Product Information
Full details
The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips are designed for aggressive mountain bikers and trail riders seeking enhanced control and reduced hand fatigue. By utilizing an innovative off-centre core and specialized textured zones, these grips provide superior dampening and a secure hold during high-speed technical descents. While they offer excellent performance for demanding riders, the specific 32mm diameter and diamond knurling pattern may feel too firm for those who prefer oversized or extra-soft rubber compounds.

FAQs
Are these grips suitable for downhill riding?
Yes, the S2 grips are built for aggressive riding, including downhill, thanks to their secure lock-on system and ergonomic design.
What is the diameter of these grips?
The Gusset S2 grips feature a 32mm diameter.
Do these grips come with end caps?
These grips feature a closed-end tapered core design, so separate end caps are not required.
Can I use these on carbon handlebars?
Yes, but ensure you do not exceed the torque specifications for your carbon handlebars when tightening the lock-on clamps.
What tools are needed to install these?
You will need a standard 3mm hex (Allen) key.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels loose or rotates on the handlebar
Ensure the alloy clamp is fully tightened and that no grease or lubricant is trapped between the grip and the handlebar.
Difficulty sliding grips onto the bar during installation
Ensure there are no burrs on your handlebar ends. If they remain tight, apply a tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol to the bar; this acts as a temporary lubricant and evaporates completely.
Pros and Cons

Setup:
