Volume VLM Grips
Best durable ribbed grips for active freestyle riders.
These grips prioritize a direct, tactile connection to the bars without the bulk of thicker alternatives. The soft rubber compound and chevron ribbing offer reliable traction for long sessions, though the flangeless profile means you sacrifice a bit of hand-stopping security for a cleaner, streamlined look.
