If you're looking for a fresh take on traditional mountain bike handlebars, the Salsa Bend Bar is your go - to. It comes with either a 17 or 23° sweep, giving you a more natural hand position without altering your reach or requiring a stem length change. The bar swoops forward and then sweeps back, forming an angled grip that's easy to hold. It's tough, strong, and durable, perfect for long - day bikepacking, touring, or shredding singletrack.

Using this Salsa Bend 23 Deluxe Ergonomic Riser Bar is straightforward. Just install it on your mountain bike according to the standard handlebar installation process. When riding, enjoy the natural hand position it provides, whether you're on a long bikepacking trip, touring, or hitting the singletrack. As for maintenance, regularly check the tightness of the bolts to ensure it stays securely attached to your bike. Wipe it down after rides to remove dirt and grime. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the bar's surface.
