SALSA Cycles CASSIDY C FRAME
The Cassidy C Frameset is the foundation of your big-travel bike dreams. Whether you want a bike for occasional park days or you’re a full-on enduro racer, this is the ticket. Our carbon enduro bike frame comes with a Fox Float X2 Factory shock with 165 mm of travel — pair it with a 180 mm fork for a stable ride over unpredictable terrain and features. Cassidy’s geometry and Split Pivot suspension design are a recipe for a planted ride through gnarly root beds, wicked rock gardens and an air of confidence when you’re airing it out. On-bike storage features include a padded tube strap spot, a top tube mount, and full-size bottle capacity to take your rides further. The groundwork is laid — build it up your way.
