For the kind of mountain biking a Hunqapillar can handle, the Jones Bar is hard to beat. The angle is perfect and the 710 mm version has a ton of hand positions you can use, depending on riding conditions. Also, the Jones bar is the most confidence inspiring bar I've ridden. My Hunqapillar felt good with a regular MTB bar but it feels much better with a Jones Bar.
