2025 Salsa Spearfish C Review: Deluxe Revamp

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...

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • This particular build isn’t bikepacking-focused

  • Expensive

  • Press-fit bottom bracket

  • Limited tire clearance

Review: Salsa's New Spearfish - The Bright Green Race Machine

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.

Highs
  • Well balanced climbing character

  • Lively and capable descender

  • Feels speedy without needing lockouts

  • Overwhelming number of bottle bosses

Lows
  • Stock build isn't very light

  • Steep seat angle will be a tricky fit for traditional XC folks

  • Linkage bolts have awkward access
