Description
Engineered for serious gravel racing enthusiasts seeking both speed and comfort over mixed terrain, Salsa’s Warbird Carbon Gravel Bike delivers race-proven performance refined through years of competition in elite gravel events. Crafted from high-modulus carbon fiber with geometry optimized for aggressive riding positions, this machine balances lightweight responsiveness with stability on demanding off-road trails while maintaining agility on pavement transitions.
The Warbird’s standout feature is its Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System (VRS), engineered to combat fatigue by absorbing micro-vibrations caused by rough surfaces—ideal for endurance riders tackling multi-hour adventures or competitive events like Dirty Kanza or Unbound Gravel. Paired with a Waxwing carbon fork featuring mid-blade eyelets (compatible with an optional Rack-Lock seat collar), Three-Pack mounts, fender provisions, and integrated dynamo routing, this bike excels at carrying gear without sacrificing aerodynamics or handling precision.
Versatility defines its design: riders can choose between 700c wheels with up to 45mm tires or wider 650b setups accommodating up to 51mm tires—making it equally adept at fast pavement sprints or loose dirt climbs. Internal cable routing keeps components clean while protecting against debris, and dropper post compatibility adds ergonomic control during steep descents or technical sections.
With support for mechanical/electronic drivetrains across single-chainring (1x) or double-ring (2x) configurations, the Warbird adapts seamlessly to your preferred setup—whether chasing speed on smooth gravel loops or navigating rugged backcountry routes.
Sized from 49cm (4’8”–5’2”) up to 61cm (6’3”+), its frame dimensions ensure proper fit across rider heights while maintaining competitive geometry proportions. This pre-owned model retains nearly new condition after CPSC testing use—offering top-tier gravel performance at an accessible price point for riders prioritizing durability over new-bike costs.
