Handlebar Extenders

Handlebar Extenders Buying Guide

Handlebar extenders give you an extra mounting bar above or in front of your existing handlebar. They are useful when lights, bells, phones or cycle computers take up too much space.

When is a handlebar extender useful?

A handlebar extender can help when your main handlebar is too crowded. It gives small accessories a separate mounting point, which can keep controls easier to reach.

What can be mounted on one?

Common uses include bike lights, bells, cycle computers and other lightweight handlebar accessories. However, heavy items should be avoided unless the extender and handlebar setup can safely support them.

Check your handlebar space

Before choosing one, check where the extender will clamp to the handlebar. Also, make sure brake levers, gear shifters and cables still move freely after fitting.

Choose the colour

Black is a simple option for most bikes. Red or blue can suit riders who want the extender to match other parts or add colour to the handlebar area.

Fitting tips

• Fit the extender to a clean section of handlebar.
• Position it where accessories remain easy to see and reach.
• Check that cables are not pulled tight or blocked.
• Tighten the clamp evenly so the extender does not rotate.
• Test all brakes, gears and mounted accessories before riding.
