Product Information
Full details
The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips are designed for mountain bikers and trail riders seeking a balance between superior vibration dampening and tactile control. By utilizing an innovative off-centre eccentric core, these grips place additional rubber where the palm needs it most, significantly reducing hand fatigue during long rides; however, the 32mm diameter may feel slightly bulky for riders with very small hands who prefer a minimalist, low-profile grip.

FAQs
Are these grips compatible with all handlebars?
The Gusset S2 grips are compatible with all standard 22.2mm diameter mountain bike handlebars.
Do these grips come with bar ends?
Yes, the S2 grips include integrated-style bar end plugs to protect the ends of your handlebars and the grip edge.
What is the diameter of the S2 grips?
These grips have a 32mm diameter, which provides a balance between control and comfort.
Can I use these grips without gloves?
Yes, the VEXK compound is designed to be soft and comfortable, making them suitable for use with or without riding gloves.
How do I ensure the eccentric core is oriented correctly?
Rotate the grip on the bar until the thickest part of the rubber padding rests under your palm while you are in your natural riding position.
Troubleshooting
The grip rotates on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and dry, then check that the alloy clamp bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification.
Clamp bolt feels stuck or hard to turn
Clean the bolt threads and apply a small amount of light grease or thread-lock compound to ensure smooth operation during future adjustments.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior palm cushioning due to the eccentric core design
- Excellent traction in adverse weather thanks to the VEXK compound
- Lock-on mechanism prevents slippage and twisting

Cons
- 32mm diameter may be too thick for some riders
- Soft VEXK compound may wear faster than harder rubber grips
- Single-clamp design requires precise positioning during installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Gusset S2 grips is straightforward but requires a 3mm hex key. Ensure your handlebars are free of debris or grease before sliding the grips on. Align the thicker part of the eccentric core towards your palm for maximum benefit—this is typically achieved by rotating the grip until the 'palm-heavy' side is positioned optimally relative to your brake lever angle. Once positioned, tighten the alloy clamp bolt until secure; do not overtighten to avoid stripping the threads. To clean, use a soft brush and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh degreasers that may degrade the VEXK compound. Periodically check the clamp bolts to ensure they remain tight after long periods of heavy use.
