🚵 Carbon Fiber Mountain Bike Handlebar Ends - Platt Bike Bar Ends for MTB Review

This is a great pair of lightweight bar ends. Very light but durable and comfortable. Tip: Install inside the handlebar, not at the end of the handlebar, for best performance and comfort.

They look great but only fit small diameter handrails. I have Cannondale and they don't fit. After fully unscrewing the screw and stretching the hole, no, and now I have a small scar and can't go back.

actually I use them as inner rod ends. Gives you a different hand position and makes you a little more aerodynamic as your elbows are inside and out. Insert them just in front of the brakes and you can use the brakes when leaning towards the bottom of the bar ends.

The shape of the ends of these rods is pleasing, but they are not symmetrical. They slope inwards slightly when mounted on the handlebars, with the right one tilted a little further. I ordered two pairs and both were like this. You get what you expect, sloppy manufacture I think.

I love their looks, their ergonomic shape is good and they are easy to install. Can't recommend it highly though as 1) the smooth surface gets slippery very quickly when riding (I think I'll have to wear grippy gloves), 2) the straight shape means you won't be able to comfortably turn your wrist to grab it (my next set will be more like an elbow) and iii) the plastic cracked the first time I fell a tree while driving.

End caps make the installation look professional. The handlebar tips performed extremely well on the 25-mile trail and offer an additional hand position to reduce fatigue and numbness. Minus 1 star for the small size of the grip itself (to fit better in larger hands they need to be a bit wider/longer) and the…
