MY26 Fargo Frameset - 29"

Salsa MY26 Fargo Frameset - 29" is a steel drop-bar mountain bike frameset built for riders who want one platform that can be tuned for bikepacking, mixed-surface exploration, and loaded off-road riding. With broad wheel and drivetrain compatibility plus purpose-built cargo and rack mounts, the Fargo stays adaptable as routes, gear lists, and riding styles change.

Build flexibility and ride-ready details

1. Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts - Supports flat-mount brakes and opens up drivetrain choices including geared setups, single speed, and belt drive for long-term durability and simplified maintenance
2. High-volume 29er capability - Clears up to 29 x 3.0" tires (no fenders) for added traction and comfort on rough terrain; XS frames clear up to 29 x 2.6"
3. Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork - Designed for real-world carrying capacity with two sets of Three-Pack mounts, lowrider rack mounts, and abrasion-resistant plates for protection where bags and straps contact the fork
4. Internal dynamo routing (fork) - Cleaner, more protected cable management for riders running dynamo-powered lighting on long or remote routes
5. Triple-butted CroMoly steel frame - A proven material choice for loaded riding, prioritizing durability and serviceability for travel and extended backcountry use
6. Wheel size versatility - Compatible with 27.5+, 29, or 29+ wheels/tires to tune rollover, traction, and handling for the terrain (XS: up to 29 x 2.6")

With dedicated rear rack mounts (the Salsa Alternator Plus Rack is commonly paired), the MY26 Salsa Fargo frameset is a strong choice for riders who want a modern steel bikepacking frame and fork that can be reconfigured instead of replaced.
