Chunky - Silicone MTB Grips - Ultimate Comfort and Control for Mountain Bikers and E-Bike Riders, Durable Bicycle Handlebar Grips for a Smooth Ride

These are the best grips I know of. bar none. I've tried all sorts of friction grips. I've tried a lot of ergo grips and a lot of gel padded gloves. With these I have a great grip and great padding. I don't even wear gel padded gloves any more. Better friction and more durable than any friction grip. works when wet. And super comfortable and more durable too. For comparison, THe best Ergo grips I have used by far are by Ergon which are a nice platform grip but the problem with them is that like all platform grips you can't wrap your fingers all the way around and they also are not too grippy. For comparison, all the expensive friction rubber grips that let you wrap your fingers around them are too bone jarring and also get really a gooey mess if you sweat into them. high friction rubbers also wear down after a year. Finally all the cheap "foam" rubber grips don't last, they just squish out and your is hand against solid bar, they have smooth slippery finishes, plus they don't resist twisting forces so are poor grips. This one is NOT foam rubber. It's a kind of high density closed cell Silicone foam. the trick here is it is high density. I tried other silicone grips and none were high density. the surface is rough and actually grippier than friction rubber, but it doesn't get gooey if you sweat into it. its luxuriously shock absorbing. better than any gel glove. gel gloves tend to be thick, and their squishiness loosens your grip. These are more plush but rigidly grippy. It also holds up as well as anything else to cuts and slashes on the trail. there's a trick to installing these. THe reason these things don't rotate on your handle bars (they lack locks) is they are incredibly tight fits. so getting them on is impossible unless you know the secret. Rinse the inside with isopropyl alchohol. push them on a little way. then get a cloth towel and twist them back and forth as you slide them on. You may think, I don't need a towel. you do but I can't tell you why, you just can't twist them enough without it. Do it like that and Totally easy to install. Getting them off is even harder. There's two ways. one is to repeatedly inject isopropyl with a syringe while twisting and tugging. it's hard but they come off. the other way I have seen it done in a shop is to use compressed air to remove them.

I've tried several different grips and these are by far my favorite. They provide quite a bit of comfort and grip. There is noticeable shock absorption in the hands. I recently rode with a different bike and my hands were killing me. Thickness is up to your preference as they sell many different types but I've got a small/medium size hand and the standard one works well. They have a lot of color options which is a plus. Installation can be a bit tricky, but with some IPA (isopropyl alcohol), they should slide on with some elbow grease. Last note: in the rain, the grips can get slightly slick, but nothing more than you would find with other grips. Highlights - great value - sticky and soft - shock absorbing - variety of colors lowlights - slightly more effort with installation - slightly slick when wet

I had to replace the very cool looking but not comfortable for me Oury gum rubber grips b/c the heel of my palms were hurting when i stood up to pedal such as climbing. I have had several pair of ESI grips on flat bar AND drop bar bikes, and only install silicone bar tape on my drop bar bikes. So it was only a matter of time before i went with function over style/looks. ESI grips are a dense foam that really takes all the pressure off of your hand while riding, but especially if squeezing the bars as is sometimes necessary. They also help eliminate road vibrations and chatter. Removing the Oury grips was a slight challenge to wedge a flat head screw driver under without gouging or scratching the silver classic Origin 8 riser bars. Sprayed a dot of WD40 and off the Oury slipped off. After paper toweling the bars dry, the ESI grips went on easily with a dab of Dawn dish soap. Just a few twists and they were lined up perfectly. Once dry, they stayed put. There is no comparison to the kind of joy and safety that comes from having comfortable hands while commuting or traversing gravel and single track. I cannot be happier with this addition and only wish I had not waited this long to install them. I will say, more color selections would do this company a world of good. They have offered the same neon green, highlighter yellow, red, white, black, purple-ish blue, and orange tones for like ever. time to look at expanding. and this tan was a limited run so i was fortunate to get it. BUT, how about some copper, brown, navy, light blue, grass green, lemon yellow, pink, even try some glitter shades - like gold or silver!

My favorite grips to date. 4* because like others have said, these damage easily. I did get minor damage from non collision as well. The thickness is a welcome change in a very good way. Will be buying again this coming season. Have color option to choose from so I like that as well.

My hands kept falling asleep with my original grips with the base of the hand pads. These are a lot better. No more tingling in my hands. I thought they might not be padded enough but they are perfect. Not too squishy or too hard. The Goldilocks of grips. I bought black but they aren't true black, more like a really dark grey but I like the color

These are my favorite grips. Some grips turn to goo over a period of time, these don't seem to do that, and I find them to be quite comfortable.

Great grips. I’m a fan of foam vs lock on for my mtb. They stay grippy when wet and feel better than generic foam

Great quality! Good feel and easy to install with air compressor and zip ties!

Super Griffe, haben dämpfende Wirkung und sind optimal,nicht zu dick und nicht zu dünn, bin begeistert !

Good grip with nice cushion

Pour moi les meilleurs grips avec un super confort. Utilisé sur un raid enduro de deux jours et pas mal au mains alors que j'avais mal avec tout les autres grips. Par contre les grips sont très fragiles...

Los mejores puños que le puedes poner a tu Moutain Bike, in agarre y amortiguación fantasticas tanto en seco como en mojado, lastima que duren tan poco, estoy gastando dos al año con una o dos salidas semanales. Las imitaciones chinas que se pueden encontrar a una cuarta parte de su precio, resbalan.

優しい握り心地で疲労感は減った気がする ハンドル径に比べ明らかに穴が狭いのでサイズを間違えたのかと思ったが、アルコール水で濡らしてコジったらスルスル入った
