To give a more upright position or solve a very short steerer problem?
I did it on a small framed hack bike and fitted bar ends in the middle to give an alternative aero position ...worked well ....but for Offroad?

You'll need either a shim spacer or a BMX stem as BMX bars are 22.2mm dia.

However don't be too surprised if you get mocked for doing it ๐Ÿ˜€

Profile make a bmx style cromoly bar with only 4" of rise (about 1/2 the rise of regular bmx bars) for BMX 24" cruisers - this would work better for your application ๐Ÿ˜‰

4-5" BMX cruiser bars would be a better bet - not a lot taller than the DMR Wingbars I put on my Inbred.
