How To Install SuperGripz Bike Grips
Quick & Easy Installation For Maximum Comfort
Installing SuperGripz is simple and only takes a few minutes. Proper installation helps ensure maximum comfort, vibration absorption, and grip performance while riding.
SuperGripz are designed to move very slightly during riding to help absorb shocks and reduce vibration transferred through the handlebars. This helps improve comfort and may help reduce hand numbness, pins and needles, and palm fatigue on rough terrain and long rides.
Step 1 – Remove Existing Grips & Bar Ends
Carefully remove:
-
Existing grips
-
Old bar ends
-
Dirt or residue from the handlebars
Ensure the handlebars are completely clean before fitting your new SuperGripz.
Step 2 – Clean The Handlebars Properly
Use:
-
Isopropyl rubbing alcohol
OR -
Hairspray
Apply using a clean lint-free cloth.
This helps:
-
Clean the surface
-
Improve grip installation
-
Allow the grips to slide on easier during fitting
Do NOT use:
-
Washing up liquid
-
Greasy lubricants
-
Oils
Allow the bars to fully dry before riding.
Step 3 – Fit The SuperGripz
Slide the SuperGripz firmly onto the handlebars.
You can:
-
Adjust the final position
-
Trim the grips to your preferred length if required
SuperGripz are designed to fit securely while still allowing slight movement to help absorb vibration during rides.
Step 4 – Install The Bar Ends
Fit the supplied large bar ends securely.
The larger bar ends are specifically designed to help hold the SuperGripz in place and improve overall grip stability.
Installation Tips
✔ Allow grips to fully dry before riding
✔ Ensure handlebars are clean before installation
✔ Use isopropyl alcohol or hairspray only
✔ Trim carefully if shortening grips
✔ Ensure bar ends are tightened correctly
Why Do SuperGripz Move Slightly?
SuperGripz are intentionally designed to move slightly during riding to help absorb shocks and reduce vibration.
This cushioning effect helps improve comfort and may help reduce:
-
Hand numbness
-
Palm pressure
-
Pins and needles
-
Wrist fatigue
-
Vibration discomfort
55mm SuperGripz Installation Advice
Due to their larger size and additional cushioning, 55mm SuperGripz may move slightly more than the 35mm or 45mm versions.
This is normal and part of the shock-absorbing design.
If you prefer a firmer fit:
-
Ensure bars are completely clean
-
Use contact adhesive carefully
-
Allow grips to fully dry before riding
