Renthal Single Collar Traction Lock-On Grips

The Renthal Single Collar Traction Lock-On Grips are built to deliver secure control, long-term durability, and consistent hand comfort for aggressive mountain bike riding. A permanently integrated, CNC-machined aluminium lock-on collar keeps the grip firmly fixed to the bar, preventing movement under load and ensuring reliable performance in demanding trail conditions. Renthal’s advanced grip design also combines directional traction patterns and tuned rubber compounds to provide dependable grip in wet, muddy, or dry riding environments.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Permanently integrated CNC-machined aluminium collar: The single inboard collar is built directly into the grip body rather than attached separately. This integrated design increases structural strength and reduces the risk of collar movement or failure, ensuring the grip stays securely fixed to the handlebar during hard riding.
• Aramid or Ultratacky rubber compound options: Aramid provides high durability with fibres that resist wear from gloves and repeated use, while Ultratacky uses a softer rubber formula for maximum traction. This choice allows riders to prioritise either long-term lifespan or enhanced grip feel depending on riding style.
• Offset over-mould palm design: The grip uses a thicker layer of soft rubber under the rider’s palm and a thinner layer beneath the fingers. This construction improves shock absorption where pressure is highest while keeping the grip profile thin under the fingers for improved bar control.
• Forward-facing ramped finger ridges: Ramped ridges are positioned to face forward, creating mechanical grip when the rider pulls back on the bars. This improves control during climbs, technical sections, and aggressive acceleration by helping the fingers maintain a firm hold.
• Rearward-facing palm grooves: Grooves on the palm side face the opposite direction to increase grip when the rider loads weight forward into the bars. This directional traction improves hand stability during braking and steep descents.
• Internal soft rubber ribs: Flexible internal ribs expand slightly once installed on the handlebar. This creates a tight and stable fit between the grip and bar, helping reduce unwanted movement while also improving vibration damping.
• Stainless steel fixing screws with deep 3mm socket heads: Corrosion-resistant stainless screws provide reliable clamping strength and resist rounding thanks to the deep socket design. This allows secure installation and easy removal during maintenance.
• Integrated hard plastic ‘R’ end cap and open-ended design: The reinforced end cap protects the grip from damage during crashes or bar strikes, while the open-end channel allows mud and debris to clear from the grip area to maintain consistent traction.

Stable hand contact and predictable grip response are critical for maintaining control on rough terrain. The combination of directional traction patterns, tuned rubber compounds, and the integrated lock-on collar creates a grip that remains secure even during repeated impacts and heavy braking. With targeted cushioning under the palm and a thinner profile under the fingers, the design balances comfort and precision so riders can maintain a confident hold on the bars over long and demanding rides.

Designed for durability, control, and dependable traction, the Renthal Single Collar Traction Lock-On Grips provide a reliable interface between rider and bike. Their integrated collar system, directional grip pattern, and compound options make them a strong choice for riders who value consistent bar control and long service life.
