Abstract

A bicycle handle, which is suitable in particular for trekking and mountain bikes, comprises a sleeve with a sleeve slot in it. The sleeve is connected to a grip element. For fastening the bicycle handle on a bicycle handlebar, the sleeve is mounted to the bicycle handlebar, and a clamping device is provided in a clamping region of the sleeve. A barend is connected to the clamping device. In order to avoid rotation of the barend, it is provided according to the disclosure that a rotation-prevention device is arranged between the clamping device and the bicycle handlebar.
