For 2019 Salsa introduces the 4th generation of the
original gravel race bike, the Warbird. The
2019 Warbird Carbon is the most capable version they have produced to date with updated Class V rear stays to soak up the bumps while providing excellent mud clearance for those rainy spring Midwest gravel events. Warbird Carbon bikes now have clearance for 700c x 45 or 650b x 54 (27.5x2.1)
The new
2019 Salsa Warbird Carbon geometry expands the sizing to 7 sizes starting at 49cm to 61cm to fit a wider range of riders that previous models with crank, stem and handlebar sizing optimized for each size of the
Warbird.For longer gravel races and gravel bikepacking, the
2019 Salsa Warbird now includes 3-pack mounts on the fork legs, mid-blade mounts, toptube bag mount and is rear rack compatible using a
Salsa RackLock seat collar. Even with all of the gear mounts having enough battery power for multiday trips can be a challenge, you now have the option with the new
Salsa Waxwing carbon fork to use a dynamo front hub with internal wire routing and a fixed light mounting point. Frame sizes 56cm and up include 3 water bottle mounts.
The
Salsa Warbird Carbon Ultegra Di2 Gravel Bike features Shimano's quick shifting electronic Ultegra Di2 2x11 drivetrain, integrated hydraulic disc brakes, Salsa Carbon Cowbell handlebars, and DT Swiss CR1600 wheels.
