Bringing speed to the mixed-surface, ultra-endurance bikepacking race scene, the Salsa Cutthroat Carbon 3 bike is an evolutionary leap in all-road bikes, designed to obliterate long-distance records.
Features
  • The Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System promotes vertical compliance by allowing the tall, thin seatstays to "flex" outward on impact
  • Horizontally oriented chainstays resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end
  • The seatstays and chainstays lack bridges, furthering the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility
  • Rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking while allowing the seatstays to provide incredible compliance
  • Interior molds at all the main front triangle junctions allow for precise control of wall thickness, reducing voids and wrinkles in critical high-stress zones
  • Full carbon fork with a tapered steerer tube provides confidence-inspiring tracking through the tough stuff
  • Fits 29 x 2.4 in. tires, plus the mud you are likely to encounter in multi-day endurance races
  • 15 x 100mm thru-axle and Salsa-designed carbon layup for frame matching compliance
  • 74mm post-mount style brake mount; 160 to 200mm disc brake rotor compatible
  • Cutthroat geometry—Salsa learned from their tried-and-true drop-bar mountain bike geometry and updated it for speed
  • 445mm chainstays get you up and over technical singletrack, doubletrack, gravel and long, desolate paved roads quickly, while preserving the comfort endurance riders need
  • Tour Divide-driven features—designed for maximum frame bag volume on every size (frame bag sold separately)
  • Internal wire routing for dynamo hub lighting systems (not included) built into the carbon fork
  • Direct-mount top-tube bag and frame-designed hydration routing take the ease of eating and drinking while riding to a whole new level
  • Compatible with all 1x and 2x mountain cranks, both GXP and 24mm spindle type
  • Many options for carrying water bottles; S frame can carry up to 4 bottles (2 on the fork via Three-Pack mounts), while M, L and XL frames have room for 5
  • Designed for use with most rear racks (not included) via hidden seatstay mounts and the Salsa Rack-Lock
