Overview
The Warbird C Rival GX Eagle AXS is a carbon gravel bike designed for racing but capable of much more. The carbon frameset features our gravel race geometry and comfortable Class 5 VRS™, following our philosophy that less fatigue = more speed.
And because a great gravel ride can take you far from home, pack all you need for the day (or more) with Warbird’s frame and fork cargo mounts. A SRAM Rival/GX Eagle AXS shifting setup ensures smooth, quick gear changes so you can focus on the road ahead.
