Product Information
Full details
The Renthal BMX 135mm Grips are designed for dedicated BMX riders seeking a precise balance between control, comfort, and durability. Featuring a specialized dual-stage pattern, these grips offer superior tackiness and vibration damping, making them an excellent upgrade for high-intensity riding. While they provide exceptional security and grip, users should be aware that the aggressive compound is optimized for performance and may wear down faster than harder, basic rubber alternatives under heavy friction.

FAQs
What is the length of these grips?
These grips are 135mm in length, which is the standard size for most BMX handlebars.
Do I need to use wire to hold them on?
While the grips are designed for a tight fit, using safety wire in the grooves is highly recommended for professional use or high-intensity riding to prevent any rotation.
Are the end caps included?
Yes, every set of Renthal BMX grips comes with specialized expander end caps.
Are these suitable for mountain biking?
These are specifically engineered for BMX geometry; however, they can be used on mountain bikes if the 135mm length fits your control setup, though they lack the lock-on collars found on dedicated MTB grips.
How do I clean the synthetic rubber?
Use a soft brush with warm water and a mild dish soap to remove dirt and grime, then allow them to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Grips rotating on the handlebar
Clean the bar surface of all grease, ensure the grip is fully seated, and secure with safety wire using the provided grooves.
Grips feel slippery when wet
Clean the surface with mild soap and water to remove accumulated dirt and skin oils, then let them air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail to maximize the life of the grips. Before sliding them onto the handlebars, ensure the bars are free of old adhesive or debris. While they can be installed with compressed air for a tight fit, avoid using excessive lubrication that may stay trapped under the grip. To ensure maximum security, use safety wire in the designated double-wire grooves to prevent rotation. For cleaning, simply use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then air dry. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers, which can degrade the synthetic rubber compound over time.
