Salsa Warbird Carbon Gravel Bike

The frame is designed to accommodate tires up to 45mm wide. This clearance provides a good balance between handling rough gravel and maintaining efficiency on smoother sections.

The system uses specifically shaped seatstays to allow for subtle vertical flex, which helps dampen road chatter and high-frequency vibrations. You will notice less fatigue in your hands and lower back during long, rough rides compared to a standard rigid carbon frame.

While it is optimized for gravel racing, the Warbird is highly versatile. It features multiple mounting points for bottles and gear, making it a capable choice for multi-day adventures or fast-and-light bikepacking setups.

No, the Salsa Warbird C does not ship with pedals. You will need to purchase a set of gravel or mountain bike pedals separately to match your preferred cleat system.

This build is equipped with a Shimano GRX RX820 2x12 drivetrain. The 2x setup offers a wide gear range, making it an excellent choice for riders who tackle varied terrain and want smaller jumps between gears.

Yes, the frame includes rack mounts, allowing you to easily attach a rear rack for commuting or carrying extra gear on longer trips.
