Happy hands Handlebar Grips – Shifty Grip Mid-Mounts
Shifty Grips Mid-Mount bike grips are designed as an ergonomic solution for anyone riding with a Gripshift™ or other twist shift style shifters. They’re ideal for any rider who wants locking grips that still leave room for bar ends or a mirror.
The Shifty Grip Mid-Mounts have a standard 128mm opened end grip on the left side and the shorter 93.5 mm grip on the right side and the Shifty Grip Duo Mid-Mounts are designed for bikes with double twist shifters so both grips measure 93.5 mm in length.
The Shifty Grips feature a broad ergonomic palm platform that supports hands, warding off fatigue and keeping them comfortable. The underside of the grip is enhanced with a micro texture to engage fingertips to create a positive point of contact between you and your bike. The grips’ all-weather non-slip texture ensures a steady hold no matter the conditions. Say goodbye to tired hands and tingling fingertips during rides. Both come with an innovative expanding bolt mid-grip mounting system. This design ensures that they securely fasten to your handlebars while leaving an open end for bar ends or mirrors.
Perfect replacement grips for anyone with a twist shift bike, including many one-by electric bike models, these grips are an upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
