Oury Grip

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sizes do Oury grips come in and will they fit my handlebars and hands?

  Oury grips are made for standard 22.2 mm handlebar diameters with a 120 mm (4.5 in) length and an outer diameter around 32 mm, and typical weights range from about 97–141.5 g (3.4–5 oz). Their thick, cushioned profile works well for larger hands and riders who prefer a chunky grip, though the shape is comfortable for most hand sizes.
• How do Oury Single Compound (slip-on) grips compare to Oury Lock-On Grips?

  Oury Single Compound slip-on grips offer the classic soft, cushioned feel and vibration damping from their large pad pattern but can slightly rotate during installation and are more prone to slipping when wet. Oury Lock-On Grips use a clamping collar to eliminate rotation and provide a more secure attachment, making them a better choice for wet or aggressive riding.
• Which Oury models are best for long mountain bike rides, downhill, BMX, or motorcycle use?

  For long trail and downhill rides the Oury Single Compound or Lock-On Grips are popular for their thick, vibration-damping pads and comfort over multi-hour rides; Lock-On versions add security on rough terrain. Oury BMX Grips are optimized for tricks with a very soft, cushioned feel, while Oury ATV and Motorcycle Grips focus on rugged construction and vibration absorption for powered riding.
• What’s the best way to install slip-on Oury grips and prevent them from rotating or slipping?

  Clean the handlebar of old residue first, then use methods like compressed air installation, a light solvent or grip glue, or temporary zip-ties during curing to seat slip-on grips; some riders use spray paint behind the grip for extra grip during installation. If rotation or wet-condition slippage is a concern, choose Oury Lock-On Grips to remove the need for these tricks.
• What materials and design features give Oury grips their comfort and vibration damping?

  Oury grips use a soft rubber compound with large, blocked anti-vibration pad patterns that isolate chatter and reduce hand numbness, and the thick cross-section adds cushioning for long rides. The simple, proven construction is durable and made in the USA, which contributes to their reputation for long service life.
