2024 Salsa Fargo Apex 1
Fargo Apex 1 is Salsas drop-bar off-road touring bike built to shatter limits. Ride it on singletrack, gravel, or other places you wouldnt take your standard touring bike. A triple-butted steel frame and huge tire clearance provide cushion on rugged roads. Alternator dropouts allow for any drivetrain you can imagine, and cargo mounts let you carry enough to go days between resupplies. SRAMs Apex 1 drivetrain is a reliable workhorse with the range for many adventures.
Alternator Dropouts
