Salsa Fargo Apex AXS

The original and still the best drop bar adventure bike on the market. Often copied, never matched, the Fargo manages to combine all day comfort with offroad capability and control.

The New upgraded AXS Transmission features a UDH full mount rear derailleur that sandwiches both side of the dropout, ensuring the derailleur shrugs off impacts and keeps shifting mile and mile afer mile ! 

Fargo Apex S1000 AXS Transmission is built for all your mixed-terrain adventures, whether you're embarking on an evening escape or an open-ended journey. Its triple-butted steel frame and Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork combine for a smooth ride feel that's comfortable enough for all-day riding and durable enough for the unexpected. Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts give you ample options for drivetrain, wheel and tire size, and wheelbase. Frame and fork cargo mounts let you load up on supplies for far-and-wide wandering. The SRAM Apex - S1000 AXS Transmission drivetrain ensures fast, accurate shifts even while pedaling under load, making it easier and smoother to climb mountain passes with a month's worth of gear. Fargo's comfort, versatility, and durability make it one of the best steel bikepacking bike options out there.
