Salsa Cycles

Salsa Cycles is an American bicycle brand based in Bloomington, Minnesota.

The Salsa brand is widely recognized by winter biking enthusiasts in cold climates.

[6] In 1997, the brand was acquired by Minnesota-based Quality Bicycle Products, which transitioned from a wholesale bike-parts distributor to a bike-brand conglomerate, with a focus on biking in climates with cold winters.

[3] Salsa has bike frames made in Asia out of aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium,[7] and chromoly steel.

The "alternator dropout" allows for a bike to be easily converted from a rear derailleur to a single speed, permits the use of several different hub standards, and allows for an adjustable wheelbase.
