Profile Design Boxer Bar End

Bought these to give me a few different positions for my hands while riding my bike. PROs: 1) Feel sturdy-I've been using for about 2 weeks and so far, they are well made and have not slipped one bit 2) Easy to Install. Simply slide over your rubber handle bar grips and slide these on the end, adjust to desired angle and tighten. I'd recommend re-tightening after a few rides just to ensure that they're still tight. 3) Finish is DURABLE- On first ride with them installed, I wrecked. Bike was resting on the left hand bar-end. Not one scratch. My friend who has a set from Specialized couldn't get over it and kept saying "I can't believe they didn't scuff all up!" No Cons. Don't get me wrong...the plastic plug in the end of the bar-end could be a little higher quality and could be a little more flush cut to the bar-end's shape, but for under $18, I'm not going to split hairs. They work great, look great, and are inexpensive...period

Solid item. Great quality. Changes your ride in big ways.

Was easy to attach, you have to cut out a little bit of the handle grips on your bike for this to fit. Once you had the grip trimmed, getting these on was quick - need a hex screw driver. Used it for only one ride - felt lot comfortable on a long ride - offers an upright holding position. Packing came with end caps to go on to the handle bars - leaves a clean look. Prominent white brand name on handles - It may be my only negative ..hope fully it goes away after a few rides.

I really like the way the handle extensions can be used for a more 'upright' ride. My bicycle is a Brooklyn Franklin 3, upright step-through. Very easy to sit up, but the handlebars don't extend back as far as I'd like I was still hunched over a bit, and would rather sit fully upright and be able to hold the handlebars. Placing these on a near-flat angle, aiming towards me, allows for a more 'true' upright riding position. Very nice. They feel durable and they fit right on the handlebars with no issue. Very easy to install and hold their position.

Bought this for a bike tour cause I had flat bars and stupid grips. It was an absolute necessity and worked great for my trip, actually took the grips off completely and wrapped about 1.5-2 feet of grip tape around the whole thing, from the shifters to the tips of the bar ends This way I was able to use at least three positions that kept my hands from going numb, basic bar grip, outside at the corners grip, and then a top grip on the bent part of the bar ends at the top. Definitely light material and on a 1200 mile use so far on that tour have not moved a mm since I installed them. Very happy that I bought these. I have normal sized hands and I can say they were bigger than I needed, in fact they really stick up and almost look intimidating to get hit with, they give the bike a more aggressive look. I'm posting a pic to show what you can do, I wrapped the tape around the whole corner, it wasn't perfect but it did work as a grip and didn't move, I'll redo it later, the duct/electrical tape in the pic is like that cause this was a modification on the road, I had already done the tape at the top and was running out.

Good, solid pair of bar ends at a very good price. Easy to install, offer extra hand positions while riding.

I have been using these bar ends for over a month now and am very pleased with them. The Profile Designs bar ends were very easy to install, are sturdy, lightweight, and offer me greater hand placement versatility while out riding. Formerly I was using the factory installed ergo handles, which had a short (2 inch?) bar end. The handles were, in fact, very comfortable. However the short bar extension, while not nearly long enough, had already broken - I suspect it was plastic rib inside the rubber nub. I really wanted something that was sturdy, reasonably lightweight, and offered ergonomic grip options. The Profile Designs bar ends fit the bill nicely. While I liked the new ergonomics with the bar ends I added handlebar tape for increased comfort. Also, pro tip: I double-wrapped the straight handlebar section between the shifters and the bar ends. These bar ends are sturdy, lightweight, comfortable, and allow me to relax my shoulders and elbows a bit when I'm out for the Sunday morning coffee ride.

Incredible deal for the quality of these habdle extensions. Tge screw to tighten the grip to handlebar is ore lubricated, and the tolerance on the product is excellent. Function wise, these handle extensions really change the experience when riding, gives me more leverage and options for control when riding . I am able to place my full weight on them and they did not shift, I am 6'0 240lb. Highly recommended.

Excellent as expected

Lots of hand positions. 😊 Fast delivery.

Habe diese Barends schon an mehreren Rädern verbaut.. Gebrauchtauglichkeit und Qualität sind gut, Ist auch für den härteren Radeinsatz durchaus zu empfehlen.

I bought these for my 2002 Devinci Rio after considering switching to drop bars and I'm glad I went with this option. They were really easy to install, very sturdy, product feels like quality. Also they don't say it anywhere in the description but there are endcaps included with the bar ends for your stock bar, which was really nice because I'm missing one. The tube these are made of is slightly larger diameter than the handlebar, to allow people to use them without any grip or handle tape I assume. My stock bar grips were getting really old and falling apart so I tried blending the bar ends onto the handlebar with handle tape, it turned out great. Also one thing to note is the clamping area on these is quite narrow, compared to other bar ends I've seen they seem much easier to fit and the clamp area flows beautifully into the tube piece, rather than being a rough welded construction like other alternatives. Overall very happy with my purchase, they give a lot of hand position options and allow for much more natural positions when going fast or climbing a hill.

Awesome bar ends
