PNW Components Loam MTB Bike Grips – Mountain Bike Handlebar Grips

I'm very pleased with these grips. I replaced the stock grips on my Aventon Aventure M with the XL version and noticed the improvement immediately. They significantly reduced hand fatigue and should help a lot with hand cramping on longer rides. The grips feel soft, tacky, and very comfortable without feeling mushy. I also appreciate the wide range of color options — there’s something for everyone. My only minor complaint is that the end caps are not removable for bar-end accessories or mirrors. I ended up carefully drilling them out for my mirror setup, and they now look and function perfectly. The lock-on system is solid and installation was quick and easy. Overall, these grips offer a very premium feel at a great price and are an excellent upgrade over stock grips. Highly recommended.

I ordered the XL version of the grips, and I'm glad I did. The factory grips on my Giant Trance Advanced were very thin, and most of the texture had worn off, requiring a replacement. I ready dozens of articles and reviews of various grips on the market, and decided to go with the Loams. I often find myself having to have out my hands on rides, and almost always end up having a tingling and numbness for hours after a ride. Some research led me to going with a fatter grip than the stock Giant Lock-ons. Once installed, I could immediately feel a difference. The grip felt a little fatter, but not so much that it seemed unusual. The rubber compound offers a lot of purchase on the bars, and the texture is pleasant when riding without gloves. I do ride with gloves nearly all the time, and they also grip extremely well when wearing them. About an hour into a ride, I'm usually feeling the need to shake my hands out to relieve some pain. With the new grips installed, I wasn't feeling that anywhere near as soon. I do have issues with carpal tunnel syndrome, and I believe the fatter grip helped prevent that from being aggravated as quickly. I would like to see the grip include protective end caps, since I sometimes load the bit in the bed of my truck, and occasionally do wreck.I haven't had the grips installed long enough to observe any damage from doing so yet, and maybe it will not be an issue at all. Something I did notice is the grips do not slide on as far as the factory grips, so there was more of a gap between the grip and levers. Overall, it widened the bars by around 3/4 of an inch compared to the original setup. If I notice any trouble getting used to the position f the levers, I'll move them closer to the grips, or if I really like the grips and plan on replacing them with the same thing in the future, I may shorten the bars a bit to tighten things up. So far, it's not enough of a difference to change the way the bike handles on the trails. Overall, I'm very happy to have chosen these grips. They feel great, look good, and come at a reasonable price point. With two sizes and many colors to choose from, it's not hard to find a combination to suit most people's needs. They seem to make my ride less troublesome to my hands.

I have big hands so I wanted to try out a thicker grip. These are high quality and a fair value proposition. I don’t have enough miles on them to make a solid case one way or the other as far as efficacy of diameter but they are comfy and they lock to the bars well.

Love these grips! Installation was easy, great value, locking is great, and they look sick. XL size helped a ton with hand cramping.

very happy with the xl size, feels much more normal and comfortable to me

Great color and very comfortable pattern/grip. Lock-on bolts felt a little soft/easy-to-strip during install.

Excellent grips! Easy to install and look/feel great!

I bought the XL. These are the best grips I’ve ever had! I love them so much I’ve replaced all the grips on my other bikes and bought them for the project bike I’m currently building. They are super grippy and comfortable! I love PNW!

Best bike grips

Live them, super comfy and really grippy

グリップ感良し！

Top de linha gostei, muito boa aderência confortável bonita , recomendo pois o produto é de qualidade mesmo👍🏽

Was waiting for these to come only to be disappointed that one of the black bolts were missing. Luckily my oury grips had compatible bolts so I swapped it over.
