2021 Salsa Cutthroat Carbon GRX 810

Jul 2021

It might have drop handlebars and knobbly tyres, but the Salsa Cutthroat C GRX 810 is no normal gravel bike and nor is it a mountain bike. Instead, it is a hybrid of the two, designed to tackle the demanding ultra-adventure race, the Tour Divide. While that may seem niche, I found it incredibly capable and a huge amount of fun to ride.

Salsa Cutthroat V2 Review + Direct Mount Frame Bag

Oct 2019 · Logan Watts

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...

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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.
