Product description

The Cutthroat C GX Eagle AXS is an exceptionally capable carbon bikepacking bike. Inspired by the long days and mixed terrain of the Tour Divide, we gave it a lightweight carbon frame with our Class 5™ VRS (vibration reduction system) and drop-bar mountain bike geometry for a ride that fights fatigue. We also equipped Cutthroat with rack mounts and plenty of space for bikepacking bags so you can carry your food, water, and shelter with ease. The SRAM Rival - GX AXS Transmission drivetrain delivers smooth, effortless shifting and massive gear range.
