Bar ends are simple accessories that mount on the flat or riser handlebar ends. They provide an extra spot to grip and are useful for climbing or extended bike riding.
Bar ends move your hand position. They distribute the weight, decreasing strain through your shoulders and wrists, and facilitate easier pedalling when climbing hills. Bar ends are used by mountain bikes as well as gravel riders for extra grip when climbing hills or for shifting hand positions when riding for extended periods of time. Simply insert the bar end into the handlebar, secure with the bolt, then set the angle for an ergonomic fit. Although they are not found on traditional road bikes, bar ends can be of great use for riders who need extra comfort as well as control for various types of terrain.
