Are trails being over-tamed by full-suspension plus tire bikes such as the Salsa Pony Rustler? Here's our opinion and the full review of the Pony Rustler.
Solid and stable 27.5+ platform that excels on difficult terrain.
Completely dialed Split Pivot suspension design and stiff chassis.
Build kit/value: The high end carbon frame and excellent build kit make the Salsa Pony Rustler GX1 a pretty good value at $4,500.
Gearing is great for light bikepacking, although some might complain that it runs out a bit early for trail riding.
The paint and graphics scheme are really nice.
No downtube bottle bosses; in my opinion, any ‘adventure’ bike should be equipped these… but many don’t.
For ‘bigger’ all-mountain riding the 120/130mm travel might feel a little limiting to some.
