Where can one purchase bar end grip, like those found on Specialzied Sirrus Bikes?

I've been looking all over the place and can't find a seller who carries bar end grips like those found on the high-end Specialized Sirrus 6.0 and Carbon Elite/Expert models. These are some time referred to as horns. Anyone know where these can be purchased?

Guessing Covid-19 stopped the production of these?

Any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Moe Howard

Not exactly like those but I liked the Ergon GP4s that I used to have on my Hybrid and there are several other sizes of them available.

I don't believe you can buy them. I have not seen them anywhere except on the bikes.

Not the same, but these aren't bad: https://www.cyclingkinetics.com/prod...0aAlXfEALw_wcB

insight?.....if your bars are narrower than the width of your shoulders the end grips might give you an unwanted locked-in feeling.

Not the same, but these aren't bad: (link)/QUOTE]yea, saw that and many others, really prefer the originals. Looking to get the original and was hoping someone changed out their grips would like to sell theirs.

thanks again,

The Specialized ones seem to be unique to the Sirrus.

I would go with the Giant version, if you can't get the Specialized ones as an aftermarket item.

Most Giant dealers should have them or will be able to order them (https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/co...ips-w--bar-end).

Ergon are more expensive, but once you use them, you understand. I basically refuse to use anything other than Ergon grips (S size are amazing for a precision grip: https://www.ergonbike.com/en/product.html?a=griffe).

thank you. So far the Giant grips are most like the original grips, will do some research on them. But still got my heart on the original grip and ends.

thanks again.
