One of the most underestimated accessories on your bike, is your grips. Not only does it help you control and manoeuvre your bike, but the right grips also act as added protection and suspension.
The perfect grip is very much up to personal preference. Some people prefer extra chunky grips to absorb more road/trail shock; while others like thinner grips so that they can properly feel the bike and its movements. If your hands get a tingling sensation or go numb, you might benefit from a grip with a platform, or a setup.
If you’re shopping for new grips, remember to think about these important factors:
- Thickness
- Slip / anti-slip
- Material composition
Make sure you’ve got the right grips for your hand size, riding style and comfort preference. We’ll help you.
