Marketed as bars for cruiser or city bikes, the backswept shape is indeed comfortable. They are also of the flip-flop variety, so either a 32mm rise or drop. Between headset spacers, a selection of stems, and the flip-flop option, you can seriously dial in the cockpit position.
Ending up with a set (or two) of these began with a search for a Jones bar. And really, any good touring bar needs to be put up against the Loop bar, and see how it compares. A few key points. You can run a shorter stem with the Metropolis, and it comes in at half the price. The Jones on the other hand has more hand/mounting positions, aaaaand comes in a carbon version. If you swing that way…
Another thing I really like about them is the options on contact points. I’ve run them with traditional lock-on grips, full bar wrap, and wrap in the middle/grips on the outside. My preferred default position tends to be with my hands at the apex of the front curves, with the thumb either hooked around the bar or the brake levers. I find it’s pretty much the same sort of positioning that riding on the hoods would be.
