Jones H-Bar Loop

The primary advantage is versatility. The loop design offers multiple hand positions, which helps reduce fatigue on long rides by allowing you to change your grip and wrist angle throughout the day, something a standard flat bar cannot do.

Yes, the loop is specifically designed to act as a mounting platform. It provides a secure, stable space to attach bikepacking bags, GPS units, lights, or even a phone mount without cluttering your main grip area.

The rise you choose depends on your preferred riding posture. The 0.5-inch rise offers a more aggressive, forward-leaning position suitable for technical trails, while the 2.5-inch rise provides a more upright, comfortable geometry ideal for long-distance touring and bikepacking.

The H-Bar is constructed from butted aluminum, which is engineered to balance durability with weight savings. While it may be slightly heavier than a minimalist carbon race bar, it is optimized to handle the rigors of loaded touring and technical terrain without unnecessary bulk.

The H-Bar is designed to provide excellent leverage and control, especially on technical terrain. Because it allows for a more natural wrist angle, many riders find that it actually improves handling and stability, particularly when navigating rough gravel or singletrack.
