Salsa Journeyer Claris 700c

Journeyer makes it easy to get into gravel. Salsa designed its all-new aluminum frame and Fantail aluminum fork around comfortable geometry and versatile features.

The fender, rack, accessory, and Three-Pack mounts let you outfit it just the way you want. Versatile cargo carrying options extend riding range and allow for many different missions.

The 700c x 38 mm wheel and tire package rolls quickly and smoothly on pavement, but with enough traction for loose dirt and gravel.

Shimano’s Claris 2 x 8-speed drivetrain grants you the gear range to take on uphill grinds or take advantage of tailwinds. All of these features come together in an affordable package that might make it the best beginner gravel bike out there.
