The quick answer

We recommend the THE BEAM CORKY URBAN for flat-bar commuters who want a small rearview mirror they can fold away between rides. Its 35 mm convex mirror rotates through 360 degrees, and the package includes an expansion-bolt mount plus a silicone mount. Buy only after checking the listed 18–23 mm bar-end fit and the room around your grips and controls; no listing can guarantee a useful view from every riding position.

Where it fits.

What stands out

  • The package includes both an expansion-bolt mount and a universal silicone mount.
  • The flip-out mirror rotates through 360 degrees, so riders can adjust it around their cockpit layout.
  • A 35 mm mirror keeps the rearview accessory compact for flat-bar setups.

Before you buy

  • Check the listed 18–23 mm expansion-bolt fit and bar-end clearance before ordering; existing plugs or accessories may conflict.
  • A 35 mm mirror favors a compact setup over a large reflected area; compare a larger mirror if viewing area is the priority.
  • The product listing does not establish the useful rearward view from your own riding position or handlebar layout.

Check the fit at the bar end

THE BEAM sells the CORKY URBAN as a flat-bar rearview mirror. The product page lists an expansion-bolt mount for 18–23 mm handlebars and includes a silicone mount as an alternative. That gives commuters two attachment options, but it does not confirm that every bar-end plug, shifter or accessory will fit alongside the mirror. Check your handlebar-end size and available clearance before choosing how to mount it.

Choose it for a compact, adjustable view

The mirror is 35 mm across and described as a 120-degree convex surface that flips out and rotates through 360 degrees. That combination suits riders who want a small mirror they can adjust or fold away with the cockpit. The size is also the main compromise: compare a larger mirror if reflected area matters more than a tidy bar end, and confirm the view from your own riding position.

Keep the single-item price and partner code separate

On October 30, 2026, THE BEAM’s France storefront displayed the single CORKY URBAN option at €36.00 with tax included and said it was in stock and shipped immediately; the official product feed marked the exact variant available. The page also showed separate multi-mirror offers. Bike Tested’s owner-supplied partner record lists code SEBASTIAN for 5% off. No after-code amount is shown; confirm the final item total and delivery terms for your destination before ordering.
