About this product
The Salsa Cutthroat Carbon Gravel Bike is a 52cm adventure-ready bicycle featuring a lightweight carbon fiber frame. It's equipped with a SRAM Apex 1 11-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, and 700C tubeless tires. Designed for gravel and adventure cycling, it has a drop bar handlebar and no suspension. This custom-built model in silver is suitable for unisex adults seeking a capable off-road machine.
Our take
The Salsa Cutthroat Carbon Gravel Bike appears to be a robust option for serious adventure riders. A carbon fiber frame at 52cm suggests a light and responsive ride, which is ideal for long distances and varied terrain. The SRAM Apex 1 11-speed system offers reliable shifting, and the hydraulic disc brakes are a definite plus for confident stopping power in all conditions, especially compared to mechanical. With 700C tubeless tires, you're set for optimal traction and puncture resistance. It's a purpose-built machine for gravel and bikepacking, and while a custom build means attention to detail, the lack of suspension means you'll feel more of the road.
