Salsa Vaya Frameset

The Vaya is designed as an all-rounder for long-distance comfort. It excels at light touring, gravel riding, and daily commuting where stability and vibration damping are more important than pure racing speed.

The frame is designed with clearance for 700c x 45mm tires. This is generally wide enough for most gravel roads and light trails, but you should stick to that limit to ensure proper frame clearance and safety.
