The new Soma Clarence II and Hwy 17 handlebars feature unique modular extensions that can be angled like traditional bar ends or rotated to the side to create a Jones bar-style loop out front. Check them both out here…
Soma had added additional functionality and comfort to two of their most popular handlebars, the Highway One and the Clarence. Both feature custom-designed extensions that can be angled up or down like regular bar-ends or rotated to fine-tune the setup and to create a loop-style extension like the Jones H-Bar. Soma says the extensions are great for additional hand positions and also work well for mounting lights, GPS devices, or bags.
