SalSacutThroatCF-CARBON-MTB-w/-SHIMANO-XO-AXIS-WIRELESS-SHIFTER-GLOSSYWHITE

The Cutthroat is Salsa’s ultimate companion for endurance gravel riding and bikepacking adventures, blending race-ready efficiency with rugged versatility to tackle everything from technical trails to multi-day expeditions. Engineered for those chasing both speed records and serene escapes into remote landscapes, this carbon machine combines lightweight performance with thoughtful design details that prioritize both rider comfort and gear management on long-distance journeys.

At its core lies a high-modulus v2 carbon frame paired with a Deluxe Carbon Fork—engineered to absorb road chatter while maintaining responsive handling over demanding terrain. A stable 69-degree head tube angle ensures confidence-inspiring control on winding descents or loaded climbs, while Salsa’s Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System smooths out rough surfaces for all-day comfort without sacrificing pedaling efficiency. The Deluxe Fork’s Three-Pack mounts provide secure attachment points for racks, bottles, or tools, complemented by internal dynamo routing that keeps your setup clean even during multi-week trips.

Designed for adventure-ready performance, the Cutthroat accommodates 29×2.4” tires within its clearance while featuring boost spacing front and rear for improved stability on loose surfaces. Flat-mount brakes and integrated cable routing enhance durability and aesthetics whether you’re racing gravel grinders or exploring backcountry singletrack. Compatibility with dropper posts ensures agile handling on steep descents paired with SRAM’s X0 Eagle AXS drivetrain—delivering flawless shifting across 12 gears—and WTB’s lightweight carbon wheels that cut through fatigue on extended rides.

Why Cutthroat Stands Out:

Whether you’re chasing podium finishes at gravel events or planning a self-supported transcontinental odyssey like the Tour Divide Challenge, the Cutthroat’s balanced geometry adapts seamlessly to your needs. Its dropper post compatibility caters to riders tackling steep descents after grueling climbs, while SRAM’s precision components ensure reliability under heavy loads or high speeds. Salsa’s size chart ensures optimal fit across rider heights:

From dawn-to-dusk epics to weekend escapes through varied terrain—the Cutthroat delivers uncompromising performance where every mile matters.
