Product Information
Full details
The Bontrager XR Silicone Grip is designed for mountain bikers seeking a reliable, race-ready contact point that balances comfort with performance. Utilizing a unique blend of silicone and foam, these grips excel at dampening trail vibrations and providing consistent traction, though riders who prefer ultra-soft or oversized ergonomic grips may find the 32mm diameter firmer than expected.

FAQs
Can I use these on carbon handlebars?
Yes, these grips are safe to use on carbon handlebars provided they are installed correctly without damaging the surface.
Do these grips require lock-on hardware?
No, these are friction-fit grips and do not use lock-on collars or bolts.
How do I remove them without cutting them?
Insert a thin zip tie or flat tool between the grip and the bar, then squirt a little rubbing alcohol into the gap to break the friction seal.
Are these grips suitable for long-distance riding?
They provide excellent vibration damping which helps with hand fatigue, though they lack specific ergonomic palm-wing support.
What is the diameter of these grips?
The Bontrager XR Silicone Grips have a diameter of 32mm.
Troubleshooting
Grip spinning or moving on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface is completely clean and dry before installation. If the issue persists, remove and reinstall using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol as a lubricant that evaporates.
Difficulty sliding grips onto the bar
Use compressed air to create a cushion of air between the grip and the bar, or apply a light mist of isopropyl alcohol to lubricate the interior before sliding them on.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent vibration absorption on rugged trails
- Tacky, reliable grip in wet or dry conditions
- Lightweight construction suitable for racing
- Durable material blend resists premature wear
Cons
- Lacks complex ergonomic shaping for long-distance comfort
- Fixed 32mm diameter may feel too thin for some riders
- Installation requires friction fit techniques
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these grips, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of oils. A small amount of compressed air or a light application of rubbing alcohol can facilitate sliding them onto the bar, which will then evaporate for a secure, non-slip fit. Since these are friction-fit grips, they are compatible with most standard 22.2mm diameter mountain bike handlebars. For care, clean the grips periodically with mild soap and water using a soft brush to remove dirt and restore the original tackiness. Avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the silicone composition.
