Go anywhere machine
Yes , I recommend this product
I’ve been enjoying my Salsa Cutthroat for about 4 months now, and hopefully many more to come. 5/5 ease of tubeless setup with the stock terravail 2.2” tires and the provided tubeless valves. I was able to seat it at home with a floor pump. Initially I was worried I should have ordered a 56, as the 54 felt a little to small. It came stock with a 350mm seat post (guide post) but I swapped it out with the 400mm guide with 18mm offset and it that really seemed to do the fit trick. Stock gearing is pretty good, although I’ll probably get a smaller chainring for riding loaded in the mountains. Overall the cutthroat remains a capable touring machine.

The queen of gravel
Yes , I recommend this product
The queen of gravel. Amazing ride, great geometry, responsive, and the 2.2 tires give even a 200lbs+ rides plenty of room to adjust pressure for even a smoother ride depending on terrain. I thought that 1x11 would be limiting, yet still able to get up 10-12% grade. Going steeper? Take your mountain bike :-). Great bike for pure gravel or 50/50 pavement/dirt rides from the house with many more options than our road bikes gave us. Loving it, thanks Salsa and REI!
