Salsa Warbird C Force AXS

This bike is purpose-built for competitive gravel racing. Its geometry and high-modulus carbon frame are optimized for speed and stability on loose, unpredictable surfaces, though it handles paved roads and fire roads with equal efficiency.

The system is designed to introduce a controlled amount of vertical compliance in the rear triangle. You will notice it most on chatter-heavy gravel or washboard sections, where it helps mute high-frequency vibrations that typically cause rider fatigue over long distances.

The Warbird C Force AXS accommodates tires up to 45mm wide. This clearance allows you to choose wider, higher-volume rubber for extra comfort and traction on rougher courses without sacrificing the bike's race-ready handling.

Yes, it is well-equipped for endurance riding. The frame features extensive mounting points for bottles, bags, and racks, making it easy to carry the extra gear and hydration needed for long-distance gravel events.

This is a 2x12 electronic groupset, which provides precise, reliable shifting at the touch of a button. The 2x configuration offers a wider gear range compared to 1x setups, which is a significant advantage if your local gravel routes include steep climbs or long, fast descents.

Yes, the bike comes with tubeless-ready tires. We highly recommend setting them up tubeless before your first ride to take full advantage of the lower tire pressures and flat protection that gravel riding requires.
