We were the first to recognize the advantages a dedicated gravel race bike could deliver.
That foresight came from years of experience racing in the nation’s premier gravel events.
We had a firsthand understanding of Iowa B-roads, Minnesota bluff country,
and the Flint Hills of Kansas, because we rode and raced there.
The industry laughed at us, but you gravel riders didn’t...because you rode and raced there too.
We’re excited to share this sneak peek into Warbird v4.
