Horsethief Deore components
Fork
The Horsethief Deore comes factory-installed with the RockShox 35 Silver fork. This has a travel range of 140mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Horsethief Deore model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Salsa Horsethief Deore has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Dropper post
The Salsa model is also equipped with a dropper post. Therefore, climbing or descending will be a breeze.
