Salsa is known for its incredibly capable and value packed touring and adventure bikes. The new Salsa Journeyer brings a bit of gravel bike flavor with a rugged aluminum frame, carbon fork, big tyre clearance and a Sram 1x drive train.

We particularily like that the Salsa Journeyer offers excellent fit and comfort for riders of all heights and sizes. Its a bike that can handle fast rides across the country and proper rough stuff exploring. 

Its a nice gravel bike, that can be a fast commuter or a touring bike if needed! 

 

Path Less Pedaled Says

"Its like a Salsa Cutthroat (full Carbon) but at a much more sensible price point" 

Salsa says:

Do you ever feel tempted by the rough-looking side roads and dirt detours you see while out riding? Journeyer Apex 1 650b is here to satisfy your curiosity. An all-new aluminum frame and our Waxwing carbon fork prioritize stability and comfort on all types of roads. We designed Journeyer with adventure-bike features, including fender, rack, and accessory mounts, plus Three-Pack mounts for extra supplies or camping gear. 650b wheels and high-volume 47 mm tires offer a large contact patch for great grip on loose surfaces. SRAM’s Apex 1 drivetrain is a dependable ride partner with the gear range to take on hilly routes or downtown hustles. Journeyer has all the makings of an adventure bike — time to start planning your next getaway.
