Product Information
Full details
The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips are designed for mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts who prioritize palm comfort and reliable control during aggressive riding. These grips utilize an innovative off-center core to add cushioning exactly where you need it most, though riders with particularly large hands may find the 32mm diameter slightly slimmer than oversized grip options.

FAQs
What is the diameter of these grips?
The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips have a 32mm diameter.
Can I use these on carbon handlebars?
Yes, they are compatible with standard carbon handlebars, provided the clamp is tightened to the recommended torque specifications.
Are these grips directional?
Yes, because of the off-center eccentric core, they should be installed with the thicker side facing the palm for proper performance.
What tools are needed for installation?
You only need a 3mm hex key to tighten the integrated alloy lock-on clamps.
Are replacement clamps available?
If you lose or damage your clamps, check with Gusset support for specific replacement parts as they are designed for the S2 series.
What material is used for the grips?
They are made from a soft 30A durometer VEXK compound designed for comfort and grip.
Troubleshooting
Grips rotating on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and dry. Verify the clamp bolts are tightened to the appropriate specification using a 3mm hex key.
Excessive hand fatigue
Check that the grips are rotated correctly; ensure the eccentric (thicker) side of the core is positioned under the palm area.
Clamp bolt stripped
Avoid over-tightening. If the bolt is stripped, contact the manufacturer for replacement clamps, as standard bolts may not fit the specific recessed design.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent vibration absorption due to the eccentric core
- Secure, slip-free performance with the lock-on alloy clamps
- Optimized finger traction from the underside ribbed channels
- Soft rubber compound reduces hand fatigue on long rides
Cons
- 32mm diameter might feel too thin for some riders
- Requires a 3mm hex key for installation and removal
- Specific off-center design requires correct alignment during setup
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to orientation:
- Clean the handlebar surface to ensure it is free of grease or debris.
- Slide the grips onto the bar, ensuring the 'thick' part of the eccentric core is facing toward the palm for maximum comfort.
- Tighten the alloy clamp bolts using a 3mm hex key to a firm tension, ensuring they are snug without overtightening.
- Ensure the grips are fully seated before final tightening.
Compatibility: These grips fit standard 22.2mm mountain bike handlebars. Care: To maintain the tackiness of the VEXK compound, periodically clean the grips with warm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the rubber compound over time.
