Available Now: Echo Lock-On Grips in New Colors
Wolf Tooth is stoked to announce that their Echo Lock-On Grips are available in various colors. This expands their current line of Echo Lock-On Grips and their grips product category as a whole.
Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On Grips are made for all-mountain riding, from XC to downhill. A soft, tacky rubber grip is secured to the handlebar with an anodized aluminum collar. The alternating diagonal pattern of the grip is designed to keep the rider’s hand in place and provide grip with or without gloves in all conditions. These grips are compatible with all standard 22mm mountain bike handlebars, including carbon and aluminum. Nine new colors are available today alongside the black grips that were first shared in September 2022.
Echo Lock-On Grips use durometer 20A rubber, which was specifically selected for these grips after extensive prototype testing. The Durometer Shore Hardness Scale measures the softness and elasticity of rubber. Three types of rubber were tested. The softest of the three was ultimately chosen because it provides excellent vibration damping and is easily compressed – both are vital qualities for a mountain bike grip. The durometer 20A rubber can absorb vibrations from rocky trails, is durable for many seasons of riding, and is comfortable on the hands for long days on the bike.
Each grip has an alternating diagonal pattern that is molded into the rubber. This design was developed to keep the rider’s hands in place. The center of the grip features stripes in one direction, while the inner and outer ends feature alternating stripes to prevent hands from moving away from the center of the grip. Echo Lock-On Grips also say WOLF on the left side and TOOTH on the right as the most visually striking feature.
Echo Lock-On Grips are 132mm long with a 32mm installed diameter. The 22mm internal diameter is compatible with any standard mountain bike handlebar, whether carbon or aluminum. The ends of the grips are open. The purchase includes a set of Wolf Tooth plastic bar end plugs. The open ends are also compatible with Wolf Tooth Anodized Bar End Plugs and Wolf Tooth EnCase System multi-tools.
Securing the grips to the handlebar is an anodized aluminum collar that was machined at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota. It is tightened/loosened with a 3mm hex wrench. These collars are available in eight colors that match other Wolf Tooth anodized aluminum components and accessories, including headsets, seatpost clamps, ReMote dropper levers, bottle cage bolts, Waveform Aluminum Pedals, and more. The color of the grip collar also matches the same eight colors of the Anodized Bar End Plugs.
These grips expand the existing Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On Grips and the grips product category as a whole. The nine new colors available today are: green, purple, teal, pink, gray, yellow, orange, blue, and red. Each is paired with a black anodized collar. The first Echo Lock-On Grips were announced in September 2022. These are black grips that are available with eight different anodized collar colors. Wolf Tooth released silicone foam grips in 2019 in four sizes, two shapes, and 10 colors. These include Fat Paw Grips, Karv Cam Grips, Razer Grips, and Mega Fat Paw Grips, which are the thickest foam grips on the market for superior vibration damping and comfort. Wolf Tooth also has Supple Bar Tape and Supple Lite Bar Tape for bikes with drop bars.
