Salsa

Flyway

Why the Salsa Flyway?

The Salsa Flyway was created for riders who want the performance of a gravel race bike one weekend but then want to go bike packing the next. It’s a lightweight carbon frame feels just as alive sprinting toward a finish line as it does rolling into the unknown on a long gravel road. Designed to smooth out the chatter of rough roads while staying responsive and efficient, the Flyway invites you to chase big miles, explore farther, and ride with confidence wherever you end up. Whether you're pinning on a number or simply riding until the map runs out, the Flyway is ready for the journey.

Technical Details

By refining Flyway’s carbon layup and seatstay/chainstay shaping, Salsa was able to reduce vibration between the rear axle and rider by 20% and increase lateral stiffness by 3% compared to Warbird for a more comfortable, efficient ride. The Flyway also features a suspension corrected fork so if you're really wanting to smooth things out you can put a suspension fork on it.

  • Smooth is Fast
  • Load up the Bags and Bottles
  • Plenty of Tire Clearance

Sizing Guide

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
