Exactly. I have three very usable positions. The grips for full upright scenic turtle pace, The hooks are 100mms in front of the grips for buzzing along at a quicker pace and out of the saddle climbing, and the flats by the stem for headwinds. The flats are actually quite a bit lower than the saddle, so it's a pretty versatile.
