Vaya Ti

When was the last time you wrapped you legs around the Salsa Vaya Ti machine and felt the cold love of titanium? Well, the Salsa Vaya is built around a sexy titanium frame that doesn't scream, 'look at me!'—rather, it oozes practicality with a healthy dose of performance and comfort. Beautiful welds may not impress your girlfriend, but parade the Vaya in front of your local frame builders and watch them coo like a newborn babies. Simple yet effective Avid BB7 mechanical brakes won't leave you stranded with bubbles and loose levers 60 miles from home on a Forest Service road, while Brooks supplies the Vaya with their timeless B-17 saddle, possibly the most comfortable saddle of all time. Salsa didn't slap a set of knock-off hoops on the Vaya either, instead they provided the ti-masterpiece with sleek and bulletproof DT Swiss TK540 rims that wrap around Shimano LX hubs for energy-saving rolling capabilities. Feel free to thank the Dura Ace Bar-End Shifters and XT Derailleur for your crispy gear changes—even when loaded down with 75 lbs of gear.
