"These are brilliant, they are the perfect size for reduced weight but provide enough leverage for huge amounts of power. They also look the part with the wcs colours on them, and look ever better when you have the rest of the finishing set to match!
I got the white ones and they seem to stay nice and shiny even after a lot of use.
Great buy"

Great ends

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit

"These bar ends work really well. Light but no flex, long enough to really help on climbs but don't get in the way on technical stuff."

Pros: Lightweight

Cons: Unadjustable

"These are super light, and exactly what I was looking for.

Only issue is the are slightly off centre, so when fitting I had to remove the lock-on ends of my grips to get the grip close enough to the bar-end. Otherwise, excellent."

amazingly simple

Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight

Cons: a little short in length

"I ride a hybrid at the moment and find the handle bar position a little wide on longer distances. I purchased these bar ends and fitted them inside my brake levers giving me a nice narrow alternative postion. For a small mount of money, this has really made a big difference to me, the only slight issue is that they are a little short in length - other than that a perfect buy!"

Comfy Bar Ends

Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight

"I have owned several different Ritchey WCS products over the years and found them well made, light and durable these bar ends are no different.
They have a nice comfortable tow in which reduces fatigue on the your wrists. In summary a great, lightweight, well made product and at a reasonable price."

Simple is best!

Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight

"Lovely simple SL "Super Light" barends by Ritchey.

I debated for ages over a set of simple lightweight barends, wanting to make sure I avoided anything that would be too bulky and ruin the natural balance of the front end/steering. Ended up opting for these and am very happy with them. I was concerned at first that at only about 8cm long, that they would be too small. However, having used them on my XC / training bike on and off road, they're perfect - long enough to give a few different grip options, but no more than is necessary. Hence, unobtrusive and very light. As with all Ritchey WCS kit, the build quality is excellent and graphics nice. I now have these paired with Ritchey WCS Bars, Stem and Headset.

Cons? None really (given that the price even compares favourably - which isn't always the case for Ritchey WCS). Forget about expensive carbon imitations! Recommended."

Ok for price

Pros: Adjustable, Great Value, Lightweight

Cons: Poor Fit, uncomfortable

"Had some specialized ergo carbons before which broke so bought these as cheaper replacement, they do the job but they aren't very comfortable and to be honest I'm hardly ever on them due to this but they were a lot cheaper than ergo carbon so I suppose you get what u pay for."

Light but uncomfortable

Pros: High Quality, Lightweight

Cons: uncomfortable, cold in winter

"These bar ends are incredibly light and the short length isn't too bad. Unfortunately the round shape and narrow diameter of the tube makes them uncomfortable and the fact that they're metal makes them incredibly cold in winter. I've sinced swapped to Easton carbon bar ends which are more comfortable except for the large clamp area and which are warm in winter!"
