Salsa Cycles
Salsa Cycles is an American bicycle manufacturer that makes touring, mountain, and gravel bicycles and components.History
Salsa Cycles was founded by Ross Shafer in 1981 or 1982. Initially he focused on producing bicycle frames and custom stems.
In 1997, the brand was acquired by Quality Bicycle Products.Salsa makes bike frames out of aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, and chromoly steel. They build several bike touring bicycles, fat tire bikes, bikepacking bikes, and gravel bikes, as well as full-suspension mountain bikes and one model of gravel tandem.
Some Salsa frames are equipped with a unique dropout design that Salsa manufactures. The "alternator dropout" allows for a bike to be easily converted from a rear derailleur to a single speed, and allows for an adjustable wheelbase.
