Bike at Bedtime: check out the salsacycles Warbird, the gravel OG. Take a look at the first production gravel bike and see how it has evolved to stay relevant today cycling
Gravel might be big business in the bike world these days but it was only in the 2013 model year that the Salsa Warbird was launched as arguably the first purpose-built gravel bike on the scene.
“The frame’s compliance over the rough surface is also a consideration. Salsa use titanium and Extrolite EV6 aluminium in their two offerings. Double-butted tubing, flattened seat stays and tapered chainstays let Salsa design a smooth riding frame. . On top of that, it had made the switch from open dropouts and quick-release skewers to thru-axles front and rear, and there was space for tyres up to 44mm wide.
“The stays are shaped and slender, with a tall and thin profile intended to flex outwards to provide a degree of compliance when cycling over a rough surface,” we explained. “A skinny 27.2mm seatpost and tapered seat tube should also allow a bit of compliance too.”
