Salsa Journeyman Claris gravel bike

ALL-ROAD / GRAVEL / LIGHT TOURING

Journeyman is our all road bike designed with the versatility to fulfill a wide variety of missions, from backroad wandering to bikepacking to riding or racing gravel. We offer drop bar and flat bar builds in two wheel sizes; 700c or 650b.

Wheelsize and Tire Options for Different Riding Styles

Journeyman is built to accommodate two distinctly different wheel sizes; choose the traditional 700c road bike diameter in tire widths up to 50 mm wide for speed and efficiency, or the increasingly popular 650b diameter in tire widths up to 2.2" for plush, high-volume comfort and traction. Whatever size you roll, and wherever you'd like to venture, Journeyman's frame has room for the right size treads for the job.

Journeyman Specific Aluminum Tubing

Journeyman utilizes the same custom toptube and downtube we developed for the Warbird Aluminum, with new seatstays, chainstays, and dropouts in 6061-T6 aluminum to match.  The entire frame is then heat treated to T6 alloy standards for extra strength and durability.

Fantail Aluminum Fork

Feature-packed aluminum fork with a tapered steerer and flat-mount brake. A crown light mount, fender eyelets, mid-blade mounts for low-rider racks, and Three-Pack mounts for our Anything Cages or water bottles help add to the potential length of your rides.

Journeyman Geometry

Journeyman geometry was developed from years of riding our Vaya and Warbird. Taking cues from both, Journeyman is comfortable, stable, and confidence inspiring whether it's your daily driver, you're ripping up dirt paths into and through town, exploring unfamiliar terrain, or entering your first gravel race. Spirited when you want it to be, but relaxed enough to leave you with the energy for long rides.

Full-Length Internal Cable Routing

Full-length housing improves shifting performance in poor conditions and increases use time between maintenance intervals. Internal routing for a clean, uncluttered look.

Front and Rear Fender Mounts

Integrated front and rear fender mounts for drier riding in inclement weather.

Front and Rear Rack Compatible

Low-rider rack capability on the fork with mid-blade mounts with integrated mounts for a rear rack.

Toptube Bag Mounts

EXP Series Toptube bag using Journeyman's integrate top tube mounts.
