This guide is for cyclists seeking enhanced comfort and control on their rides. The Clarks Dimple Surface Pattern Grip offers improved palm support and cushioning thanks to its unique dimpled design, the primary caveat being its single lock ring which may require careful tightening. It features a durable, long-lasting material, an easy-to-use single lock ring, and effective cushioning and support for the palm.

These grips are best suited for flat bar bikes like mountain bikes, hybrids, and commuters, where enhanced comfort and palm support are beneficial. They are not designed for drop handlebars.
The grips are made from a long-lasting, hard-wearing material designed for durability. The dimple pattern is integrated into the material for sustained performance.
Yes, the dimple pattern provides a good surface for grip. However, like all grips, performance may be reduced in very wet conditions. Ensure they are cleaned and dried after wet rides.
The raised central area is designed to improve palm support, reducing pressure points and potential discomfort during longer rides.
It is recommended to check the tightness of the lock ring periodically, especially after the first few rides, and before any long or strenuous cycling trips.
Typically, an Allen key (hex wrench) is required to tighten the single lock ring. The size may vary, but 4mm or 5mm are common.
Ensure the single lock ring is properly tightened using the correct tool. Check that there is no debris between the lock ring and the handlebar.
Avoid exposing the grips to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Clean with a mild soap and water solution and ensure they are dry.
Ensure the handlebar end is clean and free of obstructions. A small amount of rubbing alcohol or grip glue can sometimes aid installation (ensure compatibility before use).
Setup: Slide the grips onto the handlebar ends. Ensure the 'Clarks' logo or the raised central area is positioned for optimal palm support. Once in place, tighten the single lock ring using an appropriate tool (usually an Allen key) until the grip is securely fixed and does not rotate. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the handlebar or the lock ring.
Compatibility: These grips are designed to fit standard bicycle handlebars with an outer diameter of 22.2mm, which is the common size for most flat bars, mountain bike bars, and some hybrid bike bars. They are not typically compatible with drop handlebars or oversized handlebars.
Care: Clean the grips periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could degrade the material. Ensure the lock ring remains clean and free of debris to maintain its function. Allow the grips to air dry completely before use.
