SALSA Cycles RANGEFINDER ADVENT X 29
Rangefinder Advent X 29 is not just any hardtail trail bike—it’s your trusty trail companion, your partner for all things dirt. Its stable trail geometry is reassuring on many types of terrain. A 120 mm suspension fork grants control and comfort when the trail gets technical. 29” wheels maintain momentum and are great for rolling over obstacles like rocks and roots, while the 2.6”-wide tires offer traction and support. MicroSHIFT’s Advent X drivetrain offers smooth shifting action and evenly spaced gearing for predictable performance on the trail.
FEATURES
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
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
