Salsa Cowchipper Handlebar

The 24-degree flare widens the drops significantly, which gives you more leverage and stability when descending on loose gravel or technical terrain. It creates a more secure, confident hand position compared to a traditional road bar.

Yes, as long as your stem has a 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is the current industry standard for modern road and gravel bikes. It will not fit older stems with 25.4mm or 26.0mm clamping areas.

Absolutely. The Cowchipper is designed specifically for comfort over long durations, and it features an extra-wide clamp section that gives you plenty of room to mount GPS units, lights, or a handlebar bag without cluttering your hand positions.

This specific alloy is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the bar to be durable enough for rough off-road use while remaining lightweight at 293g. It offers a stiff, responsive feel that handles vibration well without feeling overly harsh.

With a 68mm reach and 116mm drop, this bar is shallower and shorter than a traditional racing bar. This geometry puts you in a more upright, accessible position, which reduces strain on your back and neck during long rides.
