Here are five things that make riding the Salsa Vaya fun.

• This bike’s steel frame makes it heavier than a bike made from carbon fiber or aluminum. The weight slows it down, but steel offers a comfortable ride, and the frame can withstand abuse for years.
• The TRP Spyre brakes provide reliable stopping power in wet or dry weather conditions. The brakes are also easily adjustable, so you don’t need to go to a bike store for brake servicing to ensure they remain sharp.
• The bike’s 22 speeds offer a wide range of gear to climb hills and race through flat terrain comfortably. The Shimano derailleurs make shifting gears quick and incredibly smooth, ensuring you maintain speed as you change surfaces.
• The Vaya’s wide 700 x 32c WTB tires have excellent traction and give you better control when you ride off-road.
• The numerous mounts on the bicycle’s frame and fork allow you to carry enough luggage for your travels if you use this bike for touring.

The Salsa Vaya is a good option for those looking to buy a bike they can do any type of riding with. Its steel frame, good tire clearance, disc brakes, and many more exciting features make it ready for your on and off-road bike adventures.
