Salsa heads into 2026 with updates to three of its gravel platforms: the Fargo, Cutthroat, and Journeyer. The updates include new colors and component options, including gravel suspension forks offered on some complete builds.
Oh, and they are also adding another gravel bike to their lineup! Introducing the Flyway.
The Salsa Flyway
First, let’s see what Salsa has been cooking up with their new gravel platform, the Flyway. Salsa says this is the bike you will want to ride every day of the week. It is the platform that is confident between race tape, yet comfortable enough for a weekend (or week) in the woods.
Salsa continues to push away from traditional road geometry on the new Flyway. The head tube is a bit slacker, the reach is longer, and the bottom bracket is lower to provide stability. However, the chainstays remain relatively short for quick responsiveness, and the seat tube is steeper, providing more comfort and better power transfer.
The Flyway comes in two carbon offerings: Deluxe and Standard. Salsa’s Standard carbon layup prioritizes performance and minimizes weight, with an ML-size frame weighing just 1,200g. The Deluxe goes even further, dropping the same frame down to 1,050g.
These frames are compatible with 40mm travel forks.
Salsa equipped the Flyway with 12 x 148mm spacing and room for 50mm tires in the rear. The fork is compatible with up to 57mm tires. It has a 47.5mm chainline, a UDH, and is compatible with both 2x and 1x drivetrains. It also features headset cable routing.
There are six frame sizes: XS, SM, MD, ML, L, and XL. The two smallest sizes fit two bottle cages in the frame, while MD-XL can fit three. There are multiple other mounting points throughout the Flyway, including bag mounts and rack compatibility.
Salsa offers the Flyway in five builds and a frame-only option.
