They’re a key contact point, so don’t skimp on grip, comfort or security <\/p>

Installing a set of the best mountain bike grips is an easy way to make a big difference to your riding by improving comfort and control at one of the key contact points on your bike.<\/p>\n

Mountain bike grip choice is as personal as it gets and there are no hard and fast rules here about which ones to go for. However, shock and absorption, width and surface texture are three things to bear in mind when considering which mountain bike grips to get.<\/p>\n

You might be happy with a relatively thin and firm grip if you\u2019re riding cross-country, but you\u2019ll likely want something with a bit more cushioning and a grippier surface if you\u2019re heading downhill.<\/p>\n

Length of grip is another thing to consider. If you have large hands or run a wide handlebar, you might appreciate longer grips, but if space on your bar is limited you might want to go for a shorter grip.<\/p>\n

Most of the grips here are lock-on grips that have clamps. These are good because they stay in place and don\u2019t move around, as other clamps can.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, read on to find out about the best grips our expert testers have got their hands on.<\/p>\n
