Preorder

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritized (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or dispatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

With Prelaunch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Preorders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address for the item you are interested in, and we will email you as soon as stock arrives in the system.

Salsa Tributary C Rival GX AXS Trans. SUS 29-inch Carb. Ebike in Black

Season:2024

Brand:Salsa

Code:C1062CHABLK

Tributary C is Salsa's electric rugged-road adventure bike, built to devour big, burly dirt routes.

Tributary's well-balanced gravel geometry, massive tire clearance, and suspension fork mean total comfort and control on sketchy surfaces, even at ebike speeds. The Bosch Performance Line Speed motor empowers riders to tackle demanding bikepacking routes, explore vast networks of forest roads, or add miles to any adventure. Pair all that with Salsa's on-bike cargo features, and Tributary is ready to take riders from their front door to far-out.

The high-modulus carbon fiber frame keeps weight to a minimum and provides a custom-tuned blend of stiffness and compliance where it matters. Salsa's Class 5 VRS (vibration reduction system) design has specially shaped seatstays with a tall, thin, vertically oriented profile that promotes vertical compliance by allowing the seatstays to flex outwards on impacts. The horizontally oriented chainstays work to resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end. The seatstays and chainstays lack bridges, furthering the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility, while a rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking.

Bosch's Performance Line Speed with smart system is a Class 3 motor that delivers electric assist up to 45km/h (28mph). The mid-drive system delivers loads of torque and range, and keeps the motor's weight low and centered on the bike for neutral handling. The Bosch PowerTube 625 battery offers enough range to get lost on your favorite forest roads and is fully encased in the downtube for added stiffness and a clean look. The system is also compatible with the Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender battery (sold separately) for an extra 250Wh of assist.

  • High-modulus carbon fiber frame
  • 120mm suspension fork smooths out rowdy forest roads
