Product Information
Full details
The Fizik Race Feel Grips are designed for cross-country and aggressive mountain bike riders who prioritize precise handling and a direct tactile connection to their bike. These grips provide exceptional control through a slim profile and a high-traction textured surface, making them an ideal choice for technical trails. However, riders who prefer a plush or shock-absorbing feel may find the firm compound too rigid for long, vibration-heavy descents.

FAQs
Are these grips lock-on style?
These specific grips are designed as a slip-on style, requiring proper installation techniques for a secure fit.
Can I use these grips on a road bike?
While they are designed for mountain bikes with 22.2mm bars, they can technically fit flat-bar setups, though they are optimized for off-road terrain.
What diameter are these grips?
They feature a slim profile, which is standard for performance-oriented XC and race grips, designed to fit 22.2mm bar ends.
How do I remove them without cutting them?
Insert a thin screwdriver or a specialized air nozzle between the grip and the bar to break the seal and slide them off.
Do they provide good vibration dampening?
These are performance-focused, firm grips; they prioritize tactile feedback over vibration dampening, so they are less plush than silicone-based options.
Will the color fade over time?
The high-quality compound is designed to be durable, but like any rubber-based component, it should be kept out of direct, intense sunlight when stored for long periods to maximize longevity.
Troubleshooting
Grip slips on the handlebar after installation
Ensure all alcohol or solvent has fully evaporated and the handlebar surface was cleaned thoroughly before installation.
Grips feel too stiff during long rides
Consider using padded cycling gloves to add a layer of vibration absorption without sacrificing the tactile benefits of the grips.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent tactile feedback for aggressive riding
- High-traction surface remains effective in wet conditions
- Slim profile reduces bulk for a more connected feel
- Highly durable compound prevents premature wear
Cons
- The firm compound provides less vibration dampening than thicker grips
- Not ideal for riders seeking a soft, squishy hand feel
- Requires proper installation to ensure grip stability
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of debris. Slide the grips onto the bar using a small amount of compressed air or a light application of isopropyl alcohol to facilitate movement; allow the alcohol to evaporate completely for a secure fit. These grips are compatible with standard 22.2mm mountain bike handlebars. For care, clean the surface periodically using mild soap and water to remove dirt and sweat buildup, which can compromise the textured finish over time. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that may prematurely break down the grip compound.
