Salsa El Mariachi 3 (2015)

The 2015 Salsa El Mariachi 3 is a mid-range cross-country mountain bike. Kitted out with mostly Shimano parts, including a Deore/XT drivetrain, the sure-stopping M445 hydraulic disc brakes, and Deore hubs. The last are laced with DT Swiss spokes to very tough Sun Inferno rims, then wrapped inside the bitey, fast-rolling Schwalbe Rapid Rob treads. The chromoly frame is paired with a Rock Shox fork for a smooth, resilient ride. Racers will appreciate the high gearing and efficient rear end; paired with the big 29er wheels, the El Mariachi can fly.
A very good cross-country hardtail.
