The Warbird Carbon has become a benchmark for other bike companies to follow. This is the latest version with Shimano's gravel-ready GRX components.

The Warbird's carbon fiber frame is more than just a lightweight masterpiece. It was built to keep the rider fresher for longer. Called Class 5 VRS (or Vibration Reduction System), the engineering and use of carbon fiber in the Warbird's frame soaks up fatiguing vibration like a sponge. Rough dirt roads, jeep doubletrack and hardpan are the home and playground of the Warbird Carbon GRX 600, so get out and get adventurous! The ultralight frame and carbon fiber Waxwing fork ensure a very low overall weight, making fearsome terrain less challenging. An upright fit and relaxed geometry allow a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to fit and stay comfortable on the Warbird. Clearance for tires up to 45c wide (and 650bx2.1"!) allow for plenty of options when seeking appropriate rubber for adventurous riding or just commuting.

Shimano's new 11-speed GRX components are found throughout the Warbird. Designed to put up with rough surfaces and dirty environments, GRX components are Shimano's ultimate gravel/adventure group. The Warbird's dual-control levers, derailleurs, and 48/31T sub-compact crankset are all GRX units. An 11-34T Shimano cassette brings a huge gearing range to the Warbird Carbon. Tubeless-ready alloy WTB Speedterra wheels are wrapped with meaty 700x42c Teravail Cannonball tires, boasting a smooth feel and aggressive grip on crumbly surfaces and singletrack. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine. A WTB Volt Comp saddle sits atop an alloy Salsa Guide Deluxe seatpost, offering a comfortable perch for multi-hour events. An alloy Salsa Guide stem and Salsa Cowbell Deluxe handlebar with a 12 degree flare completes this gravel-ready warrior.
