Cross country racing is demanding, requiring the ultimate in concentration, plus confidence in every little part of your race rig. That's why our XC Race Grips are designed to be super light and to provide an excellent bar feel that's more than just comfortable. Further along these lines, we made them to be low profile and with an incredible hand-to-bar contact that delivers a feeling of confident control and superior handling over the most technical of race courses.

  • Low profile design provides more direct feel and improved bar control.

  • Silicone/foam material provides optimal comfort and grip. Available in regular and X-Large sizes.

  • The grips' tacky texture provides added bar control.

  • Small/Medium diameter: 30mm

  • Large/X-Large diameter: 32mm

Not quite right

I've used ESI grips for a long time. I've also used ODI Vapor grips and Wolf Tooth Karv. These are much much more firm than any others. I ordered the small and large since they were on sale super cheap, but there's no discernable size difference between the two. Not sure if that was a mistake.

Silicone grips - wanted to like these

Have been a long time user of silicone grips and was excited to find these from specialized to add to my Epic. These are very difficult to put on, even with copious amounts of rubbing alcohol. I ended up tearing one side during install. I have never had this level of difficulty with any other grip. I bought 2 pairs and am hesitant to attempt to install again.

I loved the rubber ridged

I loved the rubber ridged grips that came on my Epic HT, but life happened and I needed a replacement after a few years. These foam grips are PERFECT for racing, esp when the trail gets a little abusive.

The foam kinda retains water

The foam kinda retains water a little bit so after sitting out in the rain they get soggy so I did like the color but the type of material I didn't like.

Decent squish

Definitely a challenge to install but they won't go anywhere.
