$25 USD , well designed mtb grips with variable durometer materials for better performance.

The OneUp Thick Grips taper in girth from 35mm at their thickest, down to 32.5mm at their thinnest point. They’re designed with extra cushioning and a softer compound to give the rider and “fully locked ion feel” while maximizing grip and minimizing arm pump.

OneUp Thick Grips also include a subtle palm bulge and ridges on the underside of the grips to fit in the creases of the fingers.

  • Diameter: 35mm max/32.5mm min.
  • Length: 138mm

The Thin Grips have no taper and are a straight 29mm diameter for the full length. OneUp says this design “maximizes bike feel and control… simple.”
