Handles

A point of contact with the bike that probably receives the least attention. But they deserve special attention: the grips form the central connection to your bike. Braking, shifting, steering, accelerating - your hands and fingers instinctively react to the changing demands of the track at lightning speed. Your hands need the necessary grip for this, so that you have full control over your bike at all times.

The materials used play a major role in the grip and comfort.
In addition, the material used also plays a major role in comfort and grip. It should be soft enough to absorb shocks from the ground. You must not slip on the surface with gloves or sweaty hands. And last but not least, a pleasant feeling on the inside of your hands ensures comfort. Ergonomic grips are made of various rubber and plastic compounds, and sometimes cork. The composition suitable for you depends, as well as the shape, on the surface and riding style

Special grip sets are offered for city and trekking bikes, which can also be combined with a twist shifter on the handlebar. Bar Ends (colloquially known as "handlebar horns") are also available.
