The buddy I typically ride with has a Cutty and loves it; that said, it doesn’t seem like it’s built for speed on smoother stuff. There are some great options on that Bikepacking list—the Rodeo Labs bikes are really nice, and pretty great everywhere. I know a lot of happy Flaanimal owners.
I’ll also plug the Fairlight Secan; I’m pretty happy with it so far everywhere from road to rooty singletrack. Official clearance for 1x is 700x50 and 650x58, but that seems conservative. A Wilde Earth Ship might also be worth considering, and sits a bit more on the bikepacking side. Also the Lauf Seigla seems quick and can fit a ton of tire.
