Product Information

Full details

The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips are designed for mountain bikers and gravity riders seeking superior vibration damping and fatigue reduction. Featuring a soft VEXK3 compound and an eccentric core, these grips offer exceptional comfort on long rides, though riders who prefer ultra-thin, hard grips may find the 32mm diameter and plush padding slightly bulky.

FAQs

What is the diameter of these grips?

The Gusset S2 Lock-On Grips feature a 32mm outer diameter.

Are these grips suitable for wet weather riding?

Yes, the dual-zone diamond knurl pattern is designed to maintain a secure grip even in muddy or wet conditions.

Can I use these on carbon handlebars?

Yes, they are compatible with carbon bars, but always observe the torque specifications of your handlebar manufacturer.

What tools do I need for installation?

You only need a 3mm hex key to tighten the lock-on clamp.

Are the end caps replaceable?

The grips utilize an integrated lock-on system; the end caps are typically built into the lock-on mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Grip rotation or slipping

Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and free of grease before installation, then re-tighten the alloy clamp bolt.

Visible wear on top surface

Because the grips are directional due to the eccentric core, ensure they are rotated correctly; if worn, check that they are not installed upside down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces hand fatigue on long descents
Extra-soft compound provides excellent vibration damping
Secure lock-on mechanism prevents slippage
Thoughtful ergonomics with dedicated thumb and finger zones
Durable construction suitable for aggressive trail riding

Cons

32mm diameter may feel too thick for riders with smaller hands
Extra soft compound may wear faster than harder rubber grips
Not intended for weight-weenie builds due to alloy clamp focus

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the single-sided alloy lock-on system. Slide the grips onto standard 22.2mm handlebars, ensuring the thicker portion of the eccentric core is positioned toward the palm. Tighten the alloy clamp using a 3mm hex key to the manufacturer's recommended torque setting; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the bolt. To maintain the life of the VEXK3 compound, clean periodically with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh degreasers that can degrade the soft rubber. Inspect the lock-on bolts occasionally to ensure they remain secure after heavy riding sessions.
