SALSA CYCLES COWCHIPPER DELUXE BAR｜Overwhelming Control from 24° Flare

A handlebar for deeper grip and stronger control, whether for long rides or unpaved roads.
From road touring to mixed surfaces, and even long-distance dirt roads like the Great Divide. The Cowchipper is designed for spending long hours in the saddle.

At first glance, it has the silhouette of a traditional road bar. However, the drops feature a bold 24° flare. The leverage and stability that spread the moment you grip the drops truly shine on rough terrain. You'll feel like you can command the bike with your body, providing a different level of confidence on long descents or in strong winds.

Made from 7050-T76 series aluminum, it achieves both lightness and high strength. The polished silver finish also pairs well with steel frames and classic touring bikes.

The 24° flare provides a more significant difference in feel than its appearance suggests. When you grip the drops, your elbows naturally open, creating a stable feeling as if you're wrapping your body around the bike. This provides particularly high confidence at high speeds on gravel and during long downhills.

While its appearance leans towards the classic, its performance is quite aggressive. It's an excellent choice for touring enthusiasts, and it can also fully handle race-oriented gravel riding.
