Bar ends can enhance the handling of flat-bar bicycles. Bar ends: Bar ends are also known as "bullhorns" or "ram horns" (excluding road bike aero bars or TT bars). Generally, long and curved ones are called bullhorns, while short and straighter ones are called ram horns. Originally designed mainly for mountain bikes, they are installed at both ends of straight handlebars, with a few installed on riser handlebars. Functions of bar ends: 1. They provide more riding positions and body angles during cycling. 2. They make it easier to pull and exert force when climbing hills. 3. They offer some protection in case of accidental falls. The installation angle of bar ends varies from person to person, but they are typically positioned forward and slightly upward.
