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.

Salsa Cycles Tributary E-Bike Review: A Great Documentary Tool

Two of our contributors, Spencer Harding and Jarrod Bunk, spent some time on the new Salsa Cycles Tributary gravel e-bike earlier this spring. Each used the bike to help transport themselves and camera gear while photographing various cycling events where a car would have otherwise been used. Today, we look at their first impressions and some details from Salsa‘s lineup of new 2024 e-bikes.

Salsa’s 2024 Fargo Has a New Color

The almighty Salsa Fargo stayed steadfast in its part spec and price for 2024 but received a new color. This golden yellow is sure to pop with some bags and racks strapped to it. The Fargo is Salsa’s tried and true touring bike with a supple steel frame, a cargo fork (with all sorts of mounts), an upright riding position, lots of standover, 29+ tire clearance (on size small-xlarge), belt drive compatibility, and a 1x drivetrain. All in a new golden color for $2,599. See more at Salsa.

Semi-Supported and Ultra Rad: The 2022 Salsa Ochoco Overlander

Fresh pulls of espresso waltz through a cold September morning, dancing alongside a particular brand of nervous excitement. It’s a certain hum I’ve come to understand as unique to the start of bikepacking trips and the suckers who choose such endeavors as their vacation. Strangers who will become good friends in a few short miles clear the frogs from their throats to answer early morning queries about their hometowns, bike set-ups, and handlebar tchotchkes over hot breakfast burritos and steamy lattes slung by Autobahn Coffee as we all wait for the start of the Salsa Cycles Ochoco Overlander.

Spotted at The Cub House: CJ’s Salsa Ala Carte Commuter Conversion with White Industries

While we love our share of vintage mountain bike builds, dressed with period-correct components, and embrace the patina that has been rubbed in over the decades, there’s something to the resto-mod style of vintage builds. Baskets, racks, modern bars, and the like all add to a bike’s longevity and encourage its use. Plus, a vintage mountain bike just oozes cool and generally is cheaper to build up from a parts bin than buying something brand new. On my last trip to Los Angeles, I was hanging out at The Cub House, avoiding the rain, when Simon, their mechanic, showed me a customer’s bike that rolled in for some TLC, and I had to document it…
