2024 Salsa Warroad C Rival eTap AXS
SalsaWarroad C Rival eTap AXS is the cure for the common road bike. The stiff, lightweight carbon frameset with Class 5™ VRS and our endurance road geometry blends performance for spirited riding with comfort for long days in the saddle on any road surface - its our best bike for gravel and road riding. Extra mounts on the frame and fork hold everything you need for long days out. Dual wheel size compatibility lets you run up to 700c x 35 mm or 650b x 47 mm wheels and tires, and SRAMs Rival eTap AXS drivetrain feels superb and performs flawlessly, no matter where your wanderings take you.
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.
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
INTERIOR JUNCTION CONTROL MOLDING TECHNOLOGY
We use internal molds at all the main front triangle junctions during layup and curing. This allows for precise control of wall thickness and inner wall smoothness in these areas. This process increases compaction and reduces voids and wrinkles in critical high-stress zones. The end result is a top-quality carbon frame that delivers consistent high performance
WARROAD GEOMETRY
Our endurance all-road geometry pairs a slack head tube angle with a long offset fork to create high mechanical trail, which increases stability on rough surfaces. 415 mm chainstays make for a bike thats nimble and responsive but smooth on unpredictable surfaces
WARROAD DELUXE FORK
This full-carbon fork utilizes a 12 x 100 mm thru-axle for true tracking and flat mount brake for quick setup. Most importantly, the fork includes an incredible array of accessory features: Three-Pack mounts accept either water bottle cages or Anything Cages for increased hydration or gear-carrying capacity / Mid-blade mounts allow for the attachment of our Down Under low-rider rack for front pannier use / Internal dynamo hub cable routing means clean cable routing for those upgrading to dynamo front hubs / Fender mounts mean more pleasant riding in wet weather, allowing you to tack on more training miles
DUAL WHEEL SIZE COMPATIBLE
Warroad fits up to 700c x 35 mm OR 650b x 47 mm wheels/tires. We offer models with each spec so you can choose the wheel size that best meets your needs, or set up a second wheel set so your Warroad is optimized for the ride at hand
INTEGRATED TOP TUBE BAG MOUNT
Bolt on your Salsa EXP Series Top Tube Bag for secure connection and elimination of strap wear on your frame
GENEROUS WATER BOTTLE CAPACITY
Stay hydrated during all-day rides and races. 2-3 bottle mounts inside the main triangle (56cm and larger receive 3), 1 accessory mount on underside of downtube, 2 bottle mounts possible on fork via Three-Pack mounts
INTERNAL SLEEVED CABLE ROUTING
Internal tubes guide housing through the frame, simplifying setup and maintenance
REFINED DRIVETRAIN COMPATIBILITY
Warroad is designed to accept 1x, 2x and electronic shifting options
STEALTH DROPPER POST COMPATIBLE
Accepts a 27.2mm dropper post when running 1x or Di2 drivetrain for more confident descending at high speeds on rough roads and unpredictable terrain
FENDER MOUNTS
Stay clean and comfortable on wet-weather rides
