To save your bars from getting smashed up... to make your bars more comfy to grip if you put your hands on the ends of the grips.

Keep dirt out of the bars, keep your grips from ripping and sliding off, keep the bars from scraping you.

Handlesbars take detailed core samples of your stomach, if they dont have barcaps.

I'm a sponsored DH rider, of course I know how big they are.

They give you more hand options on climbs.

Maxxis, Cyclepath and Azonic.

Maxxis and Azonic are team sponsorships though, I get items well below cost.

I've been out with a broken leg which I shattered... I've been out for over 6 months and still am unable to walk.

I did freeride, to many close calls made me take up racing, then I started to BMX.

And Smittyben, I have nothing against you, just your stupid posts.

Never said they were stupid, I said you were stupid.

They dont make you fall.


A bar end on a BMX is a plug to stop from getting a core sample of your gut when you fall, a bar end on a MTB is to gain hand positions when climbing.
