Counterpunch

$24 CAD

WHY?

The Counterpunch makes clipping trees less problematic by protecting the 5th digit and metacarpal from impact, greatly reducing the chance of a broken bone. The curved surface slides rather than grabs, making it less likely the bar will hang up and throw the rider. As soon as testing began, several riders reported improved control, and declared it the top reason to run them, which is something that typical MTB handguards don't offer.

WATCH THE COUNTERPUNCH STRIKING A TREE

Not just a slight clip, but a full on tree strike, on chunky bark The Counterpunch slides, not grabs. Saves a crash, saves your hand and maybe saves your season. People often ask why they don’t curve more over your pinky. It’s because they don’t need to; less is more.

HAND POSITION

Like to run the meat of your palm off the end of the bar? You know it puts you more at risk but control is more important than safety, right? The Counterpunch still allows you to do this comfortably and safely, even if you really like to hang it out.

LOAMLAB GRIP

By making the rubber eccentric to the bar, and strategically removing areas of the inner core, the LoamLab grip is a thin (29mm) lock-on with the comfort of a thick slide-on. This makes the top of the grip level from end to end, without a pressure point normally found on thin concentric grips. The cutaway core at the thumb creates a thicker flexible pad that absorbs vibration for better traction with less gripping force, and the uniform surface there makes gloveless riding comfortable. The LoamLab grip is also available in a Single Clamp version if the Counterpunch is not your style.

COMPATIBILITY

Mates perfectly with the LoamLab dual clamp grip. Also compatible with ODI dual clamp grips by replacing the outer lock ring with the Counterpunch. Or simply install it on the end of the bar with the open-end grip of your choice.

Counterpunch without grips: 68g per pair
Counterpunch with grips: 164g per pair

Finger saver

I have bought 3 sets of the counter punch bar ends , I put them on my bike and my son’s bike , saves the pinky finger another way of help controlling the bike
Easy to install , great addition to the bike

Finger savers

I love my new counter punch bar ends , small and discreet . I have injured my pinky fingers in the past and recently hit a bank. They saved my finger.

They work, definitely have saved my hands multiple times.

Already saved me from a tumble

I have several trails near me where the trees seem to jump out at you when least expected. It was worth ordering these and importing into the US. It wasn’t long after that that I saw them in action when I nicked a tree at speed and continued on without incident. They even helped me at an indoor bike park where I accidently took a tight turn too wide and they simply slid along the brick wall without upsetting the handlebars. I could tell how bad that could have been from the scrapes left on them. Would definitely buy again.

Ride with comfidence

I like this for hand placement and peace of mind for saving my pinky in case of a crash. They fit perfectly on my Eragon grips. I also like that you can rest your hands like XC bar ends.
