Confidence-inspiring
Lots of packing space

Ride the Divide, shred singletrack, or race gravel-enduro—the Cutthroat’s got you covered.

Salsa Cycles just announced the fully redesigned, next-level Cutthroat V2. We had a chance to put well over 1,000 miles on one prior to today’s launch for this full review. Find all the details, our ride impressions, and loads of photos here...
Carbon frame and fork continue to be incredibly comfortable, compliant, lightweight, and fast
The lines and aesthetics of the Cutthroat v2 are much more appealing than v1
Continues to be one of the most confident and stable drop-bar 29ers on the market
Nearly unmatched cargo carrying capability
New bolt-on frame pack is very well done
If I had one frame update wish, it’s that the Cutthroat would have a flip chip in the rear dropout, allowing for a shorter or longer chainstay depending on ride and tire choice
For this build, I’d like to see wider rims; for some reason Salsa specced the 22.5mm inner width Spline rims instead of the 25mm. A 27mm IW would be ideal.
