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.

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.
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.
