Fargo’s triple-butted steel tubing is supportive and comfortable, yet durable enough to ride singletrack in Montana or strap to a bus in Argentina. The Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork offers compliance, cargo capacity, and abrasion-resistant plates to reduce wear and tear. Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts open up more build options than ever before. Fargo’s smooth ride and endless adaptability make this steel bikepacking frame one of the finest options out there. Build it up and wander.
