Thre new Salsa Notch is a 180mm travel eMTB powered by a Bosch CX motor.
Lightweight sub-50lb full-power eMTB
Excellent suspension performance on climbs and descents
Powerful and consistent brakes with 220mm rotors and heat sink
Bosch Performance CX motor with tunable power delivery
Adaptable geometry with adjustable travel range
Comfortable fit for 5'9" rider despite long reach
Stock Teravail Kessel tires prone to punctures
Brakes too powerful for lighter rider; brake rub due to large rotors
Cassette unthreading issue caused by freehub bearing failure
High price (12,500 CAD for top model)
Freehub not robust enough for motor torque

| The Salsa Notch is a solid aggressive enduro eMTB, but will not be the most inspiring bike for riders who don’t have gravity-fed descents.
