Verified OwnerAmazing piece of tech that gives me a lot of confidence in the bike to know that a plastic piece has been replaced with an attractive and much more functional metal piece.
A note:
It took a long while to find proper instructions on the install for the piece, which would have been nice to have included in the packaging. I would also recommend having an additional option at checkout to buy a small packet of Green Locktite or whatever recommended product you have for installation as that is a necessary piece for install.

I have been using the original Ergo Control bar ends on my touring bike for about 10 years, they are finally starting to wear out after 50,000 plus kilometers.
I was super excited to see these bar ends reissued because I am about to start a 2 year bike tour around the world.
I received a set of the new version today and can only give them 3 stars…
They have a different shape than the originals.
The new ones are very squared off on the outside of the palm, unlike the originals which contoured off softly downward.
The new finish is ok, I have to try them for a while to see if they are as comfortable and durable as the old ones.
If you know Oury grips, then that describes the tactile feel of the old ones, sticky without being sticky if you know what I mean.
Now for the worst part… the “universal lock system” simply means no lock system. The originals mated with locking grips which had the double lock system or you could simply put them next to any grips you happened to be using.
The new version doesn’t have any mating lock system, so if you use grips that have a double lock, you will have to have a ring between the grip and the bar end. That is a bit disappointing.
The new Ergo Control bar ends are still the best bar ends of this type on the market, but missing some of the great features of the originals. Too bad…
