in addition to the Ergon combination grip/bar end is their Phorm grip line,
a short bar end is molded in one piece with the ergonomic shaped grip

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the Bontrager Satellite handlebar she has isn't compatible with those regular grips. The Satellite is shaped so that it needs Bontrager elastomers on both ends. (The grip covers wrap around them.) I think that's why the Satellite handlebars are sold together with Bontrager's own grips.

Fortunately, Bontrager do sell bar end adaptors that can be attached to the Satellite handlebar. Since my wife is pretty happy with the existing grips themselves, she's leaning towards buying the adaptors.
