Title: MTB Drop Bar like Salsa Woodchipper?
Post by: circoloco on December 08, 2018, 03:57:06 AM

Has anyone stumbled upon a MTB Dropbar like the Salsa Woodchipper? The Woodchipper costs 215€ in carbon, that’s a lot. I couldn’t find a proper clone yet.

The dropbar is flared out. It serves a couple of purposes. The first one is more ergonomic (but that is subjective to rider preferences). Plus the flare makes it a bit wider for better control. Again, subjective. The second is if you are into bike packing or simply attaches bags/packs in the handle bar, it gives some extra room for your hand when you're in the drop position.
