FAQs

Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?

Yes, they are compatible with standard carbon and aluminum handlebars, provided you do not overtighten the clamp.

What size hex key do I need for installation?

You need a 3mm hex key (Allen wrench) to operate the locking clamp.

Are these grips suitable for aggressive downhill riding?

While designed for endurance, the lock-on nature and tacky rubber compound make them very capable for aggressive trail riding.

Can I replace the locking clamp if it breaks?

The clamp is integrated into the core-lock system; typically, if the bolt or clamp fails, the entire grip needs to be replaced.

Do I need bar end plugs?

The locking clamp system generally covers the end of the grip, but it is recommended to ensure your handlebars have end plugs for safety.

Troubleshooting

Grip rotation or slipping

Check that the 3mm M4 bolt is tightened correctly. If it continues to slip, remove the grip, clean the handlebar surface with isopropyl alcohol, and reinstall.

Hand numbness despite ergonomic shape

Rotate the grip slightly on the handlebar to change the angle of the palm support until the pressure is distributed evenly across your palm.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent ergonomic support reduces long-term hand fatigue
Sustainable design using recycled core plastics
Secure lock-on clamp prevents annoying grip rotation
Effective sweat management during intense sessions

Cons

Ergonomic shape is fixed and not adjustable
Requires a 3mm hex key for installation
May feel bulky for riders who prefer thin, minimal grips

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward but requires a 3mm hex wrench to tighten the M4 bolt on the locking collar. Ensure your handlebar ends are clean and free of debris or grease before sliding the grips on to ensure a flush fit. When tightening, turn the bolt until the grip is secure, but avoid over-torquing as this may damage the clamp threads. For maintenance, clean the grips with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush to remove dirt trapped in the moisture-management channels. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the rubber compound over time.
