Product Information
Full details
The RaceFace Half Nelson Lock-On Grips are designed for cross-country, all-mountain, and downhill riders who prioritize maximum bar control and a direct, thin-profile feel. Utilizing a proprietary VEXY compound and a single-clamp lock-on system, these grips offer superior tactile feedback and secure handling, though their ultra-slim design may be less cushioned for riders accustomed to thicker, vibration-dampening grips.

FAQs
Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?
Yes, they are compatible with standard carbon bars, but ensure you do not exceed the recommended torque limits specified by your handlebar manufacturer.
What is the weight of the Half Nelson grips?
The grips weigh 92.5g per pair.
Do I need special tools to install these?
You only need a standard hex key (usually 3mm) to tighten the lock-on clamp.
Can I reuse these grips if I change handlebars?
Yes, the lock-on design allows for easy removal and re-installation on different bars.
How do I clean the grips?
Use warm water and a mild soap with a soft brush to remove dirt, then allow them to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Grip slips or rotates on the handlebar
Check that the handlebar surface is clean and dry, then verify that the lock-on clamp bolt is tightened to the recommended torque spec.
Clamp bolt is stuck or stripped
Use a high-quality hex key and ensure it is fully seated before attempting to loosen. If stripped, contact your local bike shop for removal options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the RaceFace Half Nelson grips is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Ensure your handlebars are clean and free of oil or grease before sliding the grips on. Tighten the single-clamp bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque rating to ensure the lock-on mechanism is secure without stripping the bolt. To prolong the life of the grips, avoid harsh chemical cleaners; a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush is sufficient to remove mud and dirt. If you notice signs of the rubber degrading, it is recommended to replace them to maintain maximum traction.
