Salsa Warbird C Carbon Gravel Frameset Description:

The Salsa Warbird C Carbon Gravel Frameset was built on a long-standing foundation of gravel history, incorporating experience gained through Salsa’s years pioneering the gravel scene and outfitting riders for the nation’s premier gravel events. High Modulus carbon fiber construction is built using Interior Junction Control Molding Technology within the main front triangle of Warbird C frames, allowing for precise control of wall thickness and inner wall smoothness, a step that increases strength in critical zones, ensuring premium quality and an ultimate ride. Warbird represents the latest iteration of Salsa’s industry-leading gravel racing geometry, placing riders in a position that aptly handles all manner of gravel and gravel-adjacent terrain while also drastically reducing fatigue and improving handling. Water bottle storage within the frame allows for the mounting of two water bottle cages, with sizes larger than 56cm receiving an added water bottle storage mount position within the frame. Additional mounting bosses found on the top tube enable the mounting of yet another water bottle cage or a direct-mount bag/trunk. The accompanying Waxwing fork features 12 x 100mm thru-axle compatibility, providing true tracking, and flat mount brake compatibility for easy setup. Waxwing forks add an incredible array of mounting bolts, including three-pack mounts for additional hydration storage or the mounting of various cargo or light accessories. Dual wheel size compatibility enables true customization, allowing riders to install their choice of either 700c or 650b wheels with generous clearance up to 45mm for 700c wheels and 2.0″ for 650b. Fender mounts for both front and rear, as well as rear rack compatibility (when paired with Salsa Rack-Lock seat collars) guarantee all your bases are covered on your next gravel expedition no matter the length or conditions.
