Wolf ToothSilicone Mountain Bike Grips: Mega Fat Paw

Fits my big old hands nicelyMore cushion for comfort

I ordered these to try them on my mountain bike. I've been mountain biking for 26 years and I sometimes experience numb hands or pain on the downhill. I also have XL hands, so I figured I'd try these grips out. Well, I like them so much, I've installed them on all four of my bikes. I have a Transition Spire, a Giant eTrance, a Noroc Bigfoot, and a GT Avalanch that I use for commuting. All of them jave fat paws on them now.

These are great! I’ve put them on my 2020 Trek Rail 9.7 and on my 2021 Intense Tazer. Been riding MTB’s since the early 80’s (really!) and never strayed outside normal Moto sized grips. Duh…These give me more flexibility as to how I brake (one finger) because I have a better grip on the bars and don’t feel like my fingers are going 2x’s around the bars like normal. I have a lot of the normal sports injuries that older guys accumulate and these do a good job of isolating me from the vibration and impact of the bars. They’re grippy with all the gloves I’ve tried so far and I don’t mind that they don’t have texture or any contour to them, they seem tacky enough that I don’t ever slip. Haven’t crashed on a pair yet but I’d guess they’d tear easier than a rubber grip but that’s just a guess. I use windex to put grips on normally and these took a bit more effort to wrestle them on than I expected even with a lot of spraying. They’re thick so that’s perhaps what keeps them from stretching on easily. Once on they haven’t moved at all on the Renthal carbon bars (which aren’t shiny carbon which might help) All in all a good buy and I wish I’d tried them a long time ago.

First of all, they are very comfortable and provide excellent vibration damping. I have purchased them five times. Here's a tip if you need to remove them for any reason. If you don't have an air compressor, read no further. Two purchases were made due to me cutting them off the handlebars when replacing mechanical brakes with hydraulic brakes. I couldn't get them off! This became very expensive so the last time I needed to remove them I found a video that made safe removal very easy. Stick an air gun nozzle under the grip. If you have 150 psi it will come off very easy. Lower psi will still work but you will have to twist the grip and apply force. There are YouTube videos with more details.

I am 6’7” and these grips made riding much more comfortable. I can ride for over an hour without my hands starting to lose feeling like I experienced after 15-20 minutes with the factory grips.

Works well for my big hands

Have used these grips for a couple seasons now and they show no overt signs of wear. Perfect for people like me with big hands. Reduces shock to the hands and wrists compared to other firmer and smaller grips. A++

Using these for riding full suspension on hard downhill trails my wrists are junk from sports and stuff. I'm a PT so I tried ergonomic grips and mtb ergonomic grips and soft grips and they all still put that strain on my wrist in extension that would bring the wrist pains back. These aren't perfect I still get sore, but the fat grip is squishy and puts me in a more neutral alignment that keeps me from having pain so bad I cant ride. Overall has beat my expectation thus far. Saw some people on review complain it was hard to put on, it was. I just turned bike on side and twisted back and forth like 50 times each while pushing down; its a grippy material so im happy with it.
