Red Monkey": New point of contact with the bike

Saddle, pedals and grips are the three points of contact between rider and bike. And people tend to pay little attention to the grips and ride with what's on the handlebars. If you want to upgrade your cockpit, you should take a look at the silicone grips from "Red Monkey", which are now available in Switzerland.

Between the tools from Super B and the parts from Syntace, there is still room for new accessories at distributor Element Sports: "Red Monkey" grips have just been added to the portfolio and are now available. The grips for mountain bike use are made of 100% silicone and are manufactured in the USA. Silicone grips are said to offer several advantages that no other material has: they are twist-proof without a heavy screw clamp, a bomb-proof fit even on carbon handlebars, and the grips should not be affected by mud or rain.

Despite the light weight (48 grams for a pair of grips, including end caps 54 grams), the manufacturer emphasizes the robustness and comfort. The silicone effectively absorbs vibrations and thus relieves strain on the hands and arms. The colorful grips are available in two thicknesses: "Kärv" 5mm and "Kärv(xt)" 6.5mm. All colors and thicknesses are available from the CH distributor Element Sports or from specialist retailers.
