I really like the Cutthroat/Fargo. These bikes are also versatile as you can use it for touring, gravel, casual riding or mild single track. It's a tough bike but it's still light enough to not be a burden.
Totally agree. I initially dismissed it because... mountain bike... but when I saw how light it was it got much more appealing.
