Handlebar grips play a key role in cycling comfort, control, and hand fatigue reduction. Whether you ride a road bike, commuter, or mountain bike, choosing the right grip type can make your ride smoother and more enjoyable. Our selection includes EVA tape wraps, foam grips, and soft rubber options—all available for fast delivery across New Zealand.

Choosing the Right Grip Type

• Bar Tape (EVA Foam): Ideal for drop handlebars. EVA tape wraps offer vibration dampening and a non-slip surface. Great for road cycling and longer rides.
• Foam Grips: Lightweight and soft, these grips suit flat bars. They provide good cushioning for casual riding, commuting, and light trail use.
• Lock-On Foam Grips: Designed for better security on the bar, these grips are best for mountain biking or rugged terrain. The lock-on rings prevent slipping in wet conditions.
• Rubber Grips: Durable and firm, rubber grips suit riders who want a longer-lasting, grippy surface. Good for urban use and general riding conditions.

Handlebar Compatibility

Most flat bar grips suit handlebars between 20 and 22 mm in diameter. Foam grips typically measure between 11.5 and 12.8 cm in length, making them compatible with common city and MTB handlebars. Tape sets range from 197 cm to 200 cm in length, enough to wrap both sides of a drop bar with coverage left over for trimming or overlap.
