I don't know the answer but I googled it and the bars are 25.4mm clamp diameter so I'm guessing that neither size of that lever will work.
Probably need something like this https://www.cycleclubsports.com/p-118...FaQ9QgodokMA1A

Now that seau grateau did your research for you and you (hopefully) figured out that the 23.8mm version will fit the bar you plan to purchase, here's a bit of advice for you if you don't mind?
Don't do it!
Yeah, the E-lever is very cool-looking & light. I fell for it myself and had to have one. But speaking from experience, I can tell you that it is quite uncomfortable to use due to its squared-off edges and worse is the fact that it is not very effective at all, it lacks pulling power.
You should give some consideration to any of the myriad of cross-top/interrupter levers available...

That's a personal favorite.

No, people like you that are too damn lazy to Google themselves are as you describe.
Do you realize it would take less keystrokes to find out for yourself than ask a question that presents you as an idiot??
