Lack of grip safety

A secure grip is crucial for optimum control and a safe riding experience on the handlebars. If the necessary grip is lacking, this can not only lead to tiredness and pain in the hands, but also increase the risk of losing control of the bike, which can be particularly dangerous in demanding riding conditions.

Grip Width Measurement

Secure grip and grip size

Determining the grip width should be the first step in finding the right grip. Thanks to our sizing system, the external wing and the Ergobar, you can always fully enclose the bicycle grips. The different sizes differ in length, shape and diameter.

Possible reasons for the lack of grip safety

1. Grip size

The optimal fit is crucial for comfort and a secure grip.

A bicycle grip that is too large or too small can cause various risks: Insecurity when gripping, fatigue and discomfort, limited control, reaction time and comfort restrictions. To ensure a comfortable, safe and efficient riding experience, it is important to determine the grip width before buying grips and then select the bicycle grips according to the hand size and individual preferences of the rider.

2. The shape of the grip

The grip must not only fit the hand but also the riding style.

A lack of grip in wet or muddy conditions, early onset of fatigue, pressure points and pain, lack of vibration damping that can lead to numbness and loss of comfort. A grip that is not carefully designed for the specific riding style can lead to a significant loss of comfort. SQlab offers the right grip for every type of riding, in different sizes to meet the diverse and varied needs and requirements of cyclists.

3. The relief wing does not fit

The relief wing must be correctly dimensioned.

The proper sizing of the relief wings is crucial for optimal functionality. Oversized wings can hinder gripping and braking. Conversely, undersized wings may fail to relieve pressure on nerves. Short wings can create a pressure edge, potentially blocking the carpal tunnel. We design our relief wings based on hand size and intended use, ensuring optimal placement, support, and relief.

The relief wing should be placed as far out as possible to keep the carpal tunnel exit largely free and reduce pressure. In addition, this improves grip security, especially when leaning forward. At the latest when you next brake hard, you will appreciate this space for safe support.
