drew, I've set my Map bar up with just 2 hand positions, but there's a mid hook position (I have it blocked with a bell). Great for climbing - best standing bike I've ever ridden. I was on a greenway path today and a band of roadies were spinning past then slowing down on their wind, several times (forcing me to pass them several times). When they created a dicey traffic situation, I stood up and blew them away, tossing the bike left and right. It's a much more secure feeling than leaning on the hoods of my drop-bar bike. .
