Product Information

Full details

The Funn Hilt JR grips are designed for young cyclists, offering a secure and comfortable fit for smaller hands. Their key benefit is the lock-on security and durable, soft compound that provides a great feel without compromising longevity. A crucial caveat is the specific 19mm inner diameter, which requires users to verify compatibility with their bike's handlebars before purchase. These grips feature featherlight construction, making them ideal for young riders looking for an edge in performance.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Hilt JR grips for young riders?

The main advantage is their tailored size (19mm inner diameter) and lightweight construction, providing a comfortable, secure, and agile feel specifically suited for smaller hands and younger cyclists.

How do I know if these grips will fit my bike?

You must measure the inner diameter of your handlebar ends. The Funn Hilt JR grips are designed exclusively for 19mm inner diameter handlebars. Standard adult mountain bike handlebars typically have a 22.2mm inner diameter.

Are these grips easy to install?

Yes, the single lock-on clamp design makes them very easy to install. You simply slide them on and tighten the clamp screw with an Allen key.

How durable is the rubber compound?

The grips feature a hard-wearing, soft compound engineered to provide a balance of comfortable feel with high durability, designed to withstand regular use.

What is the weight of the Funn Hilt JR grips?

The grips are featherlight, weighing approximately 72 grams per pair.

Can I use these grips on an adult's bike?

These grips are specifically designed for youth riders with smaller hands and a 19mm bar diameter. They are generally not recommended for adult bikes or riders with larger hands and standard bar diameters.

How should I clean my grips?

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Rinse with clean water and allow them to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or twist during riding

Ensure the lock-on clamp screw is fully tightened using the correct Allen key. Check that the grip is seated correctly against the handlebar end.

Difficulty sliding grip onto the handlebar

Confirm the handlebar's inner diameter is indeed 19mm. You may need to use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or grip glue (ensure it's compatible with rubber) to aid installation, allowing it to dry completely afterward.

Grip material feels too hard or too soft

The Hilt JR grips are designed for a specific balance. If the feel is not to your preference, ensure you have the correct size and consider that individual hand sensitivity varies. The compound is chosen for a blend of comfort and durability.

Pros

  • Designed specifically for youth riders with smaller hands.
  • Secure lock-on design prevents grips from moving.
  • Durable yet soft compound offers comfort and longevity.
  • Extremely lightweight, enhancing bike maneuverability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ensure your bicycle handlebars have a 19mm inner diameter. These grips are specifically designed for this size and will not fit standard 22mm or 22.2mm diameter bars. Measure your existing bar ends or consult your bike's specifications before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the handlebar end is clean and free of debris.
  2. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, aligning it with the lock-on clamp.
  3. Position the single lock-on clamp against the handlebar end.
  4. Use an appropriate Allen key (typically 3mm or 4mm) to tighten the clamp screw until the grip is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.

Care: Clean the grips regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the rubber compound. Allow grips to air dry completely before riding.
