The PNW Loam Lock-on grips are designed to keep your hands feeling fresh! While they may not keep your hands warm during seasonal changes, they are packed with features to provide optimal grip and support. PNW carefully crafted these grips with an ultra tacky compound and an ergonomic pattern, specifically designed to alleviate fatigue caused by trail chatter and long hours in the saddle.
The Loam Grip features two distinct patterns that serve an important ergonomic function. Thin strips running horizontally across the surface enhance traction and provide a supple feel, while the thicker mountain pattern offers support for the palm of your hand. Reinforcing this outer zone with a robust design not only prevents compound deterioration but also ensures superior vibration absorption. Additionally, the enhanced structure helps support the additional weight exerted on this area while riding.
Purpose built for enduro and trail riders, PNW carefully selected a compound for the Loam Grip that strikes the perfect balance. The chosen blend, aptly named the "happy camper", combines softness to absorb vibrations with firmness to maintain its shape under pressure. This blend offers the ideal tactile experience, avoiding the drawbacks of wearing too quickly or lacking tactile benefits associated with harder compounds.
The Loam Grips Recycled Edition reduces reliance on virgin materials by incorporating 80% recycled ocean plastic in the grip core and 30% repurposed factory-floor scraps in the rubber compound. Despite using nearly 50% fewer new materials, they offer the same feel and durability as the originals. PNW not calling this a planet-saving move, but a small step forward in making our products more sustainable.
