About the STIHL Bike Handle (BR 350/430/450/500/600/700/800)
The STIHL Bike Handle is a practical, ergonomic upgrade designed to make operating STIHL backpack petrol blowers more comfortable and controlled—especially during long working sessions or when using curved nozzles. Offering a familiar two-handed grip similar to that of a brushcutter, this handle distributes the blower’s recoil evenly across both arms, helping to reduce strain and fatigue while giving you greater mastery over airflow direction.
Compatible with a wide range of popular STIHL backpack blowers—including the BR 350, BR 430, BR 450, BR 500, BR 600, BR 700, and BR 800—the bike handle is a valuable accessory for professionals in landscaping, estate management, and commercial outdoor maintenance, as well as demanding domestic users who want smoother, more controlled operation.
Two-Handed Grip for Better Handling
The standout feature of the STIHL Bike Handle is its dual-grip design, which provides a stable and balanced hold while operating the blower. This setup allows you to guide the blower tube with both hands, offering improved control over the direction and intensity of airflow. It’s particularly beneficial when working on uneven terrain, tackling stubborn debris, or maintaining precise sweeps across large areas.
Reduced Fatigue with Balanced Recoil Distribution
Backpack blowers generate a strong thrust, and with one-handed operation, that recoil can place continuous stress on a single arm. The bike handle spreads this force evenly across both arms, significantly reducing operator fatigue. This is especially important during long days of leaf clearing, large-scale property upkeep, or demanding commercial jobs where comfort and stamina make a real difference.
Ideal When Using Curved Nozzles
Curved nozzles are excellent for directing airflow downward, but they can shift the balance of the blower tube. The bike handle offers the extra stability needed to manage this configuration effectively, giving you smoother movements, more control, and stronger performance when clearing wet leaves, compacted dirt, or debris trapped along edges.
Easy to Fit, Durable, and Built for Professional Use
Made from sturdy, high-quality materials, the STIHL Bike Handle is built for long-term use in tough outdoor conditions. It attaches securely to your blower and is designed to withstand regular professional-grade workloads.
A Smart Upgrade for Power, Comfort, and Precision
If you rely on your STIHL backpack blower for extensive outdoor tasks, the STIHL Bike Handle is an excellent accessory to enhance productivity and reduce strain. With improved control, balanced recoil, and greater comfort, it transforms your blower into an even more efficient, operator-friendly tool—perfect for professionals and serious users alike.

Great ‘back-saver’!

These are definitely the way forward. Have weak wrists & with a powerful blower I get a very fatigued wrist. These have been a god send on my BR 700. Have recommended to many.
