It’s a grip. OK, it’s a bicycle grip. We can’t and won’t say it is the best bicycle grip, because bicycle grips are a particularly personal thing.
Beit damping, thickness, length, texture, shape, … There are simply toomany boxes to tickto make a grip your favorite, there simply can’t be THE ONE, can there?
Well, we did tryto make a gripwith a lot of features that we hoped would takeaway with some of the things we particularly did not like with some of the grips out there.
On some of your favorite grips, you may noticethat,in a matter of a few rides, you can see small parts of the rubber already get twisted/torn or sheared off. Some grips provideexcellent damping but the rubber may be too soft/squishy/sticky to be withstanding rough use over a longer period of time. For our Grippy we settledfor a surface structure that reminds of a honeycomb and combined it with a materialthat provides a very good feel and grip, yet it isstiff and sturdyenough,you can not twist the rubber, whichhelps keepwear as little as possible.
For even more damping on the outside palm area, we designed cut-outs intothe inner Nylon supportsleeve, creating space for more rubber material all the way to the handlebar for more dampingand support of the critical outsidepalm area.
The Grippy, while featuring a circulardiameter is offset from the middle axis. Thinner grips usually allow for a firmer/better mechanical grip, thicker grips can give more damping and comfort. With the offset design, we created more damping where you need it – on the rearward facing side (palm side) of the grip towards the rider side -without increasing the overall diameter of the grip
One thing we found particularly annoying is, the that outer ends of some grips tear too easily due to lack of or only a little protection from improperly designed endcaps. Scraping a tree, going down, these things happen and we do not want the grip to get torn too easily, right? So the black, integratedendcap mainly has two functions: a) the slightly tapered shape gives you excellenttactilefeedback to feelwhere the grip ends and b) it gives solid protection against impacts.
Not really much more to say about a grip, eh?
