Conquer Every Gravel Challenge with the Salsa Warbird Carbon

Forged in the crucible of America’s premier gravel races, the Warbird Carbon delivers championship-proven performance for endurance athletes and adventure seekers. This elite gravel bike combines cutting-edge engineering with versatile functionality to dominate rugged terrain while minimizing fatigue on epic rides.

Precision Crafted for Uncompromising Performance

• Race-Tuned Carbon Frame: High-modulus construction features Class 5 Vibration Reduction System (VRS) that absorbs micro-impacts, letting you maintain speed through washboard sections during marathon gravel events.
• Adventure-Ready Versatility: Rack-Lock compatible seat collar (sold separately) and multiple mounting points support hydration systems, bikepacking gear, and fenders – perfect for multi-day expeditions or competitive ultra-distance racing.
• Adaptive Wheel System: Switch between 700c (45mm max) or 650b (51mm max) tubeless-ready tires to optimize traction for varying conditions from dry Midwest gravel to muddy forest tracks.

Premium Components for Elite Control

The Waxwing Deluxe carbon fork integrates dynamo lighting routing and flat-mount brakes while accommodating cargo loads. SRAM Force AXS electronic shifting delivers instantaneous gear changes across its wide-range 43/30T crankset and 10-36T cassette. DT Swiss 370 hubs paired with lightweight WTB CZR carbon rims create a responsive yet stable platform across technical sections.

Rider-First Geometry & Sizing

Whether you’re training for Unbound Gravel or exploring remote backcountry routes, the Warbird’s optimized contact points – including Cowbell Carbon handlebars and Guide Carbon seatpost – provide all-day comfort without sacrificing aggressive positioning. Electronic drivetrain compatibility ensures future upgrades while internal cable routing maintains clean aesthetics through dust storms and river crossings.
