ESI Racers Edge MTB Grip

These are the only grips I use on my bike and my wife's bike. She's only used these for years now - and I was using clamp-on grips because of the ease in installation and removal, but I've since found out how to easily install and remove these.To install - just get some Windex, like the instructions say. I put a glove on my hand to get more grip, then spray the bars and the inside of the grip, and just push it on. If they're new, they'll fight you, but not too hard to get them on there. Once they've been on before, they stretch a little and are easier to reinstall. The only real caveat here is don't try this just before a ride - give it at least overnight for the windex to dry or you might have loose grips.Removal is a piece of cake. I keep a chopstick on hand and push that between the bar and grip, then shoot some water in there, work the chopstick around, and then the grip will pull right off.If you watch the MTB World Cup, you might notice that these grips are hugely popular with the racers, and for a good reason - they work.

Loving these so far. They went on with lots of alcohol with not too much grunting and swearing. I didn't need to use an air compressor, just soak a small square of paper towel dripping wet with rubbing alcohol and keep it right in front of the grip as you twist and push, so that it's floating on a layer of alcohol. One of them got stuck after it was about 75% on, and I poured a bit of alcohol directly into the grip, and it went right on after that.I had KCNC foam grips before these. They would never stay put without tons of super glue... nasty to clean up. These ESI grips aren't going anywhere, and I didn't have to use hairspray or glue. Material feels nice and dense. VS thin rubber grips and thin foam grips, If you push one finger into any of these grips they all feel about the same, but when you grab the ESI grip it feels like it distributes the force better. you can't really squish it enough to feel the bars with your whole hand. They've been very comfortable on a few 2 hour mtb rides with lots of climbing and descending.

If you follow directions these are easy to install. Get the install instructions from their website video or YouTube. You would think they would include written directions with the product? Use plenty of alcohol. The color ones show dirt easily. I understand they are easy to clean with alcohol. I’ve yet to try and remove and reinstall them. The last pair I had I just cut off with a razor knife. The black does not show dirt.

Great grips - comfortable and light, however, definitely more difficult to get onto the bars compared to the chunky or extra chunky versions. If you're a weight weenie or prefer slim grips, these are perfect. If you don't care about 15 grams and not too partial on grip diameter, I would go with the regular chunky for easier installation. If you like fatter grips, I would definitely go extra chunky, and the easiest to install.

These grips seem to be excellent quality and are comfortable. I installed them on my son's BMX following the manufacturer's instructions. I applied the alcohol liberally to the handlebar and inside & outside of the grip. They dried quickly and look great on the bike. Lastly they're NOT made in China!

I quite like these. I bought these grips to cut them down to fit against my grip shifts on a Specialized Crossroads, as the original grips were no longer available for purchase.The process of cutting and fitting was painless and simple. I've been using these grips for a couple of months now and like the feel when riding. No negatives so far. Recommended.

I was looking for some bike grips that I could easily cut down to fit next to my twist shifters. These fit the bill and I was able to easily cut them and slide them on my mountain bike. The are soft and easy to grab onto. They are however, pretty thin. I would have liked them a little more bulky for a better fit on my hands. If you have small hands, they would probably fit great.

ESI Racers Edge MTB Grips are the best grips I have ever used. I have raced mountain bikes for 5 years and these are the only grips I use. I have 0 Cons about these grips. Great color options. I defenitly recommend these grips.Pros:Light weightForm to your handsEasy to installNo lock onsNo slippage

Really nice grips, much nicer than my I’d ones.

Love these grips , I have them on all my mountain bikes and find them exceptionally comfortable for any distance rides . They are still very grippy in the heaviest of rain and wash totally clean no matter how muddy they get . I wouldn't use any other grips now

Le manopole della ESI sono assolutamente insuperabili e, purtroppo, sono anche le più imitate! A me non hanno mai dato prurito, sudore eccessivo o scolorimento mentre, ad amici che hanno utilizzato altre marche (economiche), davano allergie o si scolorivano.Ho sempre acquistato la versione Chunky, che era di serie sulla mia Trek! Questa volte ho deciso di provare la versione Racer-s, che si differenzia soltanto per un fattore: lo spessore complessivo di 30mm anzichè di 32mm! Infatti, sia il diametro interno che la lunghezza (130mm), sono il linea con le Chunky.Ho potuto provarle soltanto dopo 1 mese dall'acquisto a causa del lockdown mondiale causato dal Covid-19! La sensanzione è stata molto positiva. Soltanto senza guanti si avverte quel minimo di spessore in meno ma è comunque morbida, comoda e antiscivolo come la chunky.Il tappo poi, con quei colori iridescenti, mi fa impazzire! Le ho cambiate una dozzina di volte da quando le ho provate, penso che la versione racer, essendo più sottile, sia anche più resistente della chunky quando ci si incastra tra i rovi di spine... ma spero di evitare di provare! 😅. Per quanto mi riguarda non cambierò mai marca e mi sento assoluamente di consigliarle!

Un mundo de diferencia con estos puños, absorben se manera asombrosa las vibraciones, reduciéndolas al mínimo, estoy encantado con ellos, además de no perder el "agarre" con los guantes. Si cuesta un poco instalarlos, pero no es nada que no se pueda hacer con paciencia. En cuanto se desgasten los puños de mis otras bicis voy renovarlos con estos.Súper recomendables.

toglierle non dovrebbe essere così un problema.... basta inciderle con un taglierino assialmente ed aprirle in due. per metterle bisogna faticare un pò quondi oltre ai consigli dati aggiungo di segnare una riga alla lunga ( assialmente) con un pennarello per scrivere sui cd. la linea va fatta sulla parte più spessa in modo che montandola non si perde il riferimento di dove sia il lato spesso. va girata per infilarla e quindi andrà in torsione. questo segno serve per non montarla torta e con parte spessa lato palmo della mano. la linea si cancellerà varie volte. ridisegnare la linea varie volte....
