Another WTB innovation, Clamp-On grips bolt securely to the handlebar via two nylon clamps. Unlike the average lock-on type grip that uses a thick, plastic base, Clamp-On technology utilizes a minimal nylon skeleton. Because there is no layer of dense plastic between with your hands and your handlebar, Clamp-On technology is slimmer in profile, more comfortable and lighter weight than lock-ons.

Our Clamp-On grips fasten to the handlebar with bolts and sleeves comprised of corrosion-resistant plated steel. The system works much like a spoke and nipple. The chance of stripping the hardware is greatly reduced with this steel hardware and, because the components are so small, this fastening system weighs almost nothing. The nylon clamps are safe to use with carbon fiber handlebars too.

The Dual Compound Trail grip and the WeirWolf Trail grip both benefit from dual compound rubber. The outside layer of the grip is an easy-on-the-hands soft rubber, while the firm Kraton base material resists twisting and slipping.
