The Manzanita Cradle was designed in partnership with Salsa, building on the success of their legendary Salsa Anything Cradle. The Manzanita Cradle is a bracket mounted, rigid handlebar cradle built for all riding conditions from rugged shredpacking to champagne gravel. The design provides ample, unobstructed mounting options for lights, computers, trackers, and more.
