Durometer Explained

Essentially, durometer is a measure of hardness. The lower the number, the softer the material.

Keep an eye out for this in the "specs" section.

Some models are available in our Supa Soft compound which measures at 9a.

Clamps

Our grips have 3 distinct clamp styles;
single, double & none.

You may or may not have strong feelings about which style to run.

Colours

Our grips are available in a wide range of colours to suit your style and match the rest of your bike.

(Even if your style is all black everything.)

Grip FAQ's

Will Chromag grips fit on my bike? Will Chromag grips fit on my bike?

Almost certainly! Our grips will fit on any bar with a 22.22mm diameter (where the grips sit).
All MTB bars (and most others) are 22.22mm.

Can I buy replacement clamps? Can I buy replacement clamps?

You can! Find them here.

Is there a downside to softer grips? Is there a downside to softer grips?

Generally speaking, the softer the grip (lower durometer number), the quicker it will wear out.

How do I install Wax grips? How do I install Wax grips?

To mount non-lock-on grips, we recommend placing some cable ties (approximately five) inside the grip with the clasp at the outer edge of the grips. Slide the grips on - the zip ties should allow a smooth and easy installation. Once the end of the grip is flush with the end of the bar, use pliers to pull the zip ties out, one at a time, from the grips. Voila!
Compressed air is also an option.

Installation tips Installation tips

You can read the full user guide here, but the main points are:
• Follow handlebar torque specs.
• Make sure the grips are on all the way, especially for single clamp models. Lightly tap with a mallet if unsure.
• Never use hammer-in style bar end plugs in carbon bars.

A Chromag Grip Guide

As one of three touch points connecting you to your bike, the choice of grips matters as it influences how secure and comfortable you feel as you barrel...

The grip we needed

The Supa Soft Dune is the undisputed best lock on grip I’ve ever used. I can finally stop glueing my Renthal grips because these have all the comfort to stop arm pump in the park and the convenience of lock ons.

I bought one pair used them once then bought six more to have on hand.

The only thing I would change is the bar ends being a harder rubber instead of plastic but this is a minor detail and doesn’t impact how the grip performs/feels.

Supasoft 7 / 10 - Could be improved

Pros:
-Soft rubber
-Decent damping for a lock on grip with hard plastic core
-Looks good
-Thin profile (personal preference)
-Lock on only one side

Cons:
-Rubber would be better if tackier a la Renthal ultra tacky
-Hard plastic core so still not as much damping as similar diameter push on grip
-End of grip opposite lock on is made of hard plastic that isn't fully connected to soft rubber that makes up the grip (unlike ODI Elites and DMR Deathgrips that use the same stuff at the grip end too). Problem is the hard plastic digs into your hands if you're the type to hang hands over ends of the bar. Pretty annoying and uncomfortable to feel that hard plastic edge.

Overall 7/10

Hi Rich,
Thank you very much for this thorough review.
We always look at improving our products, and will take this into consideration.
Thanks again,
Cheers,
JM

Stoked on this new grip! Glad that there is a new Chromag single clamp. I love the design and feel of the pattern. Thanks.

Dune, like the movie?

I'll start by saying that I work at Chromag.

I've had a few rides on this grip as a replacement for the Format. I've always liked the size of the Format grip but the uniform profile of the Dune is even easier to get along with.

I've had a lot of skiers thumb injuries and this is my favourite grip for reducing fatigue and sprains.

Thanks for listening!

Supa Soft Supa Grippy

Been running these grips now for about 12 months in a variety of conditions. I like not wearing gloves and have found these grips wear in beautifully and have a ton of grip in dry conditions. They have just got better the more you ride them.

Initially you will get a fair bit of rubber left on your palms but this is the path to the perfect grip. The compound feels as if the grip is forming to your palm.

The only downside I found is when wet/sweaty gloves are needed [Dirt gloves also help a ton], when wearing gloves though you feel like you're glued to your bars.

Found my new grip now!
