Mountain Bike GripsAbout Mountain Bike GripsMountain bikes are built for danger, as many MTB riders would claim. The rough terrain and unforgiving trails can test the rider’s skills, endurance and willpower to their limits. Also, the rigors of riding mountain bikes create the need for reliable and durable mountain bike parts such as frames and wheelsets. There is a growing importance for quality grips to ensure maximum control and protection for the rider.
Grips are typically made of various materials such as plastic, gel, foam, leather, and rubber. For mountain bikes, the most common is rubber. Brands such as Ergon and Grab On are popular among users and reviewers alike. Ergon has the famed GS1 “winged” mountain bike grips. These add flair and function to the mountain bike handlebars. The patented wing-shaped design provides more support to the hands. It gives extra support for the palm, which oftentimes receive the brunt of the rough ride. Because of the increased area on the wide end of the “wing”, the pressure experienced by the grip is dispersed, thus protecting the hands from vibrations. The soft krayton rubber gives the hand excellent padding, comfort and gription. The rubber compound also helps dissipate the shocks and jolts.
For those who prefer a more conventional design, the ODI Grips are available for you. One excellent model that gets rave reviews from pros is the ODI Ruffian Lock-On Grip. This simple, tubular shaped grip is made of durable rubber compound and features a rugged knurled pattern for maximum traction. For more mountain bike grips, simply check the site for more info.
