Well, the only two bars in the picture that have a stem presented are the Bullmoose and Bosco Bullmoose, since they were the only two at the time that came as one piece with a stem. The rest of the bars have their stem length equalized at the clamping area, which Oli superimposed over the

I have the Bullmoose on my Hunq. and even though the bike is new to me, I have used the same set of bars on two other bikes. For rough riding I think they are great. On my 61cm AHH, I use a 46cm Nitto Noodle with/ a 90mm stem. Using the cork ergon grips on the bullmoose allows you to dial in
