Product Details

Overview & Technology

Chromag Clutch grips combine a finger-shaped waffle tread with a narrow overall diameter to give trail riders precise, confidence-inspiring control. The 150mm length and 30mm outer diameter are engineered to balance comfort with an exceptionally direct connection to the bars, while the waffle pattern channels water and mud for consistent traction in varied conditions. The grips are built from a high-density, high-friction rubber compound (Chromag's proven ride-grade formulation) and use a double-locking clamp system to eliminate twist under load. The split-teardrop end clamp both covers the bar end neatly and uses a pinch-clamp design to maximize purchase without bulky hardware.

Key Features

Designed for grip and durability: the ergonomically oriented waffle tread is specifically shaped to fit the fingers and shed debris, giving positive bite when accelerating or braking. The surface compound is engineered to resist rapid wear while maintaining tack through wet and dry conditions. • Waffle tread shaped to fingers for traction in varied conditions • Narrow 30mm diameter for precise bar feel and control • 150mm length for secure hand placement and compatibility with modern controls • Double-locking clamps to prevent rotation • Split-teardrop end clamp protects the bar end and provides a clean finish • Lightweight at 100g per pair

Fit & Compatibility

The Clutch is a double-locking grip made for standard 22.2mm handlebar diameters and fits most mountain, trail and aggressive cross-country handlebars. The 150mm length is long enough for most brake and shifter setups while remaining compact for shorter-hand cockpit builds. The split-teardrop end clamp covers bar ends and works with bar-end plugs; because the grips are lock-on, they’re easy to install and remove with a single hex key per side. They’re compatible with all standard lock-on-friendly brake levers, shifters and remote dropper lever positions.

Who It's For

The Chromag Clutch is aimed at riders who prioritize direct bar feedback without sacrificing traction — ideal for technical trail riders, aggressive XC racers, and anyone who prefers a narrower grip for improved wrist and forearm control. It’s also a great option for riders who frequently ride in mixed, muddy, or wet conditions thanks to the waffle tread. If you want a lightweight, lock-on grip with a classic tactile feel and a neat, integrated bar-end finish, the Clutch delivers a simple, reliable solution that’s proven on hard singletrack and rowdy descents alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these grips lock-on?

Yes — the Chromag Clutch uses a double-locking clamp system that secures the grip on both ends to prevent twisting. Installation requires only small hex bolts and is quick to tighten for a secure fit.

What material are the grips made from?

The Clutch grips are made from a high-density, high-friction rubber compound developed for trail use. It provides a tacky feel for grip in wet and dry conditions while resisting rapid wear.

Will these fit my handlebars?

They fit standard 22.2mm mountain handlebars. The grips are 150mm long and should be compatible with most brake levers, shifters and dropper remote positions — confirm your available bar real estate before installing.

Can I trim these to a shorter length?

Because the Clutch is a lock-on grip with a pinched clamp and integrated end cover, trimming is not recommended. Choose the 150mm length for full compatibility or select a shorter grip model if you need less length.

Do the end clamps cover bar plugs?

Yes — the split-teardrop end clamp is designed to effectively cover the bar end and works with most standard bar plug setups, giving a clean finished appearance while maintaining the clamp’s pinch function.

How much do they weigh?

Chromag lists the Clutch at approximately 100g per pair, making them a light lock-on option that won’t add noticeable rotational weight to your bars.

Buying Guide

When choosing mountain bike grips, consider diameter, compound, clamp style and length. Narrower grips (28–32mm OD) like the Chromag Clutch improve bar feel and control for technical riding, while larger diameters add cushioning for long rides or heavier riders. Lock-on clamps provide security and easy installation; if you value zero-slip performance and quick swaps, choose a reputable double-locking system. Also match grip length to your cockpit: 135–150mm covers most brake/shifter setups, but confirm your control spacing and whether you need room for bar-end accessories. For muddy or wet riding, prioritize tread patterns and compounds that shed water and stay tacky under load.
