Salsa gets with the times and back up to speed with the latest version of its Spearfish cross-country bike.
Apr 2025 · By Neil Beltchenko
The Spearfish has been Salsa’s XC-focused bike for more than a decade, and today, they launch the fourth iteration, an all-new short-travel full-suspension platform with adventure at its core. Neil's been pedaling the redesigned 2025 Salsa Spearfish C for a couple months for this full review...
Incredibly inspiring, from technical descents to smooth singletrack
Fleet-footed, with a sense of urgency you’d expect from an XC bike
Those traits usually aren’t mutually exclusive, making for a fast, fun, and capable bike
Huge frame space for two or even three bottles or a large custom frame bag
Colorway and industrial design look stunning
This particular build isn’t bikepacking-focused
Expensive
Press-fit bottom bracket
Limited tire clearance
Apr 2025 · Dario DiGiulio
A brand new, fully modern XC / trail bike that keeps things just the right amount of spicy out on the trail.
Well balanced climbing character
Lively and capable descender
Feels speedy without needing lockouts
Overwhelming number of bottle bosses
Stock build isn't very light
Steep seat angle will be a tricky fit for traditional XC folks
Linkage bolts have awkward access
