Locked-In Bar Ends
Wolf Tooth Locked-In Bar Ends give riders more control with reduced fatigue for gravity riding. A firm, ergonomic outboard flange supports the rider's hand allowing for a lighter grip on the bars and reduced arm pump so you can push your bike harder for longer. We designed these in collaboration with World Cup downhill athlete Joe Breeden.
More Control, Less Fatigue
Our engineers worked side-by-side with World Cup downhill athletes to iterate the shape and durometer of the Locked-In Bar Ends for a comfortable, confident ergonomic fit. The result is a bar end that drastically reduces rider fatigue and arm pump, allowing you to have more control from the top of the fun all the way to bottom.
Lighten Your Grip, Push Your Limits
No more white knuckle descents. Locked-In Bar Ends let you loosen your grip and load the grips and bar ends as necessary during descents. This allows you to freely push the bike down into full-tilt corners for more grip, all while reducing pressure on your hands.
Protect Your Digits
Locked-In Bar Ends extend forward and shield your hands and pinky fingers from tree strikes, with a chamfered leading edge that shrugs off, rather than catching, obstacles that might take you down.
E-Bike Game Changer
E-bikes are heavy, which require extra strength for maneuvering. Locked-In Bar Ends provide additional points of leverage to make it easier for handling e-bikes while riding downhill.
Co-Developed with Joe Breeden
Developed alongside Joe Breeden and Nukeproof Axess Racing with input from top World Cup DH racers around the globe.
Simple. Robust. Locked-In.
Our Locked-In Bar end construction employs a simple keyed interface between the lobed, anti-rotation cap and internal wedge to ensure a tight fit and a strong mechanical lock.
Durable, Ergonomic Support
Finely tuned comfort and support for your hands that allows you to ride harder all while reducing fatigue and improving control.
Anti-Rotation Design
Patent-Pending lobed interface prevents the bar ends from rotating within the handlebar during pinned descents.
Engineered For Speed
Built to withstand the rigors of a World Cup DH season, Locked-In Bar Ends are the result of years of iterative development.
Closed-End Grip Punch
Easily convert closed-end grips for full compatibility. Our specially designed punch tool provides a clean, factory-like cut for optimal bar end installation.
Watch The Film
Wolf Tooth Locked-In Bar Ends give riders ultimate control and reduced fatigue during high speed technical riding and racing. This design is a collaboration with World Cup downhill athlete Joe Breeden.
- Allows the rider to use the sides of their hands to push against the ends of the bars for increased control and reduced fatigue
- A firm ergonomic rubber outboard flange supports and locks in the riders hand allowing for a lighter grip on the bars and reduced arm pump
- Protects the hand/pinky finger
Compatibility
- Compatible with most carbon and aluminum handlebars with an 18.0mm or wider internal diameter.
- Use of the Locked-In Bar Ends requires a grip with an open end. Many grips with closed ends can still be made to work by punching out the closed end. We sell a punch for this here.
- Some grips may have a removable bar end but still have a small lip on the plastic liner that keeps the grip from being able to be pushed inboard from the end of the bar [Ergon GA2, GDH]. We recommend removing this lip by sanding it off using a Dremel tool.
- What grips don't work:
- Grips with angled ends [Ergon GE1 Evo]
- We don’t suggest using grips with outboard lock on clamps, especially if the outboard clamp is an integrated bar end [Chromag Squarewave]
Installation
- Move grips inboard away from the end of the handlebars.
- Insert the bar end and lightly tighten the bolt with a 4mm hex wrench. Don't worry about the angle yet.
- Make sure that the hexagonal pieces of the cap and wedge are interfacing before installing.
- Move the grip back out until it is in contact with the bar end and tighten the lock collar on the grip.
- Loosen bar end, adjust angle, tighten to 3Nm.
- After the wedge expands into the rubber, the rubber will relax. You may need to torque the bar ends multiple times until the bolt stops spinning.
- Check brake lever location. Most likely, you should move your brake lever outboard slightly, so that the outside of your hand is in contact with the bar end while you are still comfortably grabbing the brake.
Helpful Tips
- The angle of your bar ends is critical and differs for each rider based on hand position, wrist "sag", brake position, and even type of riding.
- If you feel any hot spots, a quick angle adjustment is all you need.
- Your grips do need to be moved in slightly. The bar end needs to go over the bar per our installation instructions.
- Your brake levers may need to be adjusted out slightly for proper reach.
