Salsa Fargo GRX 610 1X Brass

Information
Reviews

Whether you dream of local overnighters or round-the-world epics, Fargo GRX 610 can help bring it to life. Its triple-butted steel frame and Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork create a comfortable-yet-durable ride that’s engineered for loaded touring on mixed terrain. Adjustable Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts let you tinker with wheelbase and ride feel, and cargo mounts galore give you the freedom to roam farther between resupplies. Shimano’s GRX 610 1 x 12 drivetrain is a smooth-shifting system with more enough gear range for climbing the Cordillera Blanca or capitalizing on tailwinds in Croatia. Fargo’s ride quality and adaptability make it a smart choice for a steel bikepacking bike — we know you’ll go far together.

Triple Butted CroMoly Tubeset

Salsa-designed, triple-butted, and frame size-specific seamless CroMoly tubing

Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork

With trail-taming compliance and abrasion-resistant plates in high-wear areas, the Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork is designed for the rigors of rides that cover multiple road surfaces in unpredictable conditions

Fargo Geometry

Designed as a drop bar mountain bike, optimized for fit with the Salsa Cowchipper or Woodchipper handlebars. Capable of handling everything from technical singletrack trails, two-track, gravel, and the occasional paved road. Predictable handling with or without a load. The bike to ride for multiple-surface excursions

Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts

Our renowned Alternator rear dropout grants you ultimate drivetrain versatility. Go geared or single speed, QR or thru-axle, freehub, Rohloff, or Gates Belt Drive. Fargo comes equipped with a Boost-spaced thru-axle plates that are compatible with flat-mount brakes and ready for a rack and fenders. Different plates may be required for other drivetrain setups. Alternator also lets you adjust your wheelbase: set them all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase that results in quick and nimble handling or set them back for more stability.

Belt Drive Compatible

Tested and certified for belt drive use

Multiple Wheelsize Versatility

The Fargo frame can accommodate 27.5+, 29″, 29+ wheels and tires (29+ only compatible with sizes Small to X-large). This makes for a highly capable bike that’s ready for any endeavor on just about any terrain.

Cargo-friendly

Designed for use with Salsa Alternator Plus Rack 135/142/148 in the rear. The fork is compatible with Salsa Down Under Rack or Anything Cage HD using the Three-Pack mounts.
