Best sustainable upgrade for commuters seeking personalized comfort and classic style.
These grips turn repurposed saddle scraps into a tactile, customizable upgrade for your cockpit. The modular spoke design lets you dial in the exact length you need, though you’ll have to trade the weight of modern synthetic foam for the timeless, hard-wearing feel of vegetable-tanned leather.
