SALSA CYCLES BEND BAR DELUXE | Sweep Handlebars for Comfortable Long Rides

Touring aluminum handlebars that provide a natural wrist angle and comfortable riding posture.

Do you ever experience wrist or shoulder discomfort during long tours or gravel rides? The SALSA CYCLES BEND BAR DELUXE is a comfort-oriented flat handlebar designed to address just that.

Featuring a 17° or 23° sweep angle, it allows for a relaxed position with naturally open wrists. This reduces fatigue during long rides, making the handlebars perfect for enjoying the scenery and the journey itself even more.

Its unique characteristic is the distinctive bend shape, which extends forward once before sweeping back. Unlike typical swept bars where the reach can be significantly shortened, this design allows for natural position changes without major stem length adjustments.

Made from lightweight and high-strength 7050-T76 double-butted aluminum, it can also be inverted for installation, allowing flexible adjustments to suit the rider's preferences.

These handlebars are especially recommended for those who want to make long tours, commutes, or gravel rides more comfortable. With your wrists at a natural angle, you'll experience less of the fatigue typical of flat bars.

Another appealing feature is the design that prevents the reach from becoming extremely short despite being a swept bar, allowing you to enhance comfort without drastically altering your current position. The straightforward handling, which feels natural even on singletrack, is also a key point.

Recommended for touring bikes and gravel bikes, as well as for improving the comfort of ATBs and commuter bikes. This is a handlebar we highly recommend to anyone looking to re-evaluate their riding posture.
