Moloko Bar!

[dfltroll]

Just noticed this now as I was checking out the updated website. Talk about taking a good design and making it better. One of these will be gracing my Big Dummy as soon as they're available.

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. The JJ are expensive, worth it though.

I roll the open bar right now, bu that may change when this one comes to market. I like it!

This bar with the new Ergon grips for swept back bars could be an awesome combo!

Here's a pic I found from Interbike: http://fat-bike.com/wp-content/uploa...d-new-bars.jpg

Looks like a winner!!. Anyone else found more pics?

What are these grips you speak of?

An Loop H-bar in reverse! An "A-bar"???

What are these grips you speak of?

They showed them at Eurobike, here's a pic and blurb from bikerumor:

"New GC1 grips are designed for city bikes with bent handlebars to put the hand and wrist in a straighter, more neutral position. Also available in a shorter one to work with twist shifters. They get an updated rubber compound, too."

[benswift]

when will these come out at LBS?
the moloko I mean?

[FTMN]

They are supposed to be at Q on 11/15.

Looks like the same MSRP as the Open Bar ($60).

ennh?
they sell us grips that allow us to rotate our wrists a bit, giving us more of a swept bar feel, then when we buy swept bars they try to sell grips that give us more of a flat-bar feel?

Haha!

The MSRP is $60 or 70- I spec'd them on my Big Dummy build but I don't know that my shop tried to order them yet, I wasn't aware that they weren't available until November... hmmm.

So will this have similar geometry to H Loop bar?

[Turtle01]

Surly's website states that they are an Open Bar with a crossbar welded in. So.....

Open Bar / Moloko Bar
Sweep Angle: 53 degrees
Width: 666mm

Loop H-Bar
Sweep Angle: 45 degrees
Width (center to center): 667mm

[LostBoyScout]

One of these in a ~30 degree sweep would rock my socks. Maybe one day.

I put Jones bars on a lot of bikes, but the price of these is super good. I like this.

[Ze_Zaskar]

Any news on this handlebar?

[quiksilverkurt]

It is too bad that it is not a 31.8mm stem. I also believe the H Bar would be better for single track as it has a regular straight bar grip to it. I am sticking with the H bar for my Ogre but will consider this bar for a future Big Dummy build.

QBP claims they will be in stock on January 1st. So I would guess they would be available to your LBS in mid to late January.

[Ze_Zaskar]

Thanks
Looking forward to see some reviews

Curious, what's a "regular straight bar grip" on an H-bar?

[LostBoyScout]

This bar will be perfect on a Dummy because I'm sure it's a boat anchor!

I might get one along with a bunch of other Surly parts and end up with a 35 lb Ogre

On the Titec H bar you can use the hand position just inside of the Horns and it is fairly close to having a normal MTB CC handlebar set up. If your on flat trails and don't need your hands on the brake levers than this is a great hand position.
