Salsa Cycles just announced the Warbird V4, a reboot of their original gravel bike, at Dirty Kanza. Here’s a sneak peek into Warbird v4 featuring tons of mounts, dynamo cable routing, and more.

We tested a pair of Warbirds on the Green Mountain Gravel Growler just a couple years back and were quite impressed at what this bike could do. Now Salsa has announced a new version of the Warbird that ups the ante and adds more utility. Here are a few pics along with the full set of specs from Salsa:
