Members of our team have continued using ESI grips over the years for the obvious reasons. They're affordable, comfortable, low weight and definitely withstand the punishments these kids put them through. ESI grips allow the riders to be creative as individuals, or as a team with the many color options you're able to choose from. A tried and true product, great people, Bear Development is stoked to be joining forces with ESI grips for the 2017 season!

When I ride I don't want to have to worry about my hands going numb. These grips provide the perfect amount of chunkyness needed for my long MTB rides. I am so glad I found the perfect pair for me!

I have been using ESI grips since I began mountain biking a year and a half ago. I tend to use the chunky ones in black as they aesthetically complete my bike. They offer extreme comfort even during long 6 hour races. Not only is the comfort outstanding, the grip is phenomenal and still work great without gloves. Even better is that they come in several different colors which makes it possible to keep that all important color scheme in check. Highly recommend!

I just rode 67 miles with 10,000ft of climbing in 7 hours and 49 mins offroad in Cloudcroft,NM using these grips. My hands thanked me for it. No numbness, no blisters. I have been using these grips for 3 years now and love them. I wouldn't use anything else. I like the fact that I can ride without gloves for hours with no issues. Go get ya some!

By far the best grips I've ever used in the durability and comfort aspect. Riding over a thousand miles in the Alaskan mountains and racing and an entire season on a single set of grips is amazing to me and still as comfortable as they were from day one.

The esi grips are the best of both worlds. you get the incredibly lightweight silicone material, and the the most grip on your bars at all times. I personally like the chunky grips because they are the median of racers edge, and the extra chunky, which is the perfect combination of both.

ESI grips are perfect for me. The smooth soft surface doesn't create any hot spots (numbness), they wear evenly and remain grippy 'till the bitter bitter end. Even in the rain! If that wasn't enough, the vast array of color choices allows me to mix things up from time to time. Red this year, blue next year… or do I want to do custom color combos? The choices are endless!

If your searching for a great "glove free" grip look no further! These offer plenty of tackiness, and outstanding comfort. They are also a easy way to give that personal touch when doing custom grips.

I race with ESI grips on my mountain bike for all the 6 and 24 hour races I do. I have great grip while sweating in the hot sun and in the pouring down rain and never any numbness or blisters. Plus I love all the color options!

These are my favorite grips! Any time I get a bike, the first thing I do is switch to esi chunky grips. They absorb shock, are really lightweight, and don't give my hands blisters like other rubber grips do. I'll never go away from silicone grips- thank you!

The Esi chunky grips that I purchased have been the best grips I have ridden. Esi grips are extremely comfortable and have reduced all arm pump I have had in past compared to other brands. I recommend esi grips to all riders.

I love my chunky's. I've been running these for a year now and would not change them out for anything. These are super comfy and no more hand pain on long rides. Light weight and soft what else could you ask for!

I have ridden Esi's since my first season mountain biking. Personally I love the chuncky grips for XC, Enduro and even DH because they offer a comfortable soft ride, while being able to feel the bar and movement of the bike extraordinarily well. Excelent job ESI!

I think the chunky grips are perfect for xc racing and riding. They are lightweight, comfortable, and look great.
Kyle Little –
Best grips I have ever used! These grips got me though a 100 mile mtb race with over 12,000 feet of vertical! After 14 hours and 55 minutes without gloves, my hands were just as comfy at the finish as they were at the start. (and there was a thunderstorm for a few hours somewhere in the middle)
Laura Leaton –
These are the only grips I use! Perfect for xc, trail, and everything in between! Very comfortable, never slip, and surprisingly tactile even with the smooth surface.
Tom Hellmann –
Best grips out there! Easy to install. Great grip. Stays put, no throttling. Huge selection of colors plus bar end plugs to add some bling to any bike. Get some!
Chris Mehlman –
I love the Chunky grips for XC racing and general trail riding! They help me to feel more solidly attached to and planted on my bike, and I have confidence that I will be able to have grip in all situations. Additionally, ESI grips come in a wide variety of cool colors!

I've ridden on ESI grips for 7+ years. A few years back, I had two herniated discs. The Chunky's let me ride with a greatly reduced amount of pain while I PT'd recovery.
Sp Carver –
Most comfortable grips on the market: First a disclosure: I have a c. For years I struggled with a few bad crashes and many near misses because I had a hard time holding the right side of my right handlebar due to the nerve pain from vibrations. I finally tried ESI Chunky grips and it changed my riding experience. The softness and feel of the ESI grips completely solved the issues I felt with so many other grips and the constant vibration issue. If I crash now it's because I'm pushing my limits…not because I can't hold the handlebar. Best grips I've ever used. -SP Carver

These grips have been a game changer for longer xc rides. Hand numbness is gone while having more grip than ever on the bar. These are lighter than comparable lock-ons with much more give and more color choices to perfectly customize your bike. No problem with slipping at all and everyone that tries them immediately wants a pair.
Zachary Fernau –
ESI Chunky grips are my go to grips for XC racing and general trail riding. They are the perfect balance of thickness and comfort and soak up all that small chatter that can wear you down during a ride. I have been riding this grips for 4 years now and its safe to say ill never be going back!
John Thomas Swarr –
I love these grips! I am an avid xc racer and I have struggled with hand cramps from death gripping for most of my career. I heard a lot of great things about these grips so I figured I would give them a try. I fell in love after the first ride! Not only were my hand cramps gone, but I felt more connected to the bike which improved my handling skills! I would highly recommend these grips to any mountain biker!

Fork a bit rough and need servicing but you don’t have time to get it fixed? Need lightweight grips without compromising comfort? Want a grip that will mold to you hand? Want fun colors to match your bike or kit? Put a pair of ESI Grips on your bike and solve all your problems!

I love having my ESI chunky grips on my 29er race bike. Along with most of my other teammates on the Roots Racing Team. The variety and color options in all the grips are #1 in the business. We’re proud to be a ESI grips Team👊
Christopher Mehlman –
The Chunky Grips are the best size for all day comfort. As someone who does a lot of long rides and races, they allow me to ride all day without worrying about hand or wrist pain. They are simple, yet provide amazing grip in all conditions. As a bonus they come in great colors!! Pro tip: you can also cut and customize them to work with twist lock!
Lauren Cantwell –
These grips are amazing. They provide protection and comfort even on the chunkiest terrain. I’ve had blisters recover after switching to them. The price point is also excellent.
Maddox Baca –
I have been using Chunky ESI grips since I started mountain biking. I have continued to use them because of their comfort with and without gloves. These grips look very good and come in many different colors. This makes a bike aesthetically complete. When riding with Chunky grips my hands feel comfortable and I never get arm pump which helps during long races. They are the perfect grips and I would 100% recommend!
Shane Johnson –
Once you go ESI, you’ll never look back! I’ve been on them for 5+ years and the Chunky Grips have been absolutely amazing! They are a fantastic value and are wicked comfortable, keeping my hands so happy! Definitely recommend getting yourself a pair!

I prefer ESI grips because of the comfort it provides me on the bike. I have been known to death grip on the mountain bike and the chunky grips have been able survive to it. They last a long time and provide comfort for hours on end on all terrains!

As an xc racer I want my bike to be as light as possible but I also want it to be comfortable with ESI grips it does both of those things, being comfortable on the bike is what helps win races with ESI grips I can preform at my highest with out a worry in the world that my grips will fail me.

When we were searching for the most comfortable and durable grips for the Absa Cape Epic 2021, we trusted the Chunky by ESI Grips and surprisingly, they were absolutely amazing. Warm, dusted, wet trails were ridden with confidence!
Dalton King –
I’ve been using these grips since I started mountain biking 3 years ago. They have performed perfectly for the variety of conditions I have put them through.
I have never even tried another grip for obvious reasons of comfort, low weight, affordability, so many colors, and even shock absorbing! When you purchase ESI grips your supporting great people as well.
Robert Edwards –
Good looking and easy to install. Most importantly offer great comfort, grip and value with a multitude of options to please the pickiest rider. A definite winner. Company is responsive to questions as well.

I really like Chunky’s as they seem to mate up well with a wide variety of glove choices, while still providing great grip when used barehanded.
Best blend of comfort, price, weight, and security I have found in a grip.

When you look around a team ride and every rider is using some iteration of ESI grips, one thinks “Why do we not have a sponsorship with these guys?” There are a handful of grip choices but only one ESI and they are, in a word, the best. They’re light, durable, comfortable, affordable…and, maybe best of all, CUSTOMIZABLE! They simply can’t be beat in performance and have options from thin to chunky to fatty to choose from. So, I’m pleased to announce we dropped an email to the ESI team and Rescue Racing has officially joined up with ESI for 2022. Can’t wait to get some turquoise and orange grips custom made to match the 2022 team kits.

I’ve been using ESI grips for as long as I’ve been riding and racing and they are by far the most comfortable grips I’ve used, I suffer from finger pain and these grips help reduce that when riding making the overall experience while riding so much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Perfect grips when you need that extra comfort for the long rides but also fast and stylish!
Best grips I’ve ever used!!

I have used these grips for several use for training and racing. They are the most comfortable grips I have used, there light and they withstand races and hard training. I fully recommend them if you’ just started riding or a full racer.

I’ve been using ESI grip (Chunky and Racer’s Edge) for a few years now. I run a youth mountain bike team and many of them have been using ESI grips and bar plugs to keep them safe on the trails as well. I first became aware of ESI from my local bike shop and haven’t used any other brand since. LOVE THEM! My hands no longer have issues when riding.

I was first introduced to ESI grips from my local bike shop and I fell in love. I now have them on two of my bikes. I run a youth mountain bike team and many of the riders also have the ESI grips as well. We love the bar plugs also to keep everyone safe on the trails!
Anthony Audet –
The most comfortable grips available, with the best grip for all conditions, rain or shine. I use the big grips on my mountain bike and also on my fatbike in Quebec winter conditions. In winter, the grips stay soft and provide the grip we want in very cold temperatures. Trying them is adopting them.

By far the most comfortable grips out there for mtb. Also pretty durable and super easy to install with the right technique. Wouldn’t run anything else.
Aaron Tuttle –
LOVE my chunky grips. Help with long rides and grip strength. Being able to match your bike is a perk too.

My team and I have used ESI MTB Chunky Grips and the RCT Wraps for the past three years and they are our favorite. On the MTB side, they are the most comfortable grip on the market (and the most stylish with a bunch of different color options). When it rains and gets wet they still have plenty of grip – say goodbye to your gloves. For the road wraps, they are very durable and comfortable for very long rides.
Tyler Ebbert –
These are quite simply the best grips I have ever used, although they are quite simple in design they make it easy to ride without gloves and have good shock protection
Tyler Ebbert –
Weigh nothing, keeps your hands from going numbs, and you can wear them without gloves. Phenomanal!
Guillermo Rosaly –
Been using these grips for the past five race and training seasons. They are extremely durable and great quality. Help my hands stay sturdy and they certainly help absorb most shock and vibrations from under the bike when riding a rigorous trail. Great plus for these grips is they respond well in all weather conditions.
Tyler Brown (verified owner) –
I have been running these grips for close to 4 years now and I love them. They are the most comfortable grips I have used and I will never go back to anything else. They are lightweight and easy to replace and change out. I can’t wait to try out some of their other products.
Malaki –
Best grips in the industry, the only ones I will run! They’re comfy and look great! For those of you that have a difficult time with your hands going numb during rides, give these a try!
Andreas Drekonja (verified owner) –
By far my favorite grips on the market for a variety of reasons, extremely good vibration dampening, almost no hand slip even when riding on hot summer days, and last but not least the price being well below that of products of a similar quality. Another plus being the ease of installation only requiring rubbing alcohol and they will slide on no problem.
Emma Maaranen –
Best thing about ESI grips: you can get the right diameter for your hands! I have smaller hands and when the grip diameter is too big for me, I subconsciously hold onto my bars too tightly. This makes for jerky bike handling and a general sense of insecurity when maneuvering through rough terrain. Chunky size is my Cinderella!
Justin Martin –
ESI grips are not only some of the lightest grips in the market, they are also some of the most comfortable grips.

Best grips on the market! Absorbs vibrations that the bike doesn’t and stays grippy 24/7
