Jeff Jones has been a proponent of the more swept shape of his Hoop and Cut H-Bars for over 10 years and more than a few fat-bikers are using them for their fat-bike adventures.
Now, Jeff Jones is getting back to basics, back to the beginning, with a twist. Well, with a Bend. The Bend H-bar!
The original Jones concept, the 45° sweep but the bend, where it is, ensures shifters and levers are a simple fit and the one piece butted aluminum construction delivers a bar 170g lighter than a Loop. Less hand position options, less stuff-mounting space, marginally less stiff but all you might ever need in an H-bar. No more, no less. The Jones Bend H-bar.
Jeff says, “The bikes I ride for long distances or at night have the Loop H-Bars so I have more hand positions and mounting points. The Bend H-bar is nice for bikes that don’t need things attached to the front of the bar (light, GPS, etc.) or an aero position. I am using the Bend H-bar on my single-track day riding bikes – it’s great.”

Umm, looks like the Carver titanium, been around for 5 years?
The sweep is 45 degrees not 29 like the carver
