Salsa Woodchipper Deluxe

Unlike traditional road bars, the Woodchipper features a unique three-plane bend. This design creates exceptionally wide drops, which provides significantly more stability and control when you are riding on loose gravel or technical off-road terrain.

Yes, the Woodchipper is designed to be versatile. It is fully compatible with standard integrated road levers as well as bar-end shifters, making it a great choice for custom gravel or touring builds.

Yes. To get the intended ergonomic benefits, the drops must be angled downward. If you install them like a traditional road bar, the ergonomics will feel awkward; the downward cant is essential to unlocking the comfort and control the design offers.

The 25-degree flare pushes the drops outward, creating a wider stance for your hands. This increased width gives you more leverage and stability when descending or navigating rough surfaces, though it does mean your hands will be positioned wider than on a standard road bike.

Absolutely. The 7050-T6 aluminum construction balances weight and durability, and the shallow 114mm drop is designed to keep you in a comfortable position for long hours in the saddle, whether you are bikepacking or commuting.
