Made for Little Hands
The custom 19 mm grips are smaller than standard adult grips, making them easier for children to hold. The bars encourage a more upright riding position and give little riders their own place to hold, rather than reaching for the rider’s brake levers or shifters.
Easy One-Minute Fitting
The Allen-key fitting makes it easy to fit, remove or adjust the 2.0 Handlebars in approximately one minute. It is a straightforward addition to an existing Shotgun seat setup, whether you ride together occasionally or head out as a family most weekends.
Fits a Wide Range of Bikes
The 2.0 Handlebars fit flat or riser-style adult handlebars in 25.4 mm, 31.8 mm and 35 mm diameters. Rubber protection at the clamp helps look after your handlebar finish, while compatibility with stems up to 75 mm wide covers many modern mountain bikes and e-MTBs.

Who Is It For?
For families using a Kids Ride Shotgun child seat who want to give their young passenger a more comfortable position on the bike. They are an especially worthwhile addition for regular family trail rides.
Our Thoughts
These are a simple upgrade that makes a Shotgun seat setup feel more complete. The smaller grips work well for little hands, and the more upright position is comfortable for young riders while keeping their hands away from the adult rider’s controls.
Important Setup Advice
Confirm your adult handlebar diameter and stem width before ordering. Fit the bars securely according to the supplied instructions, check clearance around cables and controls, and make sure your child cannot interfere with braking or shifting while riding.
