Surly Truck Stop Handlebar
Best ergonomic riser drop bar for long distance touring cyclists.
This bar solves the common issue of an overly aggressive drop position by adding a subtle rise, instantly making long days in the saddle more sustainable. It sacrifices the aerodynamic profile of a traditional road bar, but the trade-off is a significantly more relaxed posture that saves your neck and back on gravel adventures.
