Salsa Cutthroat in Dusty Orange with Apex AXS Transmission
Salsa Cycles just announced an all new color and build kit for its Tour Divide bike, Cutthroat. The Cutthroat C Apex AXS is the adventure bike brand’s drop-bar 29er mountain bike. Designed specifically for the Tour Divide, Cutthroat utilizes Salsa’s Class 5 VRS (vibration reduction system) for all-day comfort in the saddle. The SRAM Apex AXS Transmission drivetrain delivers precise shifts, and the 1 x 12 gearing gives you plenty of range to work with whether you’re grinding up a mountain pass or making up time with a tailwind. All in a new color that mimics the dirt found in the desert southwest and beyond. See more at Salsa.
We were the first online media outlet to get our hands on a Cutthroat and have a multitude of reviews of the platform, which you can see below.
