ESI Grips Chunky silicone MTB grips, Black, 32mm thick 130mm length for extra comfort and vibration damping

ESI Grips Chunky are soft silicone mountain bike grips engineered to increase comfort and control with a larger 32mm diameter and a slip-on, no-adhesive design.

These Chunky MTB grips from ESI Grips combine a plush silicone feel with durable construction so riders can stay comfortable and confident across technical trails or long e-bike commutes. The extra-thick 32mm diameter reduces hand fatigue by spreading pressure over a wider surface, while the lightweight, 130mm length keeps handling precise. They arrive ready to mount with no glue or clamps required and can be trimmed to fit shorter bars.

How do Chunky grips change comfort on long rides?

The thicker 32mm profile cushions the palm, absorbing vibration and reducing hotspots that cause numbness. Softer silicone flexes under load to lower pressure points while maintaining a stable feel for steering and braking.

• 32mm diameter reduces pressure on hands and wrists
• Soft silicone material absorbs trail chatter and vibration
• Lightweight design (approximately 60g) avoids added inertia
• Length 5-1/8" (130mm) supports various hand positions

Will these grips stay secure without glue or clamps?

Yes — the Chunky grips use silicone’s natural tack to cling to handlebars, eliminating the need for adhesive or end clamps. They install simply by pushing onto clean, standard-diameter bars and remain snug through normal riding loads.

• Slip-on fit for standard handlebars
• No bar adhesion required — resists spinning under torque
• Can be trimmed to customize length without compromising fit
• Works with most brake and shifter setups

How durable are these silicone MTB grips for trail use?

Chunky grips are built from a resilient silicone compound designed to handle repeated impacts, weather exposure, and regular wear. The material resists tearing and maintains its grip characteristics in wet or dry conditions, offering a long service life for both recreational and demanding use.

• Durable silicone resists abrasion and UV exposure
• Performs well in wet or dry environments
• Trusted by riders and tested under real-world conditions
• Easy to clean — simply rinse or wipe down

Can I use Chunky grips on an e-bike?

Absolutely — the Chunky’s thicker diameter and shock-absorbing silicone are particularly helpful on e-bikes where higher speeds and extra weight can increase vibration and handlebar feedback. They fit standard bars and offer improved comfort for longer assisted rides.

• 32mm diameter helps dampen e-bike vibration
• Compatible with standard e-bike handlebar diameters
• Lightweight so they won’t negatively affect handling dynamics
• Trim-to-fit length for custom setups

Who is this for: The ESI Grips Chunky silicone MTB grips are ideal for mountain bikers and e-bike riders who prioritize hand comfort and vibration damping without sacrificing control. They suit riders with larger hands or anyone seeking relief from numbness and fatigue on trail days, enduro stages, daily commutes, or long tours. Because they’re simple to install, low-maintenance, and weather resistant, they’re a practical upgrade for beginners through experienced cyclists looking for durable, comfortable handlebar contact points.
