Video: 2012 Salsa Cycles Spearfish, Horsethief 29er Rundown & Weights, Plus Titanium Mukluk Snow Bike
We took a little grief for our coverage of the new Horsethief at Eurobike, so we met up with Tim Krueger, brand manager for Salsa Cycles, at Interbike’s (windy) outdoor demo to get the facts straight. He also showed us the new titanium Mukluk, their new top model for snow bikes.
We weighed a few of the 29ers, too. See ‘em on the scale after the break…
The Spearfish 2 with X9 group and Stan’s NoTubes Arch rims on Formula hubs comes in at 27lbs 2oz (Large).
The top of the line Spearfish 1 comes in at 26lbs 13oz (XL) with an X0/X9 mix, Fox fork and Stan’s NoTubes Arch rims on DT Swiss hubs.
The Horsethief with X9 build, Fox fork and NoTubes Flow wheels comes in at 29lbs 14oz.

It’s spelled Mukluk.
Mukluk, not Mucluc.
Who’s the grouch with the beard?
Thanks, fixed the spelling.
who’s got me lucky charms?
Salsa really offers a lot of bang for the buck!
I feel like the prices on these bikes are being kept a secret. I’d love to hear prices on all the Spearfish models.
Im the grouch with the beard……. Yikes, wasnt aware that I forgot to smile………. Oh, and I am product manager, not brand manager.
Must get Horsethief…that looks like a fun bike, and reasonably priced. No need for carbon for me. Is it me or does it look like they leaned the Mukluk’s rotor up against that rock? Ouch. I want a Mukluk too, or and a La Cruz disc too. Damn salsa – great products!
Why does the Spearfish 1 come with a QR seat collar? Maybe just for the demo, but it has it is the catalog pics as well, and the web site spec says a black Salsa lip lock. Maybe Tim could clarify what the consumer spec will be. (I hope its a red lip lock- the red looks sweet)
The crew at WV Cycling are interested in the Spearfish. Gerry Pflug, sponsored rider has told us about the series in a sentence or two, but I’d love to see one in person, and get more info on it.
