Lock-On Trail Grips

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The PRO Lock-On Trail Grips are a clean and reliable spec choice for trail and enduro builds where grip security and dual compound feel are the priorities without unnecessary complexity. The tapered core is a well-considered engineering detail that meaningfully improves lockring retention compared to a straight core design, and the option to run the grip with or without a flange makes it flexible enough to work across a wide range of cockpit configurations and rider preferences. At 32mm diameter and 132mm length it covers the majority of trail and enduro setups without any modification."

Trail and enduro riding generates the kind of repeated high-impact loads and sustained vibration that expose weaknesses in grip construction quickly, and the PRO Lock-On Trail Grips are engineered to perform reliably under exactly those conditions. The dual compound construction pairs a firmer inner material with a more compliant outer layer, delivering a grip that feels connected and precise under hard braking and cornering forces while absorbing enough trail vibration to keep hands fresh across long and demanding descents.

The tapered core is the defining structural detail of the Lock-On Trail Grip design, providing the single lockring with a mechanically advantaged clamping surface that resists rotational movement more effectively than a straight core alternative. As the lockring tightens onto the tapered profile it generates increasing radial clamping force that locks the grip to the handlebar with a security that holds through the repeated torque and impact loads of aggressive trail and enduro use. At 32mm in diameter the grip fits standard mountain bike handlebars directly, and the 132mm length provides adequate coverage for a full range of hand sizes and riding positions without crowding the inboard bar space needed for brake levers and dropper remotes on a fully configured cockpit.

The option to specify the grip with or without a flange gives builders and riders meaningful flexibility across different riding styles and personal preferences, accommodating both riders who prefer the palm support a flanged grip provides on steep descents and those who favor an unobstructed bar end for easier hand repositioning on varied terrain. The single lockring system keeps the overall grip profile clean and the installation process straightforward, making it a practical and high-performing specification across trail and enduro builds at any level.
