Are you looking to revolutionize your cycling experience? The Jones H-Bars are a game-changing upgrade, perfect for a wide spectrum of bikes, from bikepacking and touring machines to mountain, road, gravel, commuting, and city bikes. If you’re seeking a superior alternative to traditional drop bars, Jones H-Bars deliver enhanced hand positions, exceptional comfort, increased control, and expanded options for mounting bags and lights.
While their design might seem unconventional at first glance, the Jones H-Bars are engineered to provide demonstrably better handling and comfort compared to traditional handlebars. The key lies in offering a wider array of hand and body positions, translating to improved power output, lasting comfort on long rides, and confident control across diverse terrains. The thoughtful 45-degree sweep naturally aligns your wrists, promoting a relaxed and comfortable position, even on extended journeys.
Jones H-Bars are available in premium titanium, lightweight carbon, and durable aluminum, catering to various rider preferences and budgets. Importantly, all H-Bar models, with the exception of the Loop Carbon 35mm, are designed to fit standard stems with a 31.8mm clamp diameter, ensuring broad compatibility with existing bike setups.
Explore the Range: Loop, Cut, and Bend Jones H-Bar Bikes
Jones H-Bars come in three distinct styles, each offering a unique blend of features to suit different riding needs: Loop, Cut, and Bend.
The Loop H-Bar stands out as the most versatile and feature-rich option in the lineup. Its defining loop design maximizes hand positions, providing ample space for mounting cycling computers, lights, GPS devices, and bags. The looped structure also contributes to increased stiffness, enhancing responsiveness and control, especially when loaded for bikepacking or touring adventures. For riders who demand the most adaptability and carrying capacity, the Loop H-Bar is the premier choice.
The Cut H-Bar offers a very similar experience to the Loop, maintaining the core benefits of multiple hand positions and ergonomic comfort. However, it distinguishes itself by removing the central section of the loop. This design modification results in slightly reduced gadget mounting space compared to the Loop. Additionally, the absence of the central loop connection means the Cut H-Bar is marginally less stiff. Despite these subtle differences, the Cut H-Bar remains an excellent choice for riders seeking the signature Jones H-Bar feel with a slightly streamlined design.
For those seeking the essential Jones H-Bar experience in its purest form, the Bend H-Bar delivers. This stripped-down design focuses on the core principles of long, 45-degree swept grip areas, providing exceptional comfort and a selection of highly effective hand positions. The Bend H-Bar is an ideal entry point into the world of Jones H-Bars, offering the renowned comfort and ergonomic benefits without the added features of the Loop or Cut models. It’s a perfect upgrade for riders who prioritize comfort and hand position versatility but may not require extensive accessory mounting options.
Most Jones H-Bar models and styles are available in two width options: 660mm and 710mm. Both widths share the same fundamental hand positions and ergonomic shape. However, the wider 710mm version introduces an additional fully upright hand position at the very back of the grip area. This upright position is invaluable for touring cyclists and anyone who appreciates the option to sit completely upright for relaxed riding without sacrificing access to bike controls. The 660mm width excels in tighter environments, such as technical singletrack trails or navigating congested city streets. The 710mm width is the most popular choice and helpfully includes laser-etched cut guides, allowing riders to customize the width down to 660mm if needed.
To maximize your comfort and control with your new H-Bars, be sure to consult the comprehensive H-Bar Manual for setup guidance.
Finally, remember that to unlock the full potential of your Jones H-Bars and achieve optimal fit, comfort, and control, longer grips are essential. Explore the range of compatible grips here to complete your upgrade.
