Frequently Asked Questions
Are these grips compatible with 22.2mm handlebars?
Yes. The Charger Evo is designed for the standard 22.2mm handlebar diameter found on mountain bikes, so they clamp securely and won't slip when installed correctly.
What does 'single-sided lock-on' mean?
Single-sided lock-on means there is an aluminum clamp only on one end of the grip. The clamp secures the grip to the bar while the other end is a friction-fit. This reduces weight and keeps installation simple while maintaining reliable fixation.
How do I install or remove the Charger Evo grips?
Installation is straightforward: slide the grip onto a clean handlebar, position it for comfort, then tighten the single lock ring bolt to the manufacturer's recommended torque. To remove, loosen the clamp bolt and slide the grip off; using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can help with stubborn grips.
Are these ergonomic grips?
No. The Charger Evo has a round, non-ergonomic profile (31mm OD) designed for consistent contact and control rather than a winged or anatomical shape.
How durable are these grips for aggressive trail use?
Lizard Skins builds the Charger Evo with a durable, high-traction rubber compound and an anodized aluminum clamp to resist wear and twisting. With normal maintenance and correct installation they hold up well to aggressive trail and enduro riding.
Which color options are available?
The Charger Evo is offered in Black, Fire Red and Graphite finishes to match a range of cockpit builds.
Buying Guide
When choosing lock-on grips for mountain biking, consider diameter, clamp type, compound and length. A 31mm outer diameter like the Charger Evo offers a good balance between cushioning and precise feel; smaller diameters favor bar feel while larger diameters spread load across the palm for comfort. Single vs. dual lock rings trade a small amount of weight for security — single clamps are lighter and easier to install, while dual clamps give maximum anti-slip assurance. Look for durable rubber compounds that maintain tack in wet conditions, an aluminum or stainless clamp for secure attachment, and a length that leaves space for shifters, brake levers and dropper posts. The Charger Evo is a strong choice if you want a lightweight, high-traction lock-on grip optimized for trail and mountain riding.
