Fork
The Spearfish Carbon XT comes factory-installed with the Fox Performance Elite Float 34 fork. This has a travel range of 120mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. To sum it all, when buying a bike, ensure that you look for a fork capable of decent travel.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Spearfish Carbon XT model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Salsa Spearfish Carbon XT 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, your safety is in good hands.
Dropper post
Salsa Spearfish Carbon XT comes with a dropper post. If you are a technical rider, a dropper post is essential. A dropper post provides increased safety while riding. The lever system, allows you to move your saddle up and down, which is very useful on climbs and descends.
