SALSA CYCLES WOODCHIPPER DROP BAR | Flared Drop Bar for Off-Road Riding
Salsa's iconic off-road drop bar, delivering exceptional stability and control.
The SALSA CYCLES WOODCHIPPER DROP BAR truly excels on rough forest roads, doubletracks beyond gravel, and long-distance adventure routes.
Its distinctive three-dimensional bend structure maintains a shallow 114mm drop while significantly widening the drop section. The unique riding position created by the 25° flare and 38° drop angle provides high stability and control even on rough terrain.
When gripping the drops, your elbows naturally splay outwards, allowing for a posture that makes it easier to control the front tire with your entire body. Designed more for off-road use than typical gravel bars, it's an excellent match for adventure rides and bikepacking.
The clamp area provides 120mm of space, accommodating accessories like the Anything Cradle and clip-on aerobars. Its expandability for carrying gear and long-distance rides is another attractive feature.

The WOODCHIPPER's unique shape might be surprising at first glance, but its purpose becomes clear once you take it off-road. The stability when gripping the drops is exceptionally high, allowing you to control your bike confidently even on rough forest roads and long descents.
A tip for setting it up is to position the brake levers slightly downwards. The unique bend shape then transforms into a natural, comfortable grip, making it enjoyable even for long rides.
This Salsa icon is highly recommended for those who want to seriously enjoy bikepacking and adventure riding, going beyond the scope of typical gravel road cycling.
