Salsa Warbird C

The Warbird is built specifically for competitive gravel racing and long-distance endurance events. Its geometry prioritizes stability and control, making it ideal for riders who want to maintain speed over mixed surfaces like fire roads and paved connectors.

This system is engineered to absorb high-frequency chatter from rough gravel, which helps reduce rider fatigue over long distances. While it remains a rigid bike, you will notice less harshness in your hands and back compared to a standard carbon frame.

The frame accommodates tires up to 45mm wide. This clearance gives you plenty of flexibility to choose narrower, faster tires for smooth courses or wider, knobbier options for loose or technical terrain.

No, the Salsa Warbird does not include pedals. You will need to purchase a set of mountain or gravel-specific clipless pedals separately to match your preferred cleat system.

Yes, the frame includes versatile mounting points for hydration and gear. While it is a race-focused platform, these mounts make it capable of handling the extra supplies needed for long-distance endurance rides.

This model is equipped with a 2x Shimano GRX RX820 drivetrain, providing 12 speeds in the rear. This 2x configuration offers a tighter gear range, which is often preferred by racers who want smaller jumps between gears to maintain an optimal cadence.
