Salsa Cassidy C 29" MTB Enduro Frame Carbon

The Cassidy C Frameset is the foundation of your big-travel bike dreams. Whether you want a bike for occasional park days or you’re a full-on enduro racer, this is the ticket. Our carbon enduro bike frame comes with a Fox Float X2 Factory shock with 165 mm of travel — pair it with a 180 mm fork for a stable ride over unpredictable terrain and features. Cassidy’s geometry and Split Pivot suspension design are a recipe for a planted ride through gnarly root beds, wicked rock gardens and an air of confidence when you’re airing it out. On-bike storage features include a padded tube strap spot, a top tube mount, and full-size bottle capacity to take your rides further. The groundwork is laid — build it up your way.

Split Pivot provides a host of impressive suspension characteristics because the system isolates pedaling forces and braking forces from each other, allowing us to tune and optimize the bike for both independently. The concentric rear axle pivot, in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in excellent bump compliance and pedaling efficiency, smooth and predictable braking throughout travel, and maximum traction

The Split Pivot+ design methodology allows our engineers to optimize a frame for more than one travel class. This means that Cassidy riders can swap control and shock links, in addition to the rear shock and fork, to switch travel to Blackthorn’s 140 mm rear and 160 mm front capability. One frame, multiple bikes

Progressive from start to finish, Cassidy’s leverage rate is tuned for speed. It delivers supple small-bump action early for a smooth ride at high speed; a consistent and supportive feel through the mid-stroke for popping, pumping, and holding up to high-G corners; and continued progression through the end-stroke to provide plenty of support for big hits and recovering from poor line choices
