Surly Moloko Bar 735 mm, 31,8 mm

Surly Moloko Bar is a touring and bikepacking handlebar for anyone who wants to change hand positions during long days without converting their bike to drop bars. It retains compatibility with standard flat-bar controls while offering significantly more ways to hold your hands than a traditional MTB handlebar.

The large front loop provides both alternative hand positions and practical space for a GPS, lights, bags and other cockpit accessories. The outer grips have 34-degree backsweep, providing a more relaxed angle for the hands and wrists, while the front section lets you stretch out and vary the load as the road continues hour after hour.

The handlebar is 735 mm wide and can be symmetrically cut down to 685 mm. The clamp diameter at the stem is 31.8 mm, and the grip areas have the standard 22.2 mm diameter for regular MTB brake and shift controls. The CrMo steel construction makes the Moloko heavier than a standard aluminum handlebar, but also clearly prioritizes durability, load-carrying options and long-term use over low weight.

Surly Moloko Bar is best suited to touring bikes, bikepacking builds and other flat-bar bikes where comfort and multiple hand positions matter more than a clean, minimalist handlebar. It’s the right choice if you want more variety and more mounting space without switching to a drop bar and new controls. The handlebar should not be combined with extra bar ends or aerobars and is not intended for installation in a carbon-fiber stem.

A solid steel handlebar that can take a beating.
