SHOTGUN Shotgun 2.0 Child Bike Handlebars for kids MTB — 250mm bars with 19mm undersized grips

Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 is a dedicated child handlebar attachment that gives young passengers their own secure grips and upright position when riding on an adult mountain bike.

Designed to pair with the Shotgun mountain bike child seat and to clamp to modern MTB bars, the Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 creates a safer, more comfortable ride for children by keeping their hands away from brakes, gears, and dropper posts. Built for off-road use, these compact bars and undersized grips are tested for durability and fit the common handlebar diameters you’ll find on contemporary mountain bikes.

How does the Shotgun 2.0 improve safety on the trail?

The attachment gives children a dedicated place to hold on so their hands don’t stray into moving parts or controls. It promotes a steadier, more upright posture which reduces fidgeting and distractions for the rider in front.

• Separate bars keep hands away from brakes, shifters and dropper posts
• Upright grip position reduces leaning and shifting weight unexpectedly
• Manufactured and batch-tested to industry safety standards

Will these handlebars fit my mountain bike?

Shotgun 2.0 is engineered to be compatible with the most common modern MTB setups. The clamp design accommodates 25.4mm, 31.8mm and 35mm handlebar diameters and works alongside stems up to 75mm wide, making it suitable for both flat and riser bars.

• Fits 25.4mm, 31.8mm, and 35mm bars
• Works with stems up to 75mm width
• Includes full rubber protection to prevent scuffs or slipping

What comfort features help little hands hold on?

The bars are 250mm wide with custom 19mm undersized grips made specifically for small hands. The grips are warmer and tackier than standard adult grips, improving contact in cool or wet conditions and making the ride more comfortable for longer trips.

• 250mm bar width for stable hand placement
• 19mm undersized grips designed for child hand size
• High-friction rubber for better grip and warmth

How simple is installation and day-to-day use?

Shotgun designed the 2.0 for fast fitting and removal so you can add or remove the child bars without tools in most situations. The clamp and rubberized contact points protect your handlebars during repeated installs and keep the attachment secure on rough terrain.

• Quick-fit clamp for fast mounting and removal
• Rubber protection prevents handlebar damage
• Lightweight construction keeps overall bike balance intact

Who this is for: The Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 suits parents and guardians who carry small children on an adult MTB and want a purpose-built solution to improve safety, comfort, and rider focus.

If you need a secure, easy-to-fit handlebar option that fits modern mountain bikes and supports little hands, the Shotgun 2.0 is engineered for that role.
