PNW ComponentsLoam Grip

I ordered the XL version of the grips, and I'm glad I did. The factory grips on my Giant Trance Advanced were very thin, and most of the texture had worn off, requiring a replacement. I ready dozens of articles and reviews of various grips on the market, and decided to go with the Loams. I often find myself having to have out my hands on rides, and almost always end up having a tingling and numbness for hours after a ride. Some research led me to going with a fatter grip than the stock Giant Lock-ons. Once installed, I could immediately feel a difference. The grip felt a little fatter, but not so much that it seemed unusual. The rubber compound offers a lot of purchase on the bars, and the texture is pleasant when riding without gloves. I do ride with gloves nearly all the time, and they also grip extremely well when wearing them. About an hour into a ride, I'm usually feeling the need to shake my hands out to relieve some pain. With the new grips installed, I wasn't feeling that anywhere near as soon. I do have issues with carpal tunnel syndrome, and I believe the fatter grip helped prevent that from being aggravated as quickly.I would like to see the grip include protective end caps, since I sometimes load the bit in the bed of my truck, and occasionally do wreck.I haven't had the grips installed long enough to observe any damage from doing so yet, and maybe it will not be an issue at all. Something I did notice is the grips do not slide on as far as the factory grips, so there was more of a gap between the grip and levers. Overall, it widened the bars by around 3/4 of an inch compared to the original setup. If I notice any trouble getting used to the position f the levers, I'll move them closer to the grips, or if I really like the grips and plan on replacing them with the same thing in the future, I may shorten the bars a bit to tighten things up. So far, it's not enough of a difference to change the way the bike handles on the trails.Overall, I'm very happy to have chosen these grips. They feel great, look good, and come at a reasonable price point. With two sizes and many colors to choose from, it's not hard to find a combination to suit most people's needs. They seem to make my ride less troublesome to my hands.

These bike grips fit perfectly. They are just as described. The color is wonderful. They feel comfortable on my hands. It was very easy to install. They stay put. I highly recommend it. The price was great.

Easy to install and they are very comfortable for the price and the xl fits nice and feels gripy without gloves. And they came 7 days early .

Nice and grippy and also comfortable too.

LOVE these!! Tried many others and these are by far my favorite. Love the taper to thinner as you get closer to center of bar. They fixed my wrist pain. Not overly thick, very grippy and durable. If you need a TON of cushion I would not get these but personally they are my favorite. Tire/suspension setup should be your focus for comfort anyways, not the grips.

Excellent grip, good size, color really pops, and build quality appears to be excellent. I was one of the unlucky ones to receive the grips with a missing screw. Luckily, the lock on grips I was taking off the bike had the same exact screw so I could still install it.

I see these on so many bikes and it’s for good reason these grips are clutch! Super comfortable and tacky, they offer amazing grip in all conditions. The soft compound is easy on the hands during long rides, but still provides great control. I got the extra large ones for more cushion. Not if but when I buy another pair I’ll probably go with the regular ones due to my hand size.

Nice and grippy, perfect amount of tack. Pattern is variable so you get a little firmer, more rigid feel in toward the middle. Locking install was super easy, and the fit was great.Nice gum color, too - not like,one of those weird gum-ish colors that looks strange in real life. This is the color you are expecting when you order something in a gum rubber finish.

Usaba la versión regular pero ésta vez quise probar la version XL y realmente se sienten cómodos, no diría que sólo son para manos grandes, se sienten firmes y creo que también durarán más tiempo al ser mas densos, recomendados!

Igual al color que se anuncia, muy cómodos por el grosor, el agarre es muy bueno por el tamaño, pero no creo que sea por el tipo de goma utilizado, los recomiendo al 100%

Muy buen soporte, se sujetan bastante bien, tengo con ellos aproximadamente 5 salidas que los he ocupado y los recomiendo ampliamente. Veamos que tanto duran.

This product is amazing, the grey loam grips look great and feel great on my bike. I only went around the block with them as it started to rain. I will update my review if i can. They were super easy to put on. The company had reached out to me after I commented on there youtube channel, they wanted to know how the experience was. Thats beyond great customer service!

Love the look and feel of these PNW grips. Just waiting for the dropper post lever to finish it off
