How do I choose the right MTB grips?

Choose MTB grips based on riding style. Thicker grips reduce vibration on rough terrain, while thinner grips offer better bar feel and control. Riders wanting a secure fit often prefer lock-on grips.

Should I choose lock-on grips or traditional slide-on grips?

Lock-on grips are secured with clamps, preventing rotation during aggressive riding and making installation easier. Traditional slide-on grips are lighter and often preferred by weight-conscious riders. If you ride technical terrain or want quick replacement options, lock-on grips are likely the more practical choice.

Are bar ends still useful for mountain biking?

MTB bar ends can provide additional hand positions and leverage during climbs, especially for riders tackling long ascents. While less common in aggressive trail riding, they remain a useful upgrade for cross-country riders seeking improved efficiency and comfort.
