What Handlebar appendages: What they are and what they are used for

Also called extensions or appendages, they are an additional component that is applied to the handlebars. 

They are used to provide support in certain phases of our training on the bike, for example when we have to push uphill or simply to assume a more comfortable position. 

They are essential for the Triathlon cyclist who assumes a more aerodynamic position. 

The choice of handlebar appendages for racing bikes or MTBs is very subjective and varies according to the specific needs of the cyclist. 

The handlebar appendages for racing bikes differ from the classic handlebar appendages used on city bikes or trekking bikes in that they must adapt to the rider's hand and elbow in an excellent way. 

This accessory differs in shape and length as there are various models and sizes on the market to suit the most varied needs of bikers, whether for racing, MTB or Triathlon. 

The choice of bike handlebar extensions and appendages depends on the type of bike you have in front of you: appendages for racing bikes, Gravel and Trekking bikes, bike handlebar extensions and other details that can make the difference when racing.

Generally the handlebar extensions are made of Aluminum and being cheaper are within everyone's reach, but there are also many models in carbon that are applied not only in the professional cyclist but also to the amateur who seeks an extreme reduction of weight.
