It is a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-point mounting kit\u003c\/strong\u003e: the aluminum bar is anchored to the end of the handlebar and to a clamp on the straight section, forming a continuous loop around the hand. On a maxi enduro used year-round, it solves two different problems with the same component: a lever breaking in a stationary tip-over or a slow fall on light off-road terrain, and cold air hitting your hands directly in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to note before ordering: \u003cstrong\u003ethe protective plastics are not included\u003c\/strong\u003e.
