Salsa Cycles | 2024 Rangefinder Advent X 29

Your dependable partner for long days on the trail.

The Salsa Rangefinder Advent X 29 is a trail-ready hardtail designed for riders who want approachable handling, dependable components, and confidence across everything from local singletrack loops to off-road adventures further from home.

Built around Salsa’s proven Rangefinder aluminum platform, the 2024 Rangefinder Advent X 29 combines stable trail geometry, a 120mm suspension fork, wide 29er tires, and a microSHIFT Advent X 1x10 drivetrain for predictable trail performance and simplified operation. Unlike aggressive race-focused hardtails, the Rangefinder prioritizes confidence, comfort, and versatility for riders developing skills or simply looking for a capable and fun trail companion.
