Thre new Salsa Notch is a 180mm travel eMTB powered by a Bosch CX motor.
Lightest full-power eMTB tested at 49 lb
All-carbon frame
Ultra-adaptable platform with adjustable travel
Excellent suspension (ZEB/Vivid Air combo)
Powerful and consistent brakes (220mm rotors)
Bosch Performance CX motor with 100Nm
Impressive climbing range (1,700m on a charge)
Stiff and stable chassis
Long wheelbase for stability
Customizable motor settings via Flow app (Dynamic and AUTO)
Comfortable cockpit with in-house carbon bars
Stock tires (Teravail Kessel) prone to punctures
Cassette unthreading issue due to freehub bearing migration
Brakes too powerful for lighter rider (may cause over-the-bars)
Large rotors cause occasional brake rub

| 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.
