Salsa Cowchipper Handlebar

The 24-degree flare pushes the drops outward, creating a wider stance that significantly improves leverage and stability. This makes technical descents and rough gravel sections feel much more controlled and secure compared to standard road bars.

The Cowchipper Deluxe uses a standard 31.8 mm clamp diameter. As long as your current stem is designed for 31.8 mm bars, it will be compatible.

Yes, the extended clamp area is specifically designed to provide more room for mounting accessories like GPS units, lights, or handlebar bags. It helps clear up clutter on the tops of the bars, which is especially helpful for long-distance touring setups.

7050-T6 aluminum is a high-strength alloy that allows the bar to be lightweight while remaining stiff enough for aggressive handling. It provides a reliable, sturdy feel without the harshness often associated with lower-grade aluminum bars.

While they are optimized for gravel and touring, you can certainly use them for road riding. However, keep in mind that the wide flare changes your hand position significantly, so they are best suited for riders who prioritize comfort and stability over aerodynamic efficiency.
