Charlie checks out the latest Salsa Spearfish, for 'down country' riding, and a lot of other stuff too. Come on now Charlie, give it back!
The nimble yet stable geometry
The lack of weight
The way it made me feel fizzy and excited inside.

Fox suspension forks, carbon wheels, and an all new aluminum frame.

After 6-months and over 1,500 miles, here's the Salsa Spearfish review. Read how it performs with 29 x 2.6” tires, and how it compares to other 29ers...
Best in class for bikepacking with a massive frame triangle and plenty of mounts
Updated geometry ticks a lot of boxes; it’s quite nimble and handles as well as any trail bike I’ve ridden
Very comfortable during long days of pedaling
A little more XC than other short-travel 29er trail bikes in its class, which some people might appreciate, and others not
Not quite as quick as I expected
Frame is somewhat noisy
SuperBoost hub spacing might limit your choice of wheelsets
Salsa doesn’t offer a build with wide rims and 2.6” tires

Salsa Cycles' 2019 Spearfish is a fast and fun 29er
Mar 2019 · Jason Sumner
Salsa is pushing hard to make a name in the traditional mountain bike space, launching a trifecta of revamped trail chargers, the 29er Spearfish and Horsethief, and 27.5 Rustler. - Mtbr.com
