Stormchaser Single Speed is Salsa's minimalist gravel bike, designed to thrive in gritty, muddy conditions with its simple single-speed drivetrain and extra tire clearance. It pairs a 6066-T6 alloy frame with Class 5™ VRS impact-absorption technology and a carbon fork, with adjustable dropouts that make chain tensioning simple and leave the door open for a future geared conversion.
Features
- Class 5™ VRS — specially shaped seatstays that flex outward on impact while the chainstays resist torque, promoting vertical compliance without sacrificing lateral stiffness
- Alternator Flat Mount Dropouts with 15mm of dropout adjustability (435–450mm) for chain tensioning or future drivetrain changes
- Ships with both 17t and 18t cogs to adapt gearing to varied terrain
- 40% more mud clearance than Warbird with the stock 42mm tire setup
- Wheel/tire compatibility up to 700c x 32–50mm and 650b x 47–50mm
- Full fender mounts plus multiple bottle and fork Three-Pack mounts for extended touring capability
