Additional Features

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. 415mm chainstays, size-specific carbon layup and oversize bottom bracket junction make for a bike that’s responsive when accelerating but keeps the ride smooth

Warroad Deluxe Fork

This full-carbon fork utilizes a 12 x 100mm 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

Dual Wheel Size Compatible

Warroad fits up to 700c x 35mm OR 650b x 47mm 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 Toptube 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

Internal tubes guide housing through the frame, simplifying setup and maintenance

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

Rear Rack Friendly

Compatible with the Salsa Wanderlust Rack when using the optional Salsa Rack-Lock seat collar

FAQ

Can I run fenders on the Warroad?

Yes, Warroad will fit up to 700c x 30mm tires or 650b x 42mm tires with fenders.

Do you offer touch-up paint?

No, we do not offer touch up paint. Hobby shops or automotive stores are excellent places to find paint. We suggest you test the paint on a scrap piece of metal before using it on your frame.

I crashed and dented (or cracked) my frame. Is it safe to ride?

Stop riding your frame immediately and take it to the nearest Salsa authorized dealer for inspection. A dented or cracked tube represents a structural weakening of the frame, and is a safety risk.
