I enjoy the circled portion of the bar on the Boscos at least. The
transition zone between the flat, center portion at stem height and the
swept back control area on the Boscos is where I go to get a little more
"aggressive." Its a riding position that keeps my hands relatively close to

I've used the Bosco 55cm steel non-moose variation that came stock on my
Clem. I ended up using some stoker nubs on mine. Well, to be more
accurate, my 'nubs' were just old Dia Compe non-aero lever hoods with the
levers removed rather than the actual stoker nubs. It wasn't long before I
I find Toscos to be a single hand position bar. I like them regardless.
I’ve considered the stocker nubs as an option but haven’t executed them yet. I
do have the front flats wrapped but don’t find them useful.

I have ridden the Bosco and have 60cm Toscos on my Clem. I didn't love the
Boscos, too much rise and too narrow. However, I LOVE the Boscos. Favorite
bars for comfort and long rides (well, maybe a tie with Jones bars, but
it's a whole different aesthetic).
I use the circle part you mentioned
For clarity, are you grabbing at the top of the downward curve, or wrapping
your hand around the downhill section below it? I believe the OP is asking
about the latter.

I have been using Tosco bars for a couple months, and I find the circled
area to be useful for climbing, shifting, and feeling speedy. I do use a
treadless stem adapter with a medium long stem, so the bars are fairly low
and close, which might alter the accessibility of the circled area
I have a Tosco and only the outer straights are usable, and it's not very
much room at that. I much prefer the steel Albatross with bar end brake
levers so it's entirely unfettered all the way up to and around the top
curve. RBW showing the Bosco with tape over the entire bar, hah hah .
I've owned all three versions of *osco and didn't find a way to grip that
steep downhill part. I suppose it's feasible on the shallower Losco if
they're mounted really low and you're reaching down to the bar but I doubt
any of us here run our bars that way.
The useable positions I found: 1.
Can't speak to a Tosco or Losco, but regarding a Bosco, the upper bend in
the rise area is my go-to for climbing, I don't find much use for the rest
of the rise, for me, the angle is a bit stressful on the wrist joint. Aside
from hand positions, I'll say that If you prefer less stem sticking up
