Salsa Deadwood NX1 (2018)

The meandering trails of your dreams just got a whole lot closer thanks to Salsa's new iteration of the Deadwood. Wild bikepacking trips, epic point-to-point endurance bouts, and technical trail dominance — it's all yours with capable 29 x 2.6-inch tires paired to a short-travel Split Pivot suspension design that work together to keep you moving efficiently. Heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum gives you a lightweight, stiff, and strong top-shelf platform, while the frame's endurance geometry ensures you'll stay in the saddle longer thanks to its comfortable riding posture. The Deadwood NX features SRAM's workhorse 1x11-speed NX drivetrain, SRAM Level hydraulic brakes, a RockShox Monarch RT3 Debonair rear shock, and a RockShox Recon RL 120mm fork to give you all-terrain prowess when you're out crushing the long trail.
