FAQs
Can these grips be cut to size?
Yes, the foam material can be carefully trimmed with a sharp utility knife if you require a shorter length.
Do these come with end-caps?
Yes, each set includes two end-caps to finish the installation securely.
Are these suitable for mountain biking?
While they provide great comfort, they are specifically optimized for trekking/touring and may not provide the necessary grip or durability required for aggressive trail riding.
How do I clean them if they get muddy?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the foam structure.
Do these work with bar-end shifters?
If you have bar-end shifters, you will likely need to trim the grips, but ensure there is enough clearance for the shifting mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Grips sliding on the handlebar
Clean the handlebar surface thoroughly with alcohol to remove residual grease and re-install with fresh adhesive.
Difficulty sliding onto the bar
Use a light mist of water or isopropyl alcohol inside the grip to reduce friction during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of debris. Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated grip adhesive to slide them on smoothly; the foam will grip tightly once the solvent evaporates. Avoid using oil-based lubricants. To maintain the grips, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap after dusty or muddy rides. If the foam becomes saturated, let it air dry completely away from direct high-heat sources to maintain the material's elasticity.
