I have a bike(specialized sirrus x 3.0) I’m considering getting different handlebars ( surly moloko )for. I have no experience changing bars and am seeing if anyone has any insights as to if this will fit together or not.

You should be fine as long as the clamp diameter of the Moloko bar matches the clamp diameter of your current handlebars. The clamp diameter is the diameter of the bar right in the middle where it attaches to the stem. It’s usually either 31.8mm, 25.4mm, or 26mm, but you should be able to look it up online for the bars you want to buy. From your pictures it looks like everything is 31.8 so you should be good to go, but I’d look it up before buying just to be sure.
They’ll fit as long as clamp diameter of your stem matches the bar, could always get a shim if your clamp is too large too.
Either way, I suggest scooping the Moloko bars from REI for their return policy. I got the Moloko bars and learned they weren’t really for me, REI took them back with no issue. But hopefully they work well for you, lots of people swear by em!
Sure. Just lose the bag.

You may need longer cfables if you change it. But should be find otherwise.
Looks like you already have 31.8mm bars.
