Grips
The handlebars are the only direct point of contact between the bike and the rider, besides the pedals and the saddle. Accordingly, the handlebars are of great ergonomic importance. The wrong handlebars often lead to the typical symptoms of fatigue that probably every cyclist is familiar with. Numb hands, or numb fingertips, aching forearms and shoulders. Especially on long rides, these seemingly harmless impairments can become a real nuisance. But the manufacturers are not to blame! The grips and the saddle are components that can never be 100% suitable for every rider. Fortunately, we offer a variety of different models that allow for customization.
From the classic "horns", to non-slip handles for off-road use, to ergonomic handles made of fine cork or leather, we offer all the usual designs. The wide range of materials, colors, shapes and sizes makes it possible for everyone to find the perfect grip! The better pressure distribution ensures consistent blood flow to the hands and arms. Thanks to the universal fit through forged aluminum clamps and the fair prices, nobody has to compete with numb hands anymore!
Bar ends and "horns"
Bar ends are particularly popular on mountain bikes. Due to the geometry of sporty bikes, the rider usually sits a little more compactly, which allows for better maneuverability in off-road terrain. On long tours, however, you quickly get the feeling that the handlebars and grips are too close to your body. The need to stretch your arms and adopt a different sitting position has led to the development of the curved bar ends on the handlebar end. These allow you to adopt an alternative sitting position and significantly relieve the strain on your arms and hands during long rides. In addition to the classic bar ends for mountain bikes, there are also items for the cross and trekking sector. The uncomplicated attachment to the handlebar end and the high-quality aluminum manufacturing make these little helpers a real relief. Cube also offers its CNC-milled RFR bar ends in a variety of colors, ensuring a clean look. Weighing just 65 grams (135 grams for the trekking version), the bar ends shouldn't be a problem either.
Grippy helpers
There are many reasons to swap out the grips on your bike. Maybe they don't fit perfectly, or you keep slipping on wild rides in the bike park, or maybe the grips have simply worn off after a long period of use. The selection of replacement or upgrade options is so diverse and colorful that there is something for everyone. The Cube Performance grips, the RFR Pro grips and the Cube Race models are specially profiled to provide maximum grip and safety even without gloves. Weighing less than 100 grams, the grips are lighter than the standard models. The grips of the Fritzz, SCR and Pro series rely on less profile and are aimed primarily at off-road freaks who want to enjoy perfect control over their bike while wearing gloves. The use of vibration-damping EVA foam and anodized aluminum caps make these grips real professional tools for the trail.
Ergonomics is key
Comfort grips for improved ergonomics are an absolute must for touring fans. The improved pressure distribution, variable hand position and the option of mounting the grips with bar ends and adjustably result in an almost endless variety of combinations. In addition to the proven models from Ergon, which offer the GS series comfort grips in different sizes, Cube has also positioned itself excellently in the market. The grips of the Cube "Natural Fit" series offer a wide selection of different models. In addition to the simple Tour and Trekking variants, Cube also offers grips with integrated bar ends. These allow for additional functionality and should be particularly appealing to sporty riders. The quality of workmanship and durability is outstanding and guarantees long-term enjoyment, as with all grips in our range!
