Many of our bikes come with decent handlebar grips as standard. But if you wish to customise yours, view the handlebar grip upgrades above.

For many weekend riders, the ergonomic comfort grips really help achieve that all-important rider comfort, whilst further supporting your palms too. Bicycle handlebar grips are the unsung heroes of comfort and control. They offer a firm yet cushioned grasp, minimising hand fatigue during rides.

Good handlebar grips make a noticeable difference in comfort and control on an electric bike, especially on longer rides. E-bikes can travel faster and often cover more miles in a single trip, so having grips that reduce vibration, improve cushioning, and give you a secure hold helps prevent hand fatigue. Ergonomic designs support the natural shape of your palms and wrists, spreading pressure more evenly to help reduce numbness and discomfort over time. Available in various materials like rubber, foam, or silicone, they cater to different preferences for grip texture and shock absorption.

Lock-on grips ensure stability, preventing slippage even in wet conditions. Additionally, they personalise bikes, adding flair through colours and patterns. Often overlooked, handlebar grips significantly impact ride comfort, making them an essential accessory for every cyclist seeking a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Quality grips give you better confidence when braking, cornering, or riding over rougher terrain. Many modern grips use grippy rubber compounds or lock-on systems that prevent twisting, even when riding in wet conditions. It’s a small upgrade that significantly enhances comfort, control, and the overall riding experience.

Handlebar grips are a very personal choice and theres really no right or wrong answer. Some people prefer a specific shape, some prefer a grip with an ergonomic palm support to alleviate pressure on the wrists and some simply choose them for their colour. Whichever you go for, along with pedals and saddles, they're a great way to express your individual character.

You don’t need e-bike-specific grips, but many riders prefer ergonomic or shock-absorbing grips because e-bikes travel faster and can transmit more vibration through the bars.

Most bicycle handlebar grips are made from different forms of rubber, plastics, or a combination of both. On road bikes with dropped bars, the grip comes in the form of "bar tape" and is wrapped onto the bars. These are generally made from PVC, EVA (a type of foam) or more traditionally, cork or leather.

Handlebar grips on your bike are very important and are there to help you maintain control of the bike. Either being made from a 'grippy' material (rubber) or having a knurled finish to help you grip them with your hands, they also help to cushion the hands from the vibrations and impacts of normal cycling.

Ergonomic grips have shaped platforms that support your palms, reducing pressure and improving comfort on longer rides. Standard grips are round and simpler, but often less supportive.

Yes. Lock-on grips use metal collars to secure them firmly in place, preventing twisting—ideal for heavier bikes and more powerful braking setups.

Most modern bikes, including e-bikes, use 22.2mm diameter handlebars at the grip area. As long as the grips match that size, they’ll fit without any issues.

Choosing lock-on grips is the easiest solution. For slide-on grips, proper installation with grip glue or hairspray helps them stick firmly in place.

Yes. Ergonomic grips with palm rests and extra cushioning help relieve pressure on nerves in the hands, reducing tingling or numbness during longer rides.

Very. Lock-on grips install with a single hex bolt. Slide-on grips need a bit of technique—use rubbing alcohol or a grip installer to help them slide on smoothly.
