GripGrab (Denmark) – Danish cycling and running accessories specialist GripGrab has never made a secret of taking consumer feedback seriously. Together with feedback from their GripGrab Local Heroes, an ingenious invention changes your perception of grip.

They present a new concept to achieve exceptional grip in cycling gloves.

Glove designers usually focus on grip between glove and handlebars rather than on improving overall grip. Adding grip on the outside of the palm does not factor in that handlebar grips normally provide plenty of friction to the glove itself, but that on the inside of the glove, the palm will tend to slide on the palm material and compromise grip.

GripGrab’s solution features silicon grips located inside the glove. They improve friction between glove and palm, making the glove work like a second skin with an unprecedented grip. The fingertips incorporate the same approach and ensure grip to the brake levers and gear shifters.

“Since the majority of mountain bikers already have nonslip grips on their bars which work well with gloves, the real challenge was to ensure the same high level of grip and connectivity between the rider’s hand and the glove. This is where the GripGrab InsideGrip prevails.”, GripGrab Director of R&D, Kristian Kroyer, explains.

There are two models in the new SS17 range benefitting from the InsideGrip innovation. The GripGrab Vertical and Racing full finger MTB and Downhill gloves will give dedicated riders all the grip they could possible wish for, while maintaining GripGrab’s famous high quality and durability. Moreover, using the InsideGrip innovation prevents blisters, as there will be no rubbing between the hand and the glove.
