Overview
Our inspiring review is coming soon for now, here is what Salsa has to say:
A gravel ride can be whatever you want it to be: go for speed, go for distance, go for fun, go for an escape. No matter your goal, Warbird C GRX 810 2x is a comfortable and efficient way to get there. The carbon frame with Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System (VRS) tames harsh roads. Our gravel race geometry grants you control on ruinous roads. Thoughtful mounting points provide places for everything from extra bottles to a light bikepacking setup. Shimano’s GRX 810 2x drivetrain has proven itself as a dependable, high-performance gravel group with plenty of gear range for windy flats and steep climbs. Put it all together and you’ve got one of the best gravel bikes out there.
