The Gnarwal is a simple single tube bonded to a beautifully machined two-piece clamp that attaches to the front of the Loop H-Bar with stainless steel hardware. It provides a place to hold your hands and to better control the bike while in the most aero position that the H-Bar offers…It’s an aero bar for the H-Bar!

Tip: Fill your Jones H-Bar Pack to capacity with a soft material to enhance comfort while resting in the aero position or while resting hands across front loop and rear cross bar (as seen in above photos).
Improvements over the original version:
-
Wider clamp is stiffer and has a more secure grip.
-
One-piece face plate design with more clamping surface that is also easier to install.
-
Lighter design with the tube bonded onto the hollow machined clamp (original design used a bolt and wedge).
-
Now also available in lighter Carbon Fiber version.
You can use the Gnarwal bare, or you can wrap it with bar tape or even install a grip for a larger gripping area.
Besides using the Gnarwal as an aero bar it can function as a mounting location for bike computers, GPS, and sports action cameras.
The carbon version is less thermally conductive than the aluminum version which makes it feel colder in the heat and warmer in the cold.
