Product Information

Full details

The Gusset Single File Lock-On Grips are ideal for mountain bikers and gravity riders seeking a balance of reliable traction and ergonomic control. These grips offer superior all-weather grip thanks to their signature file pattern and a durable 25A VEXK rubber compound, though riders who prefer ultra-thick, soft grips may find the 30mm diameter firmer than expected.

FAQs

What is the diameter of these grips?

The Gusset Single File Lock-On Grips have a diameter of 30mm.

Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?

Yes, but ensure you follow the torque specifications of your carbon handlebar manufacturer to avoid damaging the bar.

What tool do I need to install these?

You will need a 3mm hex key (Allen key) to tighten the lock-on clamp.

Do these grips include bar end plugs?

No, these feature a closed rubber end design, so external bar end plugs are not necessary.

How long are these grips?

The grips measure 133mm in length.

What does the 25A VEXK compound mean?

The 25A refers to the durometer (hardness) of the rubber, while VEXK is the proprietary material blend used to balance grip and durability.

Troubleshooting

Grip twists or moves on the handlebar

Verify that the handlebar surface is clean and dry. Ensure the alloy clamp bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification.

Difficulty sliding grip onto the bar

Ensure the bar end is not deformed and that there is no debris inside the grip core. Use a small amount of compressed air to help inflate the grip slightly during installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Single-clamp design increases usable bar space
  • Excellent traction in wet or muddy conditions
  • Durable VEXK compound resists premature wear
  • Secure lock-on system prevents twisting

Cons

  • Firm 30mm diameter may be too small for riders preferring bulky grips
  • Single clamp requires precise tightening to avoid movement
  • Limited color options might not suit all aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a 3mm hex key. To install, slide the grip onto your handlebar until it seats fully, then tighten the single alloy clamp at the inner side to the manufacturer's recommended torque setting (typically 2-3 Nm). Ensure your handlebar ends are clean and free of grease before installation to prevent slipping. For care, wash the grips using mild soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt and mud buildup from the file pattern. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or degreasers, as these can degrade the rubber compound over time. Check the clamp bolt periodically to ensure it remains tight after heavy use.
