Spur Cycle is known for over-engineering simple things to make them work better than we could ever imagine, and the new Pro Mirror is a perfect example. Somehow, the Bend, Oregon-based outfit has taken one of the dorkeist cycling accessories, and made it… cool?

The Pro Mirror comes in 35mm and 50mm options, and silver or black, both made from 6061-T6 aluminum with a convex, tempered-glass mirror that, despite its size, offers a wide FOV and great clarity so you can see approaching cars or the riders you just dropped.
Installation is tool-free, and swapping between bikes is incredibly easy. It fits 14–20mm drop bars, and each one is backed by a lifetime warranty. Spur has really thought of everything with this, and for just $69 USD (nice), safety just got a significant dose of cool.

The execution is simple, and the function is really dialed in. Installation is as easy as it gets, and the design, as you would expect from Spur, is impeccable, and doesn’t look out of place on any drop bar build. Safe is cool with the Pro Mirror. Like most mountain bikers who dabble in road and gravel, I also really hate riding in such close proximity to cars, and having more awareness of what’s going on behind me is something we can take for granted when venturing outside of the safety of the local trails.
