If you're thinking you'd be nuts to spend over two hundred dollars on some new handlebars for your bike, we wouldn't argue. That is, until you see what Helios Bars can do. Say hello to your first ever smart bike. Helios Bars add a variety of features to your bike like GPS tracking (so you can text your bike and find it's location if someone jacks it), LEDs that change color with your speed, and even turn-by-turn navigation. They'll significantly improve your visibility on the road thanks to an ultra-powerful front-facing light (5x brighter than the standard bike light) and lights in the bar ends that can act as turn signals. You can also play around and customize the lights to give off an ambient glow in a variety of colors too. These are simply the coolest handlebars we've ever come across.
