Sep 19, 2012 · It seems that the new Moloko bar low rise is the perfect bar for me. Plenty of room for lights and GPS and all that stuff on the front of the bar. I like it. Its a good take off on the Jeff Jones original bar. Hopefully it is not in the same price range.
If you're on the fence about the Surly Moloko Bar, I'm going to share my experience with you. It's primarily designed as a touring handlebar, but it can also...

Alt bars: Both are in a category known as “alternative” bars, which aims to increase comfort relative to flat MTB-style bars by adding backsweep and other comfort-focused features. Alt bars can offer the perfect combination of features for riders who aren’t totally happy with either drop or flat bars. MTB compatibility: Because these bars are varia...
A picture is worth a thousand words, so let’s start with this screenshot from the fantastic site whatbars.com(labels added by me). Bullhorns: The Moloko conspicuously includes mini-bullhorns (the straight extensions at the front of the loop) while the Jones Loop does not. These offer a forward-leaning “aero” position which is often used by bikepack...
The Jones Loop H-Bar has been around for awhile and is a classic among long-distance tourers. It’s made by Jeff Jones, cyclist and bike builder at Jones Bicycles. To clear up any confusion about the name, Jeff writes “All my bars are H-bars. H-bar for Handle-Bar.” So “H” is not the model type, “Loop” is. There are “Cut” and “Bend” versions too, but...
Surly is a very popular bike maker in the bikepacking and touring space. Their stuff is steel, heavy, bombproof, and somehow manages to be both practical and innovative at the same time. The Moloko handlebarfits right in. Compared to the Jones H-Bar’s myriad options, the Moloko says “you get what you get” in typical Surly style. It comes in one mat...
Still on the fence about the Jones Loop H-Bar versus the Surly Moloko? Here are my recommendations based on their most significant differences. Lighter weight: Jones Loop. If you’re counting grams and willing to spend more than $350, go for a carbon or titanium Jones Loop bar. For those of us with smaller budgets, the aluminum Jones and steel Surly...
It’s important to note that you don’t necessarily need a special bag to fit in the loop, and many regular handlebar bags work on loop-style bars too. For example, we mounted a Revelate Harness on my husband’s Jones Loop bar with zero modifications, and took it on a monthlong trip in Central Asiawith no issues.
I hope this comparison of the Surly Moloko and Jones Loop H-Bar helped you decide between these two excellent options. If you’re looking for ergonomic hand positions and all-day riding comfort for your pedal-powered adventures, it’s hard to go wrong with either!

It is a great review and I love your bike. My bfd is the same “Cromwell green”. I do wish the bfd came in an xl. My KM ss was an xl, and I had a large KM set up monster cross style. Felt a lil cramped, but worked well for its purpose. So I totally dig where you’re coming from.
