The Salsa Woodsmoke possesses a unique look, and unique performance. Barney puts it to the test to see how this 29er plusser handles on the trail

Salsa's 29er with plus sized wheels and clever rear dropouts bucks is a bit of a head scratcher. - Mtbr.com

The new Salsa Woodsmoke is aimed to merge 'trail ninja' and 'adventure rig'. We took the 29+ GX1 on a 1,000km trip in Kyrgyzstan to see how it performs...
The short chainstays and slack head angle turn 29+ into an unbelievably spritely, dare I say ‘flickable’ bike.
A huge frame triangle for a cavernous frame bag.
A good component spec, overall.
Downtube bottle bosses, although this should be a standard.
Allen wrench rear thru-axle is a nice touch.
Alternator 2 Dropouts provide a lot of options.
The playful geometry sacrifices a little bit of balance and poise on steep technical climbs, especially when loaded.
I’m not so sure about the wheels; I’ll update this post should I dig deeper, but unlike Scrapers, they did burp air a couple times.
The pressfit bottom bracket started squeaking intermittently after a couple weeks… usually when temperatures dropped or after a long pedal.
I had heel clearance issues with the non drive side chain stay; although, it’s worth noting I ride slightly duck-footed (size 10 shoe).
With 29+, a full-sized bottle doesn’t work on the underside of the downtube… when the fork engages, the tire rubs the bottle.

The elevated driveside chainstay keeps the rear end super short (409-417mm in 29+ mode), which gives the bike its mind-bending riding characteristics.
