Product Information
Full details
The Cannondale TrailShroom Grips are designed for mountain bikers who prioritize handling precision and hand comfort on technical terrain. By combining a vibration-damping mushroom pattern with a high-traction micro-hex underside, these grips offer riders a superior sense of control and stability. The primary caveat is that the specialized dual-surface design may require a specific orientation during installation to ensure the rider benefits from both the comfort and the traction zones effectively.

FAQs
Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?
Yes, these grips are compatible with most standard handlebars, including carbon. Always ensure you do not exceed the torque specifications listed for your specific handlebar model.
Can I use these grips on a road bike?
While technically possible, these grips are specifically engineered for flat-bar mountain bike setups and will not fit drop-bar handle systems.
What is the diameter of these grips?
The Cannondale TrailShroom Grips feature a standard mountain bike diameter designed to fit universal 22.2mm handlebars.
How do I know if they are installed correctly?
The ribbed mushroom pattern should be positioned on the top/palm side, while the micro-hex texture should be positioned on the bottom where your fingers curl.
Do these come with end plugs?
Yes, as part of the lock-on system, these grips include integrated ends to ensure your handlebar ends are covered.
Troubleshooting
Grip rotates or moves during the ride
Verify that the lock-on bolt is tightened to the recommended torque and ensure the handlebar surface underneath the grip is clean and dry.
Bolt feels stuck or stripped
Ensure you are using the correct size Allen key and apply a small amount of penetrating oil if the bolt has seized due to oxidation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent vibration absorption for long trail sessions
- Secure single lock-on mechanism prevents slippage
- Dual-textured design caters to both comfort and grip
- Durable construction built for rugged trail environments
Cons
- Requires precise installation to align the grip zones
- Single lock-on design necessitates regular bolt tension checks
- Specific texture pattern may feel aggressive to riders with sensitive hands
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Cannondale TrailShroom Grips is straightforward. Ensure your handlebars are free of debris or residue before sliding the grips on. Once positioned, tighten the single lock-on clamp using a standard Allen key until snug; do not overtighten to avoid stripping the bolt.
To ensure proper function, align the ribbed mushroom side upward toward the palms and the micro-hex side downward toward the fingers. For care, clean the grips with mild soap and water after muddy rides to maintain the texture's effectiveness. Avoid harsh chemical solvents, which can degrade the rubber compound over time.
