Over the years, bicycle design has undergone a remarkable evolution, however, amidst this progress, a crucial anchor point - the hands-has often been neglected.

Considering this oversight, our pioneering lock-on grip emerges as a beacon of attention to detail and rider wellbeing. Backed by rigorous scientific insights, which underline the damaging effects of impacts and vibrations on joints, arms, hands, and wrists during rugged mountain biking endeavours, we have developed a revolutionary solution.

Choose more than just a grip; embrace a partner in your pursuit of conquering rugged terrains and pushing beyond limits.

With our innovation at your grasp, every ride becomes an opportunity to amplify joy and comfort.
Benefit

1

The oblong shape offers a more natural hand and grip position thereby reducing hand fatigue.

2

The air plenum boasts an innovative air-cushioned membrane which enhances rider comfort.

3

Flexible constructed material offers increased durability.

4

Floating grips incorporate an advanced internal shock attenuation system, reducing impact on hands, wrists, and arms.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The grip is positioned between two static pins, allowing it to float, while enabling vertical movement of approximately 10 millimetres perpendicular to the handlebar. When a shock or impact occurs, the handlebar would move inside the grip which attenuates the impact and dissipates the force, in effect dampening the impact to the rider. The plenum acts like a cushion, soaking up the shocks so your hands do not have to. Next time you are on the trails, remember that the plenum has your back (and your hands)

So how do only a few millimeters of movement dampen impact?

Time

When an impact occurs, the duration of the impact plays a crucial role in the force experienced. By extending the duration of the impact the force is spread out over a longer period. This reduces the peak force and decreases the likelihood of injury. Even a small amount of movement, such as a few millimetres can increase the duration of the impact and consequently reduce the force exerted on the body.

Energy Distribution

When an impact force is applied to a structure or object the energy associated with the impact needs to be dissipated. If the structure or object is rigid the impact energy is transferred directly, leading to a high force concentration at the impact site. However, introducing movement allows the energy to be distributed across a larger area or absorbed by the surrounding materials. This energy dispersion helps reduce the force experienced at a specific point and minimizes the risk of injury.
