Salsa Warroad review

Mar 2020 · Stu Bowers

A versatile bike that will guarantee grin factor on or off road, but potentially even bigger smiles after a few considered component swaps

Highs
  • Stable and confidence inspiring

  • Quick accelerations

  • Fast overall feel

Lows
  • Somewhat harsher than expected

  • Potentially slightly held back by the spec choices

Covers distances quickly but for me lacks excitement on the road or gravel, and expensive compared with rivals
