Mountain Bike Grips

Grips are one of the cheapest and most impactful upgrades you can make to your mountain bike. They're a direct contact point between you and the bike, and the right pair can reduce hand fatigue, arm pump, and improve your feel and control on the trail. Check out our top 5 MTB grip picks and our five favorite lock-on grips if you want a curated starting point.

Trail One Components -- Our Top Pick

Trail One Components makes our favorite grips right now. Same give-back model as all their products -- a portion of every sale goes toward trail building and maintenance. Two models:

  • Hell's Gate Grips: The aggressive option -- designed for riders who want maximum grip and control on technical terrain.
  • Farlow Gap Grips: The all-day trail grip -- comfortable, durable, and dialed for long rides.

Other Brands We Love

ODI is one of the most popular grip brands we carry -- the Elite Pro with its waffle pattern and padded top is a perennial favorite, and we have a full ODI Elite Pro review. Ergon is the go-to for riders dealing with hand pain or numbness -- their ergonomic grip shapes and wing designs make a real difference on longer rides. We reviewed the Ergon GA2 Fat and GE1 Slim in depth. DMR Deathgrips are a cult favorite for riders who want a thin, tacky grip with serious grip texture. PNW makes the Loam grip which has become one of our best sellers -- soft, comfortable, and great for all-day trail riding. Renthal makes excellent lock-on grips that pair perfectly with their bars. ESI foam grips are the choice for riders who want the lightest possible grip with great vibration damping -- we reviewed the ESI Chunky if you want the full breakdown.

How to Choose

Thickness and softness are the two main variables. Thicker, softer grips absorb more vibration and are better for longer rides. Thinner, firmer grips give you more feel and feedback -- preferred by more aggressive riders. Lock-on grips are the standard for mountain biking -- they don't slip and are easy to swap.
