We take extra care to ensure your bike arrives ready to ride. Our meticulous build and testing process takes about 4 business days before your bike is ready to ship.
This attention to detail guarantees that your bike will be easy to assemble on arrival. Please note that most bikes do not come with pedals. To make the most of your new bike right away, be sure to select a pair of pedals when checking out and we will include them with the build!The Salsa Vaya has become a staff favorite because of it's neutral geometry that is relaxed enough for a week long tour, yet still aggressive enough to make that Saturday morning ride with the people from work fun. The Vaya unlike a lot of road bikes doesn''t limit itself to pavement. The larger volume tires and steel frame soak up all the gravel and forest service roads you can throw at it.
The Vaya can be loaded with both front and rear racks. The custom rear dropouts move the rack further back on the bike eliminating the need for a longer wheelbase, which can slow down the handling but still achieve good heel clearance.
Smaller sized (50-52cm) Vaya''s use a 26" wheel while the larger ones use a 700c (54cm ). Salsa uses a smaller wheel to help eliminate toe overlap and still keep the bike handling like the larger ones.
The Vaya 2 upgrades the following over the Vaya 3
- SRAM Apex/X.9 Drivetrain
- Cane Creek 40 Series Headset
- DT Swiss Rims
- Clement USH Tires
