Your cart is empty.We can’t promise to keep your hands warm as the seasons change, but we can keep your paws feeling fresh with our all new Loam Grip. We packed this grip full of features, like an ultra tacky compound and ergonomic pattern to support your palms and help relieve any fatigue caused by trail chatter and long days in the saddle. The Loam Grip features two contrasting patterns and these dueling motifs play an important ergonomic role. Thin strips run horizontally across the grip’s surface for enhanced traction and supple feel, while the thicker mountain pattern helps support the pad of your hand. Beefing up this outer zone with a heartier design combats compound deterioration, ensures the grip is absorbing more vibration and provides needed structure to support the additional body weight pressing down on this area. The Loam Grip was purpose built for Enduro/Trail riding, and with that in mind picking the compound was extremely important. We needed to identify a blend that was soft enough to absorb vibration, yet firm enough to keep its shape under pressure. We call this the “happy camper” blend, because it strikes a balance between an ultra soft material that wears too quickly and a harder compound that provides no tactile benefits.

Been riding thinner grips for the last year or so and needed some new grips for the upcoming season. Decided to give the XL model a try and like the way they feel. A bit more cushioning for the hands but more importantly to me the diameter makes for a better feel overall for my larger hands. Install as with all lock on grips was very easy. I do wish they made a version that had solid bar end plugs available but that is more a wish list item than anything that affects its performance. Will purchase again when these wear out, PNW just plain makes great parts.

About the same girth as ESI super chunky. Doesn't twist. Very comfy for my large hands.

I can easily get a full season of riding out of these grips compared to other brands. Overall, they’re quality grips that work well and look great.

Excellent grip, good size, color really pops, and build quality appears to be excellent. I was one of the unlucky ones to receive the grips with a missing screw. Luckily, the lock on grips I was taking off the bike had the same exact screw so I could still install it.

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.

Nice and grippy, perfect amount of tack. Pattern is variable so you get a little firmer, more rigid feel in toward the middle. Locking install was super easy, and the fit was great.Nice gum color, too - not like,one of those weird gum-ish colors that looks strange in real life. This is the color you are expecting when you order something in a gum rubber finish.

These are very nice grips. Soft and comfortable for long rides. Not slippery when hands get sweaty. Look nice and install easily. A little pricey, but worth it. Like them sufficiently to buy a second pair to put on another bike.

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.

Really happy with these. I'm doing some budget upgrades and these are great while still maintaining quality. Really quick delivery, they're lite and stirdy and feel good on the hands. The cement grey looks great on my bike too. I recommend.
