2024 Salsa Stormchaser Single Speed
Stormchaser is our single-speed gravel bike designed to prevail through bad weather and drivetrain-crunching conditions. The 6066-T6 alloy frame features our Class 5™ VRS (vibration reduction system) for comfort and composure on harsh roads. The compliant carbon fork comes with extra tire clearance and protection plates to prevent wear from muddy tires. Alternator Flat Mount dropouts allow for solid single-speed setups or 1x drivetrains (with geared dropout plate, sold separately). Frame and fork mounts make it easy to carry extra food and water on long rides, while the rack and fender mounts add a layer of versatility. Stormchaser is a trusty partner for single speed enthusiasts or gravel riders who saddle up no matter what.
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.
Class 5™ VRS
Soak up rough gravel roads. Our bowed seatstays are compliant while horizontally oriented chainstays resist torque for lateral stiffness.
Alternator Dropouts
Tune your ride characteristics and switch to single speed with ease. Our swappable dropout plates allow for multiple drivetrain options.
Frame Protection
Worry less about bike damage. Our frames and forks are designed and built to hold up to the rugged adventures you put them through.
CLASS 5™ VRS
The Class 5™ Vibration Reduction System has specially shaped seatstays with a tall, thin, vertically oriented profile that promotes vertical compliance by allowing the seatstays to "flex" outwards on impacts. The horizontally oriented chainstays work to resist torque and maintain a laterally stiff rear end. The seatstays and chainstays lack bridges, furthering the full length of the stays to contribute to flexibility. And a rear thru-axle delivers precise tracking while allowing the seatstays to provide that incredible compliance
GRAVEL RACE GEOMETRY
Stormchaser features geometry similar to our Warbird gravel race bike. Stormchaser places the rider in a position that can be maintained for hours on end over bumpy B-roads and loose surfaces, drastically reducing fatigue. A low bottom bracket and stable wheelbase help keep the tires planted and boost confidence. A long top tube paired with a short stem provides increased stability at high speed and on rough descents
MULTIPLE WHEEL SIZE COMPATIBILITY
Stormchaser fits up to 700c x 50mm OR 650b x 50 mm wheels/tires. Choose the wheel size that best meets your needs, or set up a second wheel set so your Stormchaser is optimized for the ride at hand
TWO COGS
Stormchaser comes with both a 17t and 18t cog installed. Coupled with the sliding Alternator Flat Mount dropouts, this allows for easy gearing adjustments based on route difficulty
ABRASION PLATES ON FORK
Integrated plates on the fork minimize abrasion from mud and debris
EXTRA MUD CLEARANCE
Stormchaser has 40% more mud clearance than Warbird (measured with a 700c x 42 mm tire)
ALTERNATOR FLAT MOUNT DROPOUT
15 mm of dropout adjustability (435-450 mm)
BOTTLE CAPACITY
2-3 bottle mounts inside main triangle (57.5 cm and above can accommodate 3), 1 accessory mount on underside of downtube, 2 bottle mounts possible on fork via Three-Pack mounts
FENDER MOUNTS
Full-coverage fenders allow for longer, more pleasant rides in wet weather
WIDE BAR SPEC
Wider handlebars improve leverage for single speeding and control in poor conditions. Bar width is relative to frame size-49 cm bikes come with 40 cm Cowchippers; 61 cm bikes come with 52 cm Cowchippers
THREE-PACK FORK MOUNTS
Two Three-Pack mounts on the fork allow for additional water, food, and accessory storage
FRONT AND REAR RACK MOUNTS
Mid-blade mounts of the fork allow for front racks such as the Salsa Down Under, designed for carrying touring panniers; also compatible with the Salsa Wanderlust rear rack when used with a Salsa Rack-Lock seatpost collar
TOP TUBE ACCESSORY MOUNTS
Top tube bolt-on mounts are designed for Salsa EXP Series Top Tube Bag or K-Edge Top Tube Computer Mount
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Internal tubes guide brake, shift, and dynamo cables through the frame, simplifying setup and maintenance
STEALTH DROPPER POST ROUTING
Accommodates 27.2mm dropper posts for more confident descending at high speeds on rough, unpredictable gravel roads
