Warbird C GX Eagle AXS isnt just any carbon fiber gravel bike. Its comfortable, versatile, and race-ready all at the same time. Warbirds geometry and our Class 5™ VRS (vibration reduction system) are designed to decrease fatigue and increase stability over rough gravel roads. A full collection of cargo mounts lets you bring extra water, nutrition, layers, tools, and more on rides that push your limits. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain has the gearing for monumental climbs and tailwind-fueled flats, with the speed and ease of electronic shifting. Chase gravel adventures with Warbird.

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

WARBIRD GEOMETRY

Warbird features the latest evolution of our already industry leading gravel racing geometry. Warbird 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. Long top tubes paired with short stems provide increased stability at high speed and on rough descents

WAXWING DELUXE FORK

This fork features carbon construction with an aluminum steerer and 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 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 rainy weather, allowing you to tack on more training miles

700C X 42 MM WHEEL/TIRE SPEC

For faster acceleration and overall speed

DUAL WHEEL SIZE COMPATIBLE

Warbird fits up to 700c x 45 mm OR 650b x 2.0" 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 Warbird is optimized for the race course at hand

INTEGRATED TOPTUBE BAG MOUNT

Bolt on your Salsa EXP Series Top Tube Bag for secure connection and elimination of strap wear

GENEROUS WATER BOTTLE CAPACITY

Helps you stay hydrated during ultra-endurance training rides and races. 2-3 bottle mounts inside main triangle (56 cm and above 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

Designed to accept 1x, 2x, and current electronic offerings

STEALTH DROPPER POST COMPATIBLE

Accepts 27.2 mm dropper posts for more confident descending at high speeds on rough, unpredicatable gravel roads. Internal stealth routing when running 1x setups
