More about MTB Grips

The right MTB grips improve your riding by minimizing hand fatigue and arm pump while increasing your control.

The wrong grips? Well, pain, numbness, hot-spots – none of which say “let’s keep riding”…

We’ve curated a selection of the best models from class leading MTB manufacturers. Each of the grips we offer provides a range of riders a comfortable, confident fit and feel.

The latest updates in grips improve rubber composition for a tackier feel as well as damping properties to help absorb the small and big bumps.

You’ll notice we don’t have a lot of really “chunky” grips on offer. Or foam grips. Or motion grips (we do have some clients who like them, if you’re intrigued chat with our team). Large increases too the rubber diameter, having pillow soft material, etc creates increased roll on the grip which tends to lead to hand fatigue and arm pump.

For the majority of riders motion, or rotating grips, create a numb and somewhat unnatural feel in aggressive direction changes or challenging burly terrain. These grips are often used for riders who “death grip” the bike in all conditions and give try to improve the small bump compliance. As you progress as a rider its likely you’ll be more comfortable with a lighter grip in most terrain, but when you grab that grip you’ll want an instant, direct input.

The fingertips feature a waffle pattern over the diamond grid to for a distinct feel and to help with bite.

ODI grips have a slightly flared outer end. For some riders the confidence of this tactile “end of the road” on the handlebar is a must have. Others riders who like to hang the outside section of their hand off the end of the grip may find it uncomfortable in which case there are other options with similar design features.
