Description
Designed specifically for the plunge-bike enthusiast, the new Gravel Grips grips from Ritchey offer great cushioning support, convenient comfort and confident control for all your gravel adventures. They're also perfect for the road!
Minimalist high-density foam grips have been common on mountain bike handlebars for decades, where they work surprisingly well in the toughest conditions. Since Ritchey has so much experience and history with mountain bikes and gravel riding, we thought, "Why not take the idea of these mountain bike grips, make them longer, mount them on variable height handlebars, and go ride on gravel? We're glad we did - the result is incredible comfort on long rides in rough conditions or on long weekend road trips.
The Gravel Grips high-density foam, soft and flexible, slips over the ends of the drops and easily accommodates the curve of the handlebars and special features such as the Bio-Bend on the VentureMax series of hangers from Ritchey. It's up to you to decide how far up the bar they go. Position them where they meet the caps or cut them as short as you like and tape the rest of the bar. Or... anything in between.
Weighing in at just 50 grams, they won't weigh down your gear. And with a thickness of 4mm, they offer good cushioning without being too bulky.
