After having several flavors of the Bosco bars and really liking them for many reasons, I went back to the traditional Bullmoose bars on my Hunqapillar, but raised them as high as feasible. I like this setup even more. With the Boscos, my hands kept hurting and when riding rough terrain, I would find myself having to grip the bars very tightly (I don't think the reverse levers helped in this regard) to provent my hands from sliding forward. This created some tendinitis and hand pain that took a long time to go away.
The higher standard Bullmoose bars take care of my neck and hand pain, and I feel I have much better control of the bike now.
