The 2024 Salsa Stormchaser lineup returns with singlespeed builds, fresh color options, and an interesting new geared version with a dropper post and a 40mm suspension fork. Dig into all the details here…

The Stormchaser was first released in 2020 as a singlespeed gravel bike designed specifically for mud and inclement conditions. While it takes design cues from the Warbird, the Stormchaser is its own beast, including arched Class 5 VRS seat stays, steel abrasion plates on the fork’s interior, internal cable routing, fender mounts, and extra tire clearance. It has 40% more mud clearance than the Warbird and can accommodate up to 700c x 50mm or 650b x 50mm tires.

The Stormchaser was only offered as a singlespeed complete build or frameset when it was released, but in 2022, they introduced a geared version with a dropper post and suspension fork, and we’re excited to see that option making a comeback for 2024. Find details on the 2024 Salsa Stormchaser range below.

2024 Salsa Stormchaser Apex Eagle SUS

As the name suggests, the new Stormchaser Apex Eagle SUS is an entirely new build option based around a mechanical SRAM Apex Eagle drivetrain, a 90mm TranzX dropper post, and a RockShox Rudy XPLR fork with 40mm of gravel-eating suspension. It comes in a fresh new “Berry” paint job and costs $3,199 USD. Check it out here.
