Salsa Cycles | 2024 Warbird GRX 820 2x

Race-proven gravel performance built for speed, endurance, and long-distance mixed terrain riding.

The Salsa Warbird GRX 820 is a high-performance carbon gravel bike designed for riders who want efficient power transfer, long-distance comfort, and confident handling across gravel races, endurance rides, and fast mixed-terrain adventures.

Built around Salsa’s Warbird Carbon platform, the 2024 Warbird combines lightweight carbon construction, gravel-specific endurance geometry, wide tire clearance, and Shimano GRX 12-speed performance into a bike engineered for speed and stability on rough roads. Unlike aggressive cyclocross bikes that prioritize twitchy handling, the Warbird focuses on comfort, traction, and efficiency for long gravel events and all-day riding.
