Best Bar ends

In the vernacular, Barends are also known as croissants. The short extensions of the handlebars are not a current fashion, but enable ergonomically healthy and relaxed cycling. The angle of the stem must be taken into account when adjusting the angle of inclination and should correspond approximately to it, as this is the only way to guarantee the favourable position of the wrists. Barends offer additional grip options as they are anatomically shaped to enhance grip ergonomics while riding. Special bar ends developed in cooperation with sports physicians counteract painful or deaf hands. For example, they are made of steel, aluminium or carbon. If bar ends are made of carbon, they are particularly light and have a perfectly ergonomic design. They usually have an aluminium handlebar clamp, the clamping slot of which should be 180 degrees opposite the grip to provide maximum clamping force and reduce the compressive load. If there is a fall, the risk of damaging the top tube is lower. If you want to combine bar ends with carbon handlebars, you need aluminium plugs that also protect the handlebars in the event of a fall. Plugs are available in different diameters, which can be adapted to the handlebars. Barends offer more safety, especially on steep curves. Barends are available from various manufacturers. Their size varies from small to medium to large and is adapted to the type of bike.

This set is suitable for all comfort, city or trekking handlebars. The angled bar ends are ideal for retrofitting and are recommended for all approaches and descents in mountains. They are made of aluminium and have a high quality internal fastening which facilitates the assembly of the bar ends. The internal pipe diameter is given as 15.5 to 19 millimetres. They are available in black as a set of 2 and improve the grip position when used off-road.

Mounted inside the grips on the handlebars, the extended grip position provides an aerodynamically improved and relaxed seating position. The brakes are operated from the inner bar ends, which provides even more comfort. The bar ends are suitable for use in trekking bikes, MTBs and marathon races and are particularly light and small because they are made of fibre-reinforced plastic. However, they are not suitable for racing bike handlebars, but can be used with carbon handlebars. Remove the mounting handles. Due to the relaxed and aerodynamic position of the elbows, they allow maximum speed and relieve the arm, shoulder and back muscles perfectly. A natural position of the hands is also possible and ensures relaxed riding even on longer tours.
