Salsa Flyway C Frameset

The frame accommodates tires up to 50mm wide, while the carbon fork offers additional clearance for up to 57mm tires. This setup gives you plenty of flexibility to run wider rubber up front for extra comfort and traction on technical gravel.

No, the Flyway C DLX is designed exclusively for electronic shifting systems. The frame routing and derailleur hanger configuration are optimized specifically for electronic-only front derailleurs to maintain a clean, modern build.

It uses a T47 threaded bottom bracket with an 85.5mm shell width. This standard is widely appreciated for combining the stiffness and durability of a larger shell with the creak-free reliability of threaded cups.

The Class 5 Vibration Reduction System (VRS) is engineered to allow the seatstays to flex slightly, which helps dampen road chatter and impacts before they reach you. It effectively smooths out rough gravel surfaces without sacrificing the power transfer efficiency needed for climbing or sprinting.

Yes, the frame is compatible with 27.2mm seatposts, including dropper posts. Since the frame features internal cable routing, you can achieve a clean, clutter-free setup for your dropper post cable.

The geometry is suspension-corrected, meaning it is specifically optimized for gravel-specific suspension forks. This ensures the bike's handling remains stable and predictable even if you choose to add a suspension fork later.
