FEATURES of the PNW Loam Grip XL The shape and location of the grip's "fins" helps absorb vibration while allowing water to wick away on rainy day rides. A blend that’s soft enough to absorb vibration, yet firm enough to keep its shape under pressure, strikes a balance between comfort and durability. A pattern running horizontally across the grip's surface enhances traction while the ticker mountain pattern helps support the pad of your hand.
