SALSA Cycles JOURNEYER GRX 600 650B
The best all-road bikes combine confidence on a wide variety of terrain with the versatility to take on all types of adventures. It’s no coincidence that you’ll find the Salsa Journeyer GRX 600 650b at that intersection. Journeyer’s all-new aluminum frame and Waxwing carbon fork deliver a smooth, comfortable riding experience. With rack and fender compatibility, plus Three-Pack and accessory mounts, you can customize it to your needs — from gravel to bikepacking to commuting. The 650b x 47 mm wheels and tires provide the cushiony ride and grip of a high-volume tire, and Shimano’s GRX 600 groupset was designed from the ground-up for an excellent gravel riding experience. It all comes together to make Journeyer one of the best all-road bikes out there for new gravel riders or all-arounders.
