Ritchey Comp Truegrip X

These are slip-on grips, so they require a bit of effort to slide onto your handlebars. Using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or compressed air can make the installation process much smoother.

No, these grips feature a closed-end construction, meaning they are designed to cover the ends of your handlebars completely. They are not compatible with external bar-end plugs or mirrors.

The 30mm diameter is on the slimmer side, which is ideal if you prefer a more direct, tactile connection to your handlebars. If you have larger hands or prefer a plush, oversized feel, you might find these a bit too thin.

Yes, Kraton is a synthetic rubber known for its durability and weather resistance. The single-density construction is designed to withstand regular trail use while maintaining its grip texture over time.

Because they are a low-profile, single-density grip, they prioritize trail feedback and control over maximum vibration damping. If you are looking for significant shock absorption, you may want to consider a thicker or dual-density option.
