Stormchaser GRX 810 1x SUS

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
Gravel Race Geometry
Stormchaser features geometry similar to our Warbird gravel race bike, placing 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
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) and capable of 1x geared and single speed drivetrains
Bottle Capacity
2–3 bottle mounts inside main triangle (57.5 cm and above can accommodate 3), 1 bottle or accessory mount on underside of downtube
Fender Mounts
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
Rear Rack Mounts
Compatible with the Salsa Wanderlust rear rack when used with a Salsa Rack-Lock seatpost collar
Top Tube Accessory Mount
Compatible with the Salsa Wanderlust rear rack when used with a Salsa Rack-Lock seatpost collar
Internal Cable Routing
Internal routing for brake, shift, and dynamo cables reduces maintenance
Stealth Dropper Post Routing
Equipped with a 90 mm dropper post for more confident descending at high speeds on rough, unpredictable gravel roads
FAQ
What size wheels/tires can I use on this frame?
Stormchaser is designed for 700c x 32–50 mm and 650b x 47–50 mm wheels and tires.
Can I use a suspension fork on this frame?
Yes, this frame was designed and tested for use with a suspension fork with an axle-to-crown length up to 457 mm (typically 60 mm of travel). Check the fork manufacturer’s specifications to ensure the model and travel combination you intend to use is equal to or less than this length. Using a longer length fork will void the frame warranty and could result in frame failure. We recommend forks with 51 mm offset.
How do I take care of the Alternator Dropouts?
Periodically, we recommend that you remove the bolts and clean the dirt and grime off the hardware and the frame surfaces. Then, lightly re-grease the threaded parts and re-assemble.
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.
