2024 Salsa Journeyer Claris 650b
There are many kinds of roads - gravel, rugged doubletrack, urban asphalt - and Journeyer Claris 650b is built to make the most of each of them. With a fully redesigned aluminum frame and Fantail aluminum fork, its geometry is set up for comfort and confidence wherever you find yourself. Versatile features such as fender and rack mounts, Three Pack mounts, and plenty of space for bottles and accessories make it possible to use one bike for many missions. The 650b wheels and 47 mm tires have generous grip in loose conditions but roll fast enough to be your first choice for errands and commuting around town. Shimanos Claris 2 x 8-speed gearing is reliable and makes nearly any terrain possible. Its our recipe for the perfect beginner gravel bike that wont limit you only to gravel roads.
On-Bike Storage
Carry more on your bike and less on your body. Our frames and forks feature mounts for extra bottles, camping gear, and ride accessories.
6061-T6 ALUMINUM FRAME
We use alloy tubing developed specifically for the Journeyer frame, which is then heat-treated to T6 alloy standards for extra strength and durability.
FANTAIL ALUMINUM FORK
The Fantail fork is constructed from aluminum alloy and designed for a 9 x 100 mm quick-release axle. Fantails two sets of Three-Pack mounts and mid-blade rack mounts let you load up everything you need for your rides. Fender mounts add a touch of all-weather utility, and massive 700c x 56 mm or 650b x 59 mm (27.5 x 2.3") tire clearance lets you choose the wheel and tire setup for your riding conditions.
GRAVEL GEOMETRY
Journeyer is comfortable, stable and confidence inspiring whether its your daily driver, youre ripping up dirt paths through town, exploring unfamiliar terrain, or entering your first gravel race. Spirited when you want it to be, but relaxed enough to leave you with the energy for long rides.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Full-length housing improves shifting performance in poor conditions and increases use time between maintenance intervals. Internal routing for a clean, uncluttered look.
DROPPER POST ROUTING
Internal dropper post routing makes it easy to outfit your Journeyer for more technical riding.
FLAT-MOUNT BRAKES
Flat-mount brakes offer a clean look, easy setup, and compatibility with most of todays road and gravel brake offerings.
CARGO CAPABILITY
Journeyer features front and rear rack mounts, a Three-Pack mount on each fork leg, a top tube mount, down tube mount, and bottle mounts. With this many options, you can load it up however you like.
650B X 47 MM WHEELS AND TIRES
650b wheels accelerate quickly, and the high-volume 47 mm Teravail Washburn tires blend straight-line speed with confidence in turns on loose terrain.
SALSA COWBELL DROP HANDLEBAR
Drop bars provide multiple hand positions, increasing comfort and efficiency on long rides. They also provide the rider a more aerodynamic position when stiff headwinds arise. Our Cowbell bars feature a 12° flare that puts your hands, wrists, and arms into a position that feels natural when youre in the drops.
DUAL WHEEL SIZE COMPATIBILITY
Journeyer fits both 700c and 650b wheel sizes. We offer models in each size so you can choose the one that meets your needs or set up a second wheel set so your Journeyer is ready for any type of ride.
