SALSA CYCLES CUTTHROAT C GRX 810 2X | Carbon Bikepacking Bike Built for Extreme Riding
A drop-bar MTB born for continuous riding, from ultra-endurance races to endless journeys.
Multi-day rides. Sections with few resupply points. Gravel roads with no end in sight. The SALSA CYCLES CUTTHROAT C GRX 810 2X is a bikepacking bike developed for such harsh environments.
Refined for the "Tour Divide," one of the world's leading ultra-endurance races spanning the length of America, its design expertly combines a lightweight carbon frame with high off-road capability and long-distance comfort.
The Cutthroat Carbon frame, equipped with Class 5™ VRS, absorbs road vibrations without compromising pedaling efficiency. This reduces strain on the body even after long hours in the saddle, proving its worth over longer distances.
The drop-bar MTB geometry, featuring a 69° head angle and 445mm chainstays, provides excellent stability on rough gravel, forest roads, and singletrack. Furthermore, generous clearance for tires up to 29x2.4 inches ensures confident riding even when fully loaded.
The Shimano GRX 810 2× drivetrain offers a wide gear range suitable for everything from high-speed cruising on flat terrain to steep climbs. It delivers the reliability and ease of maintenance required for long tours and adventure races.

The CUTTHROAT is more accurately described as a "drop-bar MTB for long distances" rather than a gravel bike.
This GRX 810 2× specification, in particular, is recommended for those planning long tours or international expeditions. It offers the maintainability and reliability of mechanical shifting, and its wide gear range allows it to flexibly handle everything from flat roads to steep forest trails.
Handling remains natural even when loaded, and the 29x2.4-inch tires provide a high sense of security. In situations where you're riding on rough terrain for hours, the comfort of the Class 5™ VRS becomes a major asset.
This is a bike we recommend not only for race-oriented riders but also for those whose objective is the long journey itself.
