There was a Tosco-moose version for a short time, and I’m not sure if it was only that one production run… but they do exist. I would snag one of those in a heartbeat if they ever made them again, because I love the Tosco bar. Would love to try a bit stiffer version too.

On the plus side, they are the only version that's stiff enough.  The aluminum ones were so flexy, I wasn't even comfortable using the bike while standing out of the saddle.  Comfort-wise  they are "almost" ideal. I regularly wish they had a longer stem reach and, especially, that the ends pointed down toward the back more.  It's a bit wheelbarrow-like, and hard to keep from sliding forward.  I also wish they had less rise, were quite a bit wider, and had more flare as well. (Or "less" flare?  I wish that they were a bit less  bent back, or turned out more.) All of these things - except the ideal moose construction - are solved by the steel Tosco.  I so hope they'll do a moose version, but its not made by Nito unfortunately.  I'll kerp both bars for variety but, if I only had one, it'd be the Tosco.  I actually bought a second one so I never have to worry about losing it.  The only problem is that it's 31.8 and it is VERY hard to find stems that are long enough.  150mm +/- . Ill find and post pics.
