Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 79g weight for one grip or the pair?
The listed 79g refers to the approximate weight of the pair, making these grips one of the lighter lock-on options for cross-country and trail use.
What handlebar diameter do these grips fit?
They are designed for standard MTB handlebars with a 22.2 mm grip diameter. The lock-on clamp allows a secure fit on most alloy and carbon bars — avoid over-tightening on carbon to protect the finish.
How durable is the foam — will it tear or wear quickly?
The high-density foam compound is engineered for a balance of comfort and durability. Foam will compress and show wear over time faster than thicker rubber grips, but for XC and light-trail use it provides excellent performance-to-weight. Inspect grips periodically and replace if foam integrity degrades.
Can I use these grips on drop bars or commuter bikes?
No — these locks-on grips are optimized for flat MTB-style handlebars. Drop bars have different diameter and shape, and road-specific tape or bar-end style grips are recommended for those bikes.
How do I clean and maintain the foam grips?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove grit and sweat. Avoid aggressive solvents and prolonged soaking; allow to air dry. Periodically check the lock ring for snugness and retighten if needed.
What color options are available?
This model is available as a pair in Black/Black and Black/Red, letting you match your bike or add a subtle accent.
Buying Guide
When choosing MTB grips decide first between lock-on and slip-on styles: lock-on grips like the Contour Foam Locking are best for riders who want repeatable hand position and no slippage under load. Compare materials — foam and composite compounds prioritize comfort and low weight, while thicker rubber and silicone offer longer life and more grip in muddy conditions. Match grip diameter to your riding preference: thinner grips increase bar feel and are popular with XC racers, while thicker grips suit riders who want extra cushioning for long, rough rides. Consider weight, weather performance, and whether your bars are carbon (use lower clamp torque) when making a final choice.
