and maximum traction.

Split Pivot + design methodology

The Split Pivot+ design methodology allows our engineers to optimize a frame for more than one travel class. This means that Spearfish riders can adjust rear travel from 100-120mm rear and fit forks from 100-130mm.

Carbon fiber frame

High-modulus carbon fiber frame, seatstays, and chainstays with 6061-T6 aluminum links for durability

Endurance XC geometry

Spearfish is designed on the premise that precision and efficiency equal speed. Spearfish's renowned pedigree in ultra-endurance racing has informed every geometry choice here. The sub 66.3-degree head tube angle combined with 430mm chainstays provide confidence at speed without sacrificing agility, with a flip chip to further tune to your liking. A 77.3-degree seat tube angle maintains a comfortable pedaling position for long days in the saddle.

Flip chip

A flip chip allows a simple and quick 5mm adjustment to bottom bracket height and 0.3-degree adjustment to head tube angle to account for your personal preference, terrain, or tire diameter.

Purpose-tuned suspension

Spearfish-specific control link and shock links optimize the frame geometry and kinematics for its suspension travel, delivering a precise, efficient ride feel.

Maximum bottle capacity

Stay hydrated on long rides with space for two bottles on sizes XS-SM; sizes MD-XL fit three bottles.

Accessory mounts

Spearfish's main triangle features accessory mounts for bolting your repair kit.

Top tube accessory mounts

Top tube mounts accommodate the Salsa EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag or K-Edge Top Tube Mount for bike computers.

Molded frame protection

Molded rubber down tube, seat tube, chainstay, and seatstay guards protect your frame from impacts and abrasion
