Race Face Love Handle grips


THE LOVE HANDLES are bulged in the middle (they increase in girth from 28 to 30mm) in a bid to offer a more natural fit. They’re made from a tacky silicone compound with a dual-pattern design.

The ribbed section is designed to offer some cushioning and also help funnel away water, while the knurled part adds extra grip where it’s most needed. These aren’t the most forgiving grips on super-rough tracks, but on less beaten-up trails the thin, feedback rich feel is great. We also like the way the grip partially covers both lock-on collars.

Price 30$

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.
