"singletrack mountain bike trails with very little road riding going on, so quick handling, secure gripping, and easy turning is a plus"
based on this quote from the op i'd 100% go regular bullmoose. when you ride super swept back bars, you give up control for comfort IMO. I have had the bullmoose on my hunqapillar and now my cheviot, they're great for MTB. choco moose would be strong enough but the turning is slower and your weight on the bike is wrong for quick zippy singletrack and mountain bike situations in my experience. The standard bullmoose still rise and are still an upright bar compared with drops and modern MTB bar/stems. best of both worlds..
