While grips aren’t exactly the sexiest of mountain biking tech, they can really make or break your ride – something you will know first hand if you’re ridden with the wrong grips. Trek understands the woes of riding with the wrong grips, and have released a new range of mountain bike grips aimed at improving rider comfort and bar control across a variety of trail conditions. The updated designs feature softer compounds, increased padding, and ergonomics tailored to rider hand positioning – marking a notable refinement in the brand’s grip offerings.
A consistent feature across all models is the use of recycled materials, with Trek stating up to 80% recycled content in each grip. This aligns with the company’s broader sustainability goals. We approve!
