Description
The mirror is made of the super clear automotive-grade glass lens and has a shutter-proof function. Compared to the most bike mirrors in the market, this mirror is NOT made of cheap and environment unfriendly plastic acrylic. It is much clear and also it is slightly convex surface so you can get a better view to see what’s behind you!
With the Hafny HD Automotive Anti-glare Blue Lens, it provides 50~60% anti-glare function in the bright environment. The level of the anti-glare function is widely used in the car. Why not using on your bikes? it is also slightly convex surface so you can get a better view to see what’s behind you! It is ideal for bikers when you usually ride during the day time and allows your eyes to feel more comfortable during the ride.

This would work well with a bike that allows you to mount it flush with the inside of the handle grip. However, my ebike has several things on the bar, horn, display controller, brakes, etc. Not enough real estate on the bar, and if not mounted at the very closest to the end of the bar, this mirror doesn’t extend far enough. You can use it, but will get your shoulder/arm in your views.I had to resort to getting a extension second bar that attaches to my primary handlebar. I extended that all the way to the left and put mirror on very end, and now it functions well. However this extension bar isn’t super stable, so I get a lot of vibration with the mirror, but it still serves its purpose.The glass in the mirror is very good quality and provides a good view.The mounting is simple and when tightened, it does stay in place well.

The mirror was easy to install. I have been using it for a few weeks and enjoy the rear view that it provides. The only thing that a buyer should know is that it requires an adjustment to the view every time you ride the bike. The mirror is easily bumped, knocking it out of view. Still I endorse the mirror.

I do most of my biking in Rails-to Trails. For the last few years I have used a helmet mounted rear view mirror when biking. The problem with helmet mirrors is that it demands that I swivel/turn/move my head to just the right position in order to get a clear view of what is behind me. I got tired of having to do so much maneuvering just to check the rear!So I did some research, read the reviews and took a chance on this mirror. What a difference now!I mounted it on the left side and above the handle bar, in the horizontal orientation. I took my first ride with the new mirror yesterday. All I need to do now is simply move my eyes to the left and I get a clear view of what and who is behind me. The fact that it is a wide mirror (for its size) means I get a very good look at a wide area in the back! I found myself checking the rear more often than I would with the helmet mirror. It has added a measure of safety to my riding.One of my pet peeves when biking are the “marathon” bikers that appear out of nowhere, seemingly trying to break some kind of speed record. One moment there are nowhere to be seen and the next they are passing you at the speed of light! Most of them don’t even have the courtesy of giving a verbal and/or bell warning of their approach! This mirror now allows me to be on the lookout for those kamikaze riders.So yes, I highly, highly recommend this mirror. I read in some of the reviews that is tends to get loose. That should not be a big concern since it comes equipped with an Allen wrench to tighten the 2 screws.For those of you that do a lot of street riding, installing 2 mirrors, one on each side, should give you clear and wide area view when riding in traffic. Safe biking and happy trails!

I sought out this mirror in particular because it had a slight fish-eye for better viewing angles, it mounted to the handlebar, and had no sharp edges to injure me in the event of a crash.This works quite well! I do with the mounting arm was a touch longer. I have wide grips on my bike, and if it stuck out another inch or so, it would be perfect

I had a minor biking accident on the Carriage Roads in Acadia Nat’l Park and the mirror snapped off my bike when I went down. We knew right away that we would replace it with the same product because we have been very happy with the Hafny mirror. Good visibility. Easy to install and adjust. Even the few days I was without it I missed it! I highly recommend this mirror!

I’m riding on road, sometimes at 15+ mph. I don’t like looking over my shoulder at that speed. This device gives me the info I am looking for in a glance! Do I have to tilt my head a little to check thoroughly? Sure. But with that quick sighting I’m eyes forward and safely zooming along.

I went through testing a few mirrors by Hafny. They’re all great but not all mirrors fit all bikes. This is a great mirror and I say go for this one if you don’t know what to buy. Bar end mirrors are a weird fit for wider bars and unless you choose a giant mirror that extends your left bar by about 7″, all you’ll see is your hip or elbow. The reason this works is the ball in the mirror itself so you can actually mount and angle it to see past your body on cruiser or swept back e MTBs. Others may LOOK like this one, but they are fixed at the end and harder to position properly when you’re on the road. Go for it.

Been wanting a mirror for awhile, went with the low glare version and it’s great.I was worried a little about the size, but it’s totally fine. I can see everything I really need to, and now I’m not having to twist around to see what’s behind me.The mount is solid and once you get the mirror where you want it, it stays put. (Haven’t ridden on any rough trails yet, but I wouldn’t be using it much on a trail anyway)Excellent mirror, especially at the price!

No matter how many times I tighten it does not want to stay in place.

This product is pretty short from the clamp to the outside edge of the mirror, so if you mount it inside your brake lever and shifter it may not stick out far enough and you’ll be looking at your body instead of behind you. At least it’s that way on my Trek mountain bike. The alternative is to move your brake lever and shifters inboard, but typically that’s not very ergonomic (comfortable).
