Cushion
Cushion grips provide extra squish for riders who want soft grips that absorb trail chatter and reduce hand numbness.

Single-Clamp
The Trace features a single-clamp mechanism that provides a secure and stable grip, so they are less prone to shifting or rotating.

Tapered Inner Sleeve
Tapered, less rubber on one end and more rubber on the other. This is purely for more comfort. More comfort equals longer rides, ultimately making people happier on their bikes. We call that a win, win and win!

Soft Anti-Slip Rubber
You know that moment when your hand slips off your grip and you're about to go chest to bars? Well, we thought about that Oh #$&* moment and went with an Anti-Slip rubber to help stop that from happening.* *Bike handling skills not included

32mm Diameter
Tall & flexible blocks cover three quarters of the grip’s surface, while underneath, a lightly knurled & waffled section makes up the rest. The space around these cushioned blocks allows them to squash and conform to the contours of your hand, while the rubber’s slow rebound helps absorb trail-chatter.

What Trail Chatter?
This additional damping up top, combined with the predictable bar feel offered by the knurled surface underneath results in an incredibly capable grip design.
