Renthal have developed a special reinforced grip made with increased wear resistance. The grip has all the properties you would expect from a Renthal soft grip but with the life extending properties of Kevlar resin. The base material contains millions of randomly aligned Kevlar resin particles. As the grip is used more particles are exposed, so the number of particles at the grip surface increases.The result is revolutionary, with the softest material Renthal have ever produced but lasts three times longer than their current soft material. Not just for BMX use, these grips are used by many pro downhill riders due to the superb grip and feedback they provide.Weight: 75gLength: 135mm
The handlebar grip is your key contact point for controlling your bike, having a grip suited to your individual needs is hugely important but often overlooked. Renthal developed their Lock-On grip with four unique compounds to give you, the rider the widest choice for any grip. Renthal Kevlar grips feature their most advanced compound to date. Millions of randomly aligned Kevlar particles are suspended in the base material. As the grip is used, more of these particles are exposed, resisting wear whilst retaining a soft and tacky feel.Due to the plastic core of lock-on grips, Renthal also developed an all new Super Comfort compound, this is aimed at riders whose main criteria for a grip is the softest possible feel. Renthal Lock-On grips feature CNC machined aluminium collars which are permanently integrated into the central core. This eliminates any movement between these sections which can develop over time.Length: 130mm
Attached and held in place via a Velcro closure running the length of the material and to ensure it stays securely in place it has anti-slip rubber panel on the back. As this chainstay protector is exceptionally robust, it is slightly less elastic than traditional neoprene chainstay protectors so you would need to measure your frame chainstay accurately in order to ensure you get the correct size to fit your frame.
Kevlar®Guard We have improved the well known Kevlar belt. This protective layer is stronger and safer but at the same time more flexible. This result in the protection level being higher and rolling resistance lower.
The spikes work best on ice when running at minimum pressure, while at maximum pressure the tyres can be ridden on ice-free roads with minimal road noise. Spikes F&Q's Can it also be ridden on a normal road? Without any problem, but if the road is only rarely covered with snow the resulting tyre noise may prove annoying. And it won't slide out in cornering? No. The spikes 'claw' really well into normal asphalt roads and even fast cornering is not a problem. Aren't spikes illegal? Bike tyre spikes are no problem. Only motor vehicles spikes are prohibited in some countries, because they damage the road. Fast E-bikes are however considered motor vehicles. Do the tyres have to be run in? In order to ensure that spikes are permanently fixed, tyres should be run in for about 25 miles on asphalt, while avoiding any fast acceleration or heavy braking. What is the lifespan of the spikes? All Schwalbe spikes have a core made of extremely hard wearing tungsten carbide, so they can cover a few thousand miles. It is normal for the spike edges to round off and for them to become more deeply embedded.
The integrated construction eliminates any movement between the grip section and the collars, which could otherwise develop over time. Millions of randomly aligned Kevlar particles are suspended in the base material. As these Renthal Lock-On Grips are used, more of these particles are exposed, resisting wear whilst retaining a soft and tacky feel.
