Rangefinder Deore 12 27.5+ is here to help you find your new favorite trail, with a features list that makes it one of the best 27.5 hardtail trail bike options for the money.
Salsa's stable trail geometry puts you in a comfortable, confident position to take on new terrain and experiences. Rangefinder is a confidence-building trail hardtail built for riders who want to start diskovering their local trail systems, offering geometry and spec designed for the perfect introduction to mountain biking. It opens up singletrack and doubletrack adventures and offers provisions for bikepacking setups so riders can expand their off-road repertoires.
A blend of Salsa's proprietary, top-shelf 6061-T6 double- and triple-butted tubing creates a light, responsive, and durable frame with great trail feel. Rangefinder's long top tube, short stem, and 439mm chainstays provide a stable ride to keep you in control on steep and technical terrain. A 120mm suspension fork and dropper post keep you in control, while nimble 70cm (27.5") wheels accelerate quickly and 7cm (2.8") wide tires deliver awesome grip. Shimano’s Deore 12-speed build kit gives you plenty of range for taking on steep climbs, speedy flats, or anything in between.
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 Salsa's 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 housing improves shifting in poor conditions and increases the time between maintenance intervals.
