What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve used the Salt Flat bars on everything from mellow XC rides to overnight bikepacking. The 11° back sweep and 6° up sweep make them super comfortable for long days, and at 750mm wide they’re stable without feeling bulky. Plus, trimming them is easy thanks to the markings."When our ride calls for comfort, strength, and a clean cockpit, we reach for the Salsa Salt Flat Handlebar. Its classic flat-bar shape is built for cross-country riding and bikepacking, with generous sweep angles that keep our wrists happy all day long. Lightweight yet durable, it balances control and responsiveness over long climbs, winding singletrack, or loaded multi-day routes. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Salt Flat bar keeps things simple but high-performing. A 750mm width offers great control without overwhelming narrower trails, and graduated ends let us trim them for a dialed fit. With 11° of back sweep, 6° of up sweep, and no rise, this bar promotes a neutral, relaxed position—ideal for long rides where comfort is everything.
