Chunky Bicycle Grips

The ESI Grips Chunky offers riders a thicker, more cushioned grip profile made from silicone — a material that naturally absorbs trail vibration and road chatter. Designed for mountain biking and gravel riding, these grips suit Indian terrain where rough road surfaces, long climbs, and sweat-heavy conditions demand reliable hand contact over hours in the saddle.

Our Take

Anyone who has ridden the corrugated descents of Coorg or the rocky jeep tracks around Lonavala knows how quickly your hands fatigue. The ESI Chunky's extra-thick silicone construction spreads grip pressure more evenly across the palm, reducing that deep ache that builds after 50 km of mixed terrain. The silicone compound stays tacky even when wet — a real advantage during monsoon rides or sweat-soaked climbs in 35°C+ Pune heat. Simple, effective, and well worth carrying in any handlebar upgrade conversation.

Sizing for Indian Riders

ESI Chunky grips come in a standard length that fits most flat and riser handlebars. Riders with wider or larger hands — common among taller Indian riders — will appreciate the Chunky's additional diameter over standard thin grips. If you run bar-end accessories or brake lever collars, check your available bar space before fitting. The grips slide on without adhesive; isopropyl alcohol aids installation.

Compatibility Notes

These grips are designed for standard 22.2 mm mountain bike and gravel handlebars. They are lock-on free — installation relies on silicone friction, so no clamps are needed. Compatible with flat bars, riser bars, and most gravel drop flare bars near the clamp area. Not suitable for drop road handlebars. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid petroleum-based solvents which degrade silicone.

Pairs Well With

Complete your cockpit upgrade with a quality flat or riser handlebar for optimal fit, a reliable set of hydraulic or mechanical brake levers for confident control on steep descents, bar tape or bar plugs for a finished look, and a cycling computer mount if you like tracking your rides through the Western Ghats or Ooty climbs.
