Grab On MTN-1 Grips

Old-skool charm

I bought these for a vintage Ritchey mountain bike. Really, unless you can find some good vintage grips, they're about the only game in town. They still look pretty much like the originals, although the foam feels less dense. Comfy, and stick to the bars!

Great soft grips! These went on easily and stay put. No complaints.

I started out with a set of these on my rigid back in '87. Replaced them with some octagonal Ritchey foamies I never liked as much in the early 90s. Was ecstatic to discover they're still available and now run them on that rejuvenated rigid PLUS my modern AM hardtail.
For cheap foam grips, these things are very durable. If installed with just soapy water, they lock on to even Ti bars once they dry. They do tend to twist/slide a little when super-saturated with water.

Pros: Cheap
Light
Durable
Provide good vibration damping
