Most riders are familiar with RevGrips fantastic RG5 ergonomic grips which have quickly become their best-selling options. They’ve now expanded their line of ergonomic grips to offer even more size options!
Their new RG4, RG6, and RG7 feature the same ergonomic design as the RG5 with the only difference being diameter.
These features, paired with their patented suspension grip technology, combat hand fatigue and allow riders of all disciplines to ride with more control.
Our Impressions of the RG5 => The RevGrips design offers outstanding energy absorption characteristics by providing a subtle grip rotation that alleviates hand and wrist problems. It takes the edge off of impacts, hits, and chatter, preventing unwanted blowbacks from propagating back to the rider. The ergonomic RG5 grip with its curved raised center section, tacky rubber compound, and dual nobby pattern take their already excellent shock-absorbing system to the next level. The top section’s curved shape cradles and holds the palm of your hand for improved comfort and relaxation, allowing an easy-to-hold body without having to overgrip. The bottom section’s soft and pliable ribs increase finger dexterity and traction and offer the ability to pry and lever off the bars for precise control and some subtle lifting power.
RG4
The new RG4 is their smallest option and is perfect for riders with smaller hands or those that prefer a minimal feel. With contour measurements of 32mm at the highest point and 31.5mm at the lowest point of the ergonomic shape, the RG4 packs all the benefits of their suspension system into their slimmest ergonomic grip option.
RG5
The RG5 is their original ergonomic suspension grip and has quickly become their most popular design. The subtle, tapered shape and bottom side traction ribs have been chosen by riders all over the world to combat arm pump and hand fatigue. Simply put, the RG5 is perfect for most riders looking to make the move from a standard grip to one that combines trail damping suspension with ergonomic comfort.
RG6
Think of the RG6 as a large grip that picks up where the RG left off. It has a slightly larger diameter of 34mm x 33.5mm at the highest and lowest points of the grip. If you’ve tried the RG5 but needed just a little more to grab ahold of, the RG6 is the grip for you.
RG7
The RG7 is their XL-sized grip and completes their ergonomic lineup. This has been their most-requested grip size since they launched the RG5. It’s perfect for larger riders, larger bikes, or those who prefer a larger hand-to-grip contact point. With a design that measures 35mm at the highest point and 34.5mm at the lowest, the RG7 is their chunkiest option aimed at putting an end-to-arm pump and hand fatigue.
