The Salsa Woodchipper handlebar is a game - changer for off - road cycling. Its unique shape offers amazing comfort and precise control, no matter how bumpy the trail gets. These bars bend in three planes, creating extra - wide lowers while keeping a shallow drop. For the best comfort, you'll need a special setup: tilt the brake/shifter position slightly downward so the drops have a 20–25° downward angle. It has an ergonomic design that pairs well with integrated road shift/brake levers or bar end shifters. With a 114mm drop, 56mm reach, 25° flare angle, and 38° drop angle, it's built for performance. Available in 42, 44, and 46cm widths, the 31.8mm clamp diameter with 140mm width works great with Salsa Anything Cradle and aerobars. The 44cm bar weighs just 230g.

Using your Salsa Woodchipper handlebar is easy. First, make sure to set up the brake/shifter position by tilting it slightly downward to get a 20–25° angle on the drops. This will give you the most comfortable riding position. When choosing a width, pick the one that suits your body size and riding style among the 42, 44, and 46cm options. For adding accessories like the Salsa Anything Cradle or aerobars, the 31.8mm clamp diameter with 140mm width is perfect. As for maintenance, regularly check the bolts on the handlebar and make sure they're tightened properly. Clean it with a mild soap and water to keep it in good condition. If you notice any signs of damage, like cracks or chips, stop using it and get it checked out right away.
