Minnesota’s Salsa Cycles is known for building some iconic adventure race bikes, and the Stormchaser gravel bike is no exception. Bult for adverse conditions, the versatile Stormchaser will be now available in four different flavors. Two singlespeed options, as a frameset, or a geared version that comes with front suspension.
Salsa Cycles says the Stormchaser’s name comes from “the bike’s perseverance on weather-wrecked gravel roads. It’s a bike designed to reach the end of the ride no matter what, and to do so without being completely ruined on the way. It’s no coincidence that many of the biggest gravel races take place in Tornado Alley.“
