BMX Bar Ends
The Purpose of BMX Bar Ends
Freestyle BMX bar ends serve to safeguard the ends of your handlebars from becoming worn or developing sharp edges, which could potentially cause injury. Properly covering the ends also minimises the risk of injury if you happen to fall awkwardly onto the handlebars. Additionally, this cost-effective BMX accessory gives your freestyle bike a polished appearance.
Installing BMX Bar Ends
For typical plastic bar ends, installation is straightforward—simply push or twist them onto the ends of the handlebars. The head of the bar end should rest against the handlebar metal. Other types of BMX bar end plugs might be crafted from steel or aluminium and often feature a bolt running through the centre, which is tightened with an Allen key, securing a mechanism against the inner wall of the bar tubing. While metal variants are pricier than their plastic counterparts, they tend to offer greater longevity due to their robustness.
BMX bar ends are a minor but crucial element of your set-up. Ensure they remain in good condition and replace them when they eventually wear out. While you're at it, refreshing your bike with new BMX grips is another excellent option. Explore our range by checking out BMX Grips.
