Momum offers grip comfort from the 3D printer

Momum Yume: Dank der Netzstruktur aus dem 3D-Drucker sollen die Yume-Griffe in Sachen Dämpfung und Grip neue Massstäbe setzen.

Handlebar grips usually only differ in terms of color, shape and mounting method. The grip material is often either foam or rubber. Momum take a different approach and produce their Yume grips using 3D printing technology. The special mesh structure is designed to give the grip surface unprecedented shock absorption and grip.

There are handlebar grips galore, in different colors and shapes, but practically all made of rubber or foam. The Momum brand is not reinventing the grip, but its structure. With a structure similar to that found on saddles, Momum produces the Yume grips using 3D printing technology. An EPU41 elastomer resin treated with DLS (Digital Light Synthesis) technology is used as the basis for production.

Thanks to the special mesh structure, the grips are said to offer unprecedented vibration damping. According to the manufacturer, they have an absorption capacity of over 80 percent. The structure also improves grip in any riding situation and weather conditions.

The Yume are not screw-in grips, so they are plugged in. They weigh around 55 grams and cost the pittance of almost 110 euros, a price that, unlike 3D printing technology, has little chance of a future.
