R50 Mirror
Description
We believe in mirrors like we believe in bells. Ride with one for a week and you'll never again want to do without.
Our R-series is available in two mirror sizes to fit drop bar bikes, a 35mm and a 50mm diameter. They both provide a very similar view but the smaller mirror is more challenging to use, a tradeoff for the sake of minimal form. We consider the R35 our "pro" (vanity) mirror and the R50 our everyday touring model.
Designed to complement a modern drop bar bicycle. Not compatible with extreme bar geometries or positions. Some Enve bars and others without standard bar plugs also may not work. Email photos of your setup if you have any questions.
Why ride with a mirror?
Mirrors enable a safer experience by providing a more comprehensive view of other road users. This extra awareness also extends social cohesion on group rides and can be leveraged for strategic advantage in competition. Any of these benefits alone might make a mirror worth the money. Together they will transform your riding experience.

Customer Reviews
I like the size and clarity. I would love to test same mirror with just a little less convexity. Only to make approaching vehicles appear a big bigger, sooner.
Would you drive a car without a rearview mirror? Yet so many cyclists do not use mirrors. This discreet product from Spurcycle is another hit. It works better than a helmet or sunglass mirror because you set and forget it. It doesn’t get jostled around or move like other handlebar mirrors and the optics are great and not distorted by any parabolic attempts to increase the field of vision. My advice is to get off the fence and get one, try it and then get a few more for the n+1 bikes most of us have.
Easy to install. Nice wide view.
This mirror is really easy to install and the design is so elegant. I use the Garmin radar taillight and the mirror really enhances my awareness of "what's behind." I would not expect less from Spurcycle.
I lead the occasional small group ride on city streets and like to keep an eye on my flock. I had been looking for a low-pro mirror for a while (used a few, didn't like them), so when Spurcycle launched this one, I was first in the queue. Build quality is incredible, I don't knock my knee against it, and you can easily adjust on the fly. When my dad finally got a new bike with drops, I immediately sent this bad boy his way.
I need a mirror because I’ve lost 80% of my hearing and can’t rely on hearing traffic by sound. I’ve tried a bar end mirror that folded up into the bar end but they kept breaking at the ball joint and were too convex to get a good field of view. The proof of this mirror will be how far back I can see traffic coming when riding local roads where cars go faster. Around town they work fine and I’ll probably use the bigger mirror if this one if I need it.
I have been using this R35 mirror for several weeks now, I love it! Easy to install. I would recommend to anyone.
Great mirror, very stable and easy install. Glad I went with the 50 not the smaller 30 as it gives good visibility area.
Love the mirror. Great, wide-angle visibility!!
Easy to install, and adds more feeling of safety while riding!
