Hand Lock in short
Hand Lock is a bar end for mountain bikes from the Danish brand Stage Union. It is a plug with a flange that sits in the end of the handlebar. The outer edge of the hand rests against the flange, so the rider can hold the grip more loosely on long descents. It is made for enduro, downhill and e-MTB.
The flange is 3D printed in PA6-CF, carbon-fibre-reinforced nylon, and clamps inside the bar with a silicone expander and a single recessed bolt. Hand Lock V1 is designed and made in Denmark and is in stock now.
About Lucas
Stage Union is run by Lucas Berthelsen, an enduro rider, trail builder and suspension mechanic with a workshop in Sorø, Denmark. He missed bar ends while riding in Austria, could not get hold of any, and ended up drawing and printing his own. The first versions broke. V1 is the one that sat the way it should.
