Bar Ends
The Cure for Numb Hands: Adding Extra Grip Positions. Bar Ends are small extensions fitted to the ends of flat handlebars (MTB, Hybrid, Touring) that provide crucial alternative hand positions. This simple upgrade is highly effective for relieving pressure on the sensitive ulnar and median nerves in your palms, which cause hand numbness and pain on long rides. They are particularly beneficial for climbing, as they allow you to pull up on the bars, generating greater leverage and mimicking the powerful, biomechanically neutral hand position of standing out of the saddle. Our selection includes ergonomic Wing Grips (which integrate a palm platform and a small bar end) and traditional curved aluminum extensions. Installation is key: they must be rotated to the exact angle that keeps your wrist in a straight, neutral position.
