Salsa Cutthroat C Frameset

The Cutthroat is built specifically for long-distance endurance racing and bikepacking. It excels on mixed-terrain routes where you need a balance of efficiency for long gravel stretches and stability for technical, remote trails.

The frame is quite generous for a drop-bar bike. You can fit up to 29 x 3.0-inch tires in the front fork and 29 x 2.4-inch tires in the rear, giving you plenty of options for rougher terrain or added comfort.

Yes, it uses Salsa's Class 5 Vibration Reduction System. This design helps dampen high-frequency vibrations from the road or trail, which significantly reduces rider fatigue on all-day or multi-day rides.

Yes, the frame uses the SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) standard. This makes it easier to find replacement parts and ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern mountain and gravel drivetrains.

Absolutely. The frame comes with integrated mounts specifically designed for bikepacking gear, allowing you to secure bags and accessories directly to the frame without needing messy straps or clamps.

The Cutthroat C frameset is designed for flat-mount disc brakes. This is the current standard for most modern gravel and drop-bar bikes, offering clean integration and reliable stopping power.
