2019 Salsa FARGO

Classic Drop Bar 29er

Fargo goes wide trail with 29 x 2.6” tires. As I mentioned in my Timberjack Ti build, I’ve been especially impressed with this tire size for both trail riding and dirt road touring. It offers a great blend of rollover, traction, and bump absorption, all the while maintaining a manageable size for speed and handling. The 2019 Fargo also gets the new Firestarter 110 fork, which now has boost spacing, dual sets of Three-Pack mounts on each fork leg, low rider mounts, and internal dynamo hub wire routing. The 2019 Salsa Fargo is available with an Apex drivetrain for $2,499 (dark green) or a Tiagra 2x for $1,999 (orange or blue). Both feature Woodchipper handlebars and Maxxis Ikon 2.6″ tires.

2019 Salsa CUTTHROAT

Tour Divide Race Bike

The 2019 Cutthroat gets an all new build kit making four complete models. Salsa claims the new front-suspension version was inspired by engineer Sean Mailen’s excellent Cutthroat ride in the 2017 Trans North Georgia. The 2019 Salsa Cutthroat Apex 1 SUS gets Maxxis Ikon 2.2 tires, Cowchipper handlebars, and a RockShox Reba RL 100mm fork for $2,899. Other models include the teal/sunrise fade Cutthroat Force 1 for $4,499, the red/blue Rival 1 for $3,499, and the black Apex 1 model for $2,699. It’s also available as a frameset in black for $1,999.
