Salsa Warbird C GRX 820 (Burnt Orange) (56cm)

Salsa Warbird C GRX 820 Description:

The Salsa Warbird C GRX 820 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. The High Modulus carbon fiber construction of Warbird’s frame 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 and downtube enable the mounting of additional water bottle cages or direct-mount bags. Warbird C is equipped with a Waxwing carbon fiber fork featuring a 12 x 100mm thru-axle that provides true tracking, and flat mount brake compatibility for easy setup. Waxwing forks also add an incredible array of mounting bolts, including three-pack mounts for additional hydration storage or the mounting of various cargo or light accessories. Total gravel fidelity extends into the cockpit thanks to the equipped Salsa Guide Seatpost, stem, and Salsa cowbell handlebars. Reliable shifting capability is afforded to riders of all levels courtesy of a complete Shimano GRX 2 x 12 mechanical drivetrain.
