Product Details

Overview & Technology

Chromag Squarewave grips are built to add plush control without compromising feedback. The core material is a soft 25a durometer elastomer enhanced with Chromag’s proprietary tack additive to deliver a grippy, durable surface that soaks up trail chatter and keeps your hands planted through technical terrain. The profile includes a gentle bulge that sits in the cup of your hand for extended comfort and reduced fatigue on long rides. Chromag’s unique Split-Teardrop end clamp provides a clean, secure double-locking interface so the grips stay put on rough descents while remaining simple to install or remove.

Key Features

Purpose-driven construction: soft 25a compound for comfort and vibration absorption, plus a tack-enhancing additive for lasting grip in wet and dry conditions. • Double-locking design with Chromag Split-Teardrop end clamp for reliable fixation • One-side flange that can be oriented inside or outside for personal preference • 142mm length and 31mm outer diameter for broad palm contact and control • Lightweight at 106g per pair — performance without added mass

Fit & Compatibility

The Squarewave is designed for standard mountain flat bars (22.2mm handlebar diameter) and fits bars with integrated clamping surfaces thanks to its double-locking clamp. The 142mm grip length is a versatile middle ground — long enough for varied hand positions while allowing room for controls and remotes. Installation is straightforward: orient the single flange to inside or outside depending on your preference, slide onto clean bars, and tighten the clamp bolts. Because the grip uses Chromag’s Split-Teardrop clamp, be sure to tighten to a moderate torque and avoid over-tightening to protect the clamp and bar finish.

Who It's For

The Squarewave is aimed at mountain riders who want a balance of plush comfort and precise control — from trail and enduro riders who face long descents and rough climbs to daily trail riders who value durability and grip. If you prefer a soft, tacky grip that reduces hand numbness and stays put, this is a great option. Not intended for drop bars or BMX-style handlebars; choose the Squarewave if you want a confident, comfortable interface for technical singletrack and all-day rides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these grips ergonomic?

The Squarewave is not listed as an ergonomic grip, but its gentle bulge is designed to fit the cup of the hand and promote long-ride comfort. If you need a pronounced anatomical shape, consider a model specifically marketed as ergonomic.

Will the grips fit my handlebar?

Yes — Squarewave grips are made for standard mountain bars with a 22.2mm diameter and are double-locking to clamp securely. They’re not suitable for drop bars or oversized cockpit systems that use non-standard diameters.

How do I install and secure the Split-Teardrop clamp?

Slide the grip onto clean handlebars, position the flange as desired, then tighten the clamp bolts evenly. Use a moderate torque — enough to stop slippage but avoid over-tightening which can damage the clamp or bar finish. If unsure, follow Chromag’s torque guidance or consult your bike shop.

How durable are these grips in wet or muddy conditions?

The proprietary additive in the compound increases tack and durability, so the Squarewave maintains grip in wet and muddy conditions better than many plain-rubber grips. Regular cleaning after rides will preserve the surface life and tackiness.

Can I rotate the flange inward or outward?

Yes — the one-side flange is reversible and can be oriented either inside or outside depending on rider preference for hand placement and protection against slipping.

How do I clean and care for these grips?

Use mild soap, water and a soft brush or cloth to remove grit and grime. Avoid harsh solvents or petroleum-based cleaners which can degrade the compound. Allow to air dry before reinstalling.

Buying Guide

When choosing mountain bike grips, consider compound hardness, diameter and clamping style. Softer compounds (like the Squarewave's 25a) absorb vibration and improve comfort on rough trails, while tack-enhancing additives improve hold in wet conditions. Outer diameter affects hand cradling — a 31mm OD is a versatile middle ground that suits riders who want both cushioning and control. Lock-on grips are the best option for trail and enduro riding because they eliminate slippage and simplify installation. Look for reversible flanges if you change hand positions often, and match grip length to your bar real estate to ensure shifters and remotes fit comfortably.
