Salsa Fargo Apex S1000 AXS Transmission Description:

The Salsa Fargo Apex S1000 AXS Transmission was developed to grant access to riders looking for the ultimate multi-terrain bikepacking rig equipped with capable 29″ wheels and the durable, responsive nature of SRAM’s Apex S1000 electronic gravel drivetrain. A sturdy, triple-butted chromoly frameset provides a smooth ride whether tackling off-road surfaces or harsh roads. Adjustable Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts allow Fargo’s wheelbase to be tweaked to optimize the handling and ride quality to suit a rider’s needs and preferences. Capable drop bar mountain bike geometry has been optimized for handlebars featuring drop flare, instilling confidence in all bar positions when traversing singletrack, gravel, and the occasional paved section. In front, a Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe Fork tames-trail with ultra-smooth compliance, and accommodates cargo hauling with dual three-pack mounts and bolt-on low-rider rack mounts. Farther back, Fargo encourages riders to “take it all with them,” by encouraging frame-mounted accessories with direct-mount frame mounts on the seat tube and both sides of the downtube, or for riders who prefer frame bags, ample room within the frame triangle for your choice of loop-attached cargo bag. When a bike is built savvy enough to go anywhere, and act at a moment’s notice, it needs a drivetrain to match; SRAM’s hybridized Apex S1000 1 x 12 speed electronic transmission drivetrain provides responsive, tactile shifting through a capable range with an ultimate level of durability thanks to the direct-mount attachment of SRAM’s UDH derailleur hanger interface. When you know your next adventure is intended for you and your bike, and there’s no guarantee on where you’re going or how long it will take to get there, enlist Salsa Fargo as your best bet for success.
