Salsa Cycles | 2023 Rangefinder Deore 11 29

Built to make trail riding feel approachable, capable, and seriously fun.

The Salsa Rangefinder Deore 11 29 is a confidence-focused trail hardtail designed for riders looking to progress their mountain biking skills with modern geometry, dependable components, and all-day trail capability.

Built around Salsa’s Rangefinder aluminum frame platform, the 2023 Rangefinder Deore 11 29 combines stable trail geometry, a 120mm air suspension fork, wide 29er tires, and a Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain into a package that feels comfortable on climbs while remaining planted and predictable on descents. Unlike aggressive enduro-focused hardtails, the Rangefinder emphasizes versatility and rider confidence for everything from local singletrack rides to long off-road adventures.
