Salsa Rustler Full Carbon Shimano XT Trail Mountain Bike - Demo Deal!
Unleash your inner trailblazer with the Salsa Rustler Full Carbon Shimano XT, Boulder County’s ultimate trail-taming machine! This store demo is in near-pristine, barely-ridden condition, with a minor scratch on the driveside rear chainstay’s stunning purple paint from a brush with a brick wall—think of it as a battle scar that adds character without compromising performance.
The Rustler is built for riders who carve trails with flair. Its responsive trail geometry and 27.5" wheels turn every rock, root, and berm into a playground. With a lightweight carbon frame, Split Pivot suspension delivering 130mm of efficient travel, and a 150mm front fork, this bike stays plush and active under braking while offering unwavering support.
Flip the rear Flip chip to tweak the head tube angle and bottom bracket height to match your style or terrain, paired with a nimble 425mm chainstay for the liveliest ride in Salsa’s lineup. The low top tube and compact suspension design maximize standover clearance and encourage dynamic body English on the trail. A 66-degree head tube angle and short stem/long top tube combo ensure confident descents and agile handling at any speed.
Stay hydrated with a full-size bottle cage mount inside the front triangle, or go pack-free with the Anything Bracket for pure singletrack freedom. Spec’d with 27.5 x 2.6" tires, the Rustler can handle anything from 2.3" to 2.8" for ultimate versatility.
Grab this barely-ridden beauty at a steal and let the Rustler ignite your trail adventures!
