Nope. But measure/workout what you need twice, cut once.0

Some have inserts in he ends of the bars some do not.
Read the manual and see what they say."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Here is the official word. Madison kindly answered:
Unfortunately the carbon layup and end construction on these bars are not designed to be cut down.
