Product Information
Full details
The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips are for riders seeking enhanced control, comfort, and a secure feel on their handlebars, particularly during demanding rides. Their primary benefit is improved hand support and reduced fatigue through thoughtful grip design. A potential caveat is the specialized feel might require a short adjustment period. These grips feature an off-center core for ergonomic hand placement, multi-zone grip patterns for superior hold, and a dual-density compound for comfort and durability, all secured with a robust lock-on system.

FAQs
Are these grips suitable for winter riding?
Yes, the 30A VEXK compound offers good performance in a range of temperatures. The textured surfaces also provide reliable grip in wet or cold conditions, though extreme cold can stiffen any rubber compound.
What tool do I need to install these grips?
You will typically need an Allen key, most commonly a 3mm or 4mm, to tighten the lock-on clamp bolts.
Can I cut these grips shorter?
It is not recommended to cut these grips, as it may compromise the integrity of the lock-on mechanism and the closed-end design.
How do I choose between the different colors?
The color choice is purely aesthetic. All colors feature the same material compound and design specifications.
Will these grips fit on my e-bike handlebars?
As long as your e-bike has standard 22.2mm handlebar diameter, these grips should fit. Always double-check your handlebar's diameter.
How do I maintain the grip surface?
Regular cleaning with mild soap and water will help maintain the grip's texture and prevent dirt buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
What is the warranty on these grips?
Please refer to the retailer or Gusset's official warranty policy for specific details on coverage and duration.
Troubleshooting
Grips are twisting on the handlebar.
Ensure the lock-on clamp bolts are tightened sufficiently. Check that the handlebar surface is clean and free of grease. If the issue persists, the inner core may be damaged, and the grips may need replacement.
Difficulty sliding grips onto the handlebar.
Ensure the handlebar is clean. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or grip-specific adhesive to the inside of the grip or the handlebar for easier installation. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants as they can degrade grip material.
One side of the grip feels looser than the other.
Check the clamp bolts on both sides. Ensure they are tightened to the same torque specification. Uneven tightening can lead to perceived looseness.
Hands feel numb or uncomfortable after a short ride.
Check grip orientation and ensure they are installed correctly for left and right sides. Experiment with slight adjustments to hand position on the grip. Consider if the 32mm diameter is optimal for your hand size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

- After washing, allow the grips to air dry completely before riding.
