Journeyer Flat Bar Acolyte 700c is an excellent introduction to gravel riding. The aluminum frame and Fantail aluminum fork are based on our comfortable and stable gravel geometry to make rough roads less intimidating. Journeyer’s cargo features let you carry gear however it makes sense — front and rear rack mounts, Three-Pack mounts on the fork, top tube and down tube accessory mounts, and in-triangle bottle mounts open up a lot of options. 700c x 38 mm wheels and tires make it easy to carry speed but offer all the traction you’ll want when rounding loose gravel turns. The microSHIFT Acolyte 1 x 8 drivetrain is simple and offers a wide gear range for taking on stiff climbs. Journeyer is a gravel flat bar bike that’s equipped to take you from your front door to your favorite gravel course.
FEATURES:
- Salsa innovated new bottle and accessory mount placements for added utility and ride range. Our gravel and road bikes have mounts on the top tube and underside of the down tube, plus up to five additional bottle mounts for extra hydration, ride accessories, and bikepacking gear. Our mountain bike line features top tube mounts, mounts on the underside of the down tube on hardtail models, and space for multiple bottles on hardtails and select suspension bikes.

*In the bicycle industry, suppliers and factories sometimes change specs without notice and state that they are "subject to change without notice". This is because bicycles are made from hundreds of parts which come from dozens of vendors. Parts are sometimes updated to the most current production generation/iteration one gets better or more current parts or a comparable part. Product specifications are subject to change without notice.
