Our go to “flat’’ handlebar for bikepacking use, if you're not into or prefer a straighter bar compared to a Surly Moloko or Jones H bar then the Salsa Bend Deluxe could be for you. The 17 degree version is great if you prefer a standard mountain bike bar (typically 8 degrees) but also want some wrist relief for long rides, or if you want a more relaxed ride grab the 23 degree version, paired best with the ergon GP1 palm support grip or the soft, bump eating ESI Extra Chunky grip.
