Full details

The Wolf Tooth Fat Paw XL Grips are an ideal upgrade for riders with larger hands or those seeking maximum vibration dampening on rugged trails. These grips utilize a premium silicone foam construction to provide a secure, ergonomic hold in any weather condition, though users with smaller hands may find the 36mm diameter slightly too bulky for optimal control.

FAQs

Are these grips compatible with all handlebars?

Yes, they are designed to fit standard 22.2mm diameter mountain bike handlebars.

Do these grips require lock-on hardware?

No, these are friction-fit silicone grips and do not use lock-on collars.

Can I use these with bar-end shifters?

You may need to trim the length if they interfere with existing controls, but they are generally designed for standard mountain bike setups.

How do I remove them if I need to change components?

You can carefully slide a thin blunt tool or nozzle underneath to squirt a little alcohol/water mixture, or simply cut them off if you are replacing them.

Are these grips suitable for smaller hands?

While technically usable, the 36mm diameter is optimized for larger hands and may feel too thick for smaller riders.

Troubleshooting

Grips are difficult to slide onto the handlebar

Use a generous amount of isopropyl alcohol inside the grip to act as a lubricant, which will dry quickly and leave no residue.

Grips rotate or slip during the ride

Ensure the handlebar surface was cleaned of all oil, grease, and debris before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent vibration absorption for comfort
  • Durable, long-lasting silicone material
  • Generous length accommodates varied hand positions
  • Reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions

Cons

  • Larger 36mm diameter may be uncomfortable for smaller hands
  • Installation can be tight due to the material's fit
  • Silicone foam is susceptible to tearing if impacted against rocks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of silicone grips can be challenging due to their tight fit. It is recommended to clean your handlebars thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before sliding the grips on to remove any grease or oil. Applying a small amount of window cleaner or rubbing alcohol to the inside of the grip and the handlebar can act as a lubricant, making the slide-on process much easier. Once the liquid evaporates, the grips will remain firmly in place without the need for lock-on hardware. To clean, simply wipe the grips down with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution after muddy rides to maintain their tacky texture.
