SALSA CYCLES WARBIRD CARBON GRX 810 2X｜A Gravel Racer That Balances Speed and Endurance
Combining race-proven speed with the comfort to ride indefinitely.
While rooted in gravel racing, the SALSA CYCLES WARBIRD CARBON GRX 810 2X is also highly versatile, suitable for long rides and adventure rides.
The lightweight carbon frame features Salsa's proprietary Class 5™ VRS (Vibration Reduction System). Vertically compliant seatstays and a bridgeless design efficiently absorb road vibrations, helping to prevent fatigue accumulation during long rides.
A low bottom bracket, stable wheelbase, and a combination of a long top tube and short stem provide excellent stability even at high speeds. This allows for calm and controlled handling on rough gravel and descents.
Equipped with a Shimano GRX 810 2x drivetrain, it offers a wide gear range suitable for everything from high-speed cruising on flat terrain to steep hill climbs. This ensures high performance in races, long rides, and other events.
Furthermore, its abundant mounts and excellent tire clearance accommodate everything from long rides with extensive hydration and nutrition gear to lightweight bikepacking setups. This gravel bike is a reliable companion whether you're aiming for speed or embarking on a long journey.
