Tour Divide Inspired: Fresh Cutthroat

A matte black Cutthroat bike with metallic purple and blue decals. Text reads: Gravel since the beginning. Cutthroat.

What started as an idea on the legendary Tour Divide has evolved into a svelte carbon bikepacking and endurance race machine. Cutthroat is back with more color and build options so you can find the one that suits your style.

We designed Cutthroat for stability on gravel roads, doubletrack, singletrack, especially when loaded down. Our drop-bar mountain bike geometry and Class 5™ VRS (Vibration Reduction System), keep the ride comfortable, whether you’re out for a weekend spin or riding into the night to reach the next checkpoint.

The Cutthroat downtube features two sets of Three-Pack bottle boss mounts.

To keep you supplied on extended rides, Cutthroat comes equipped with on-bike storage for extra bottles, ride essentials, and the gear you need for multi-day pushes or casual campouts.

Already dreaming about your next bikepacking adventure? Cutthroat is available at your local Salsa Authorized Retailer and through our Adventure At Your Doorstep program.

Finally, a note on availability: the bike industry is in the midst of an unprecedented bike boom. People are looking for responsible ways to get outside during the pandemic and we are thankful that the bicycle has been an outlet for so many during this time. While Salsa is bringing in more bikes than ever, there are simply not enough to satisfy the total need at the moment due to extraordinary demand, increased lead times for components, factory capacity, and shipping container shortages. But there are bikes out there! To help you find the one you want, we’ve put together some resources for tracking down the Salsa that will take you on your next Adventure by Bike: https://salsacycles.com/culture/finding_a_salsa_bike
