If you’ve got a fever for a better handlebar, the only cure is more Cowbellspecifically the Salsa Cowbell 3 Handlebar.

The Cowbell bar shape is a mild departure from a traditional road bike drop bar, so its easy to transition to if thats what youre used to. The design differences it offers do bring substantial benefits, however. The 12 flare at the drops offers increased leverage and stability when things get loose, while still preserving aerodynamics and a typical drop-bar brake/shifter feel. All these things make the Cowbell bar the wise choice for gravel racing and riding, especially in a wide-open country with a lot of exposure to wind.

While the Cowbell 3 may look a lot like your average road bar, Salsa made a few improvements to the old formula to make the Cowbell a loose-terrain slayer.

With a slight flare through the drops, the Cowbell 3 allows for a more natural hand position, giving you more control over the dirt. This bar feels tough and ready for actionit’s sure to inspire confidence in your next race or adventure.
