Why Choose Cutthroat?
Compared to standard gravel bikes (avg weight ~13.8 lbs), this Grade B demo model offers:
🔹 Lighter Construction: HM Carbon frame saves ~1.5 lbs vs aluminum competitors
🔹 Superior Protection: Class 5 VRS outperforms basic vibration dampening systems in fatigue reduction tests
🔹 True Adventure Geometry: Longer wheelbase than typical gravel frames provides stability when loaded with camping gear

Condition Note: Previously demonstrated in controlled environments – expect light cosmetic wear but full functionality across all components including Shimano GRX shifting and WTB tubeless tires.
