Barends are most commonly used on mountain bikes and youth bikes. We have bar ends for MTB handlebars in different shapes and materials. There are several things to consider when choosing the right bar ends for your needs.
It's very individual what people prefer when choosing bar ends. However, most people choose to go with the models that are ergonomic, i.e. where they are shaped to fit the hand. Short, teardrop-shaped barends are also popular among those who just want more hand positions to choose from - mainly for longer runs in forest and rugged terrain.
There's not much to be gained from mountain bike bar ends in either aluminum or carbon. Carbon barends obviously offer the lowest weight and are therefore used by ambitious mountain bikers. However, the experience of comfort and the feeling of safety should always guide your choice of bar ends.
