The PNW Loam Grips XL are built for mountain riders who want a larger 34 mm grip diameter and a more cushioned feel at the bar. At 133.5 mm long with a single lock ring design, they give you a secure fit on standard 22.2 mm flat-bar grip sections while keeping the outer end closed and tidy.
What stands out on trail is the balance of comfort and control. The 25A Happy Camper compound is tuned to absorb vibration without going overly mushy, while the grip’s mixed surface layout gives each part of your hand something useful to press into. The water-shedding fins under the fingers help soften chatter and move moisture away, and the thicker upper pattern adds support under the palm for longer descents and rougher terrain.
For riders shopping by feel, these are a strong pick if thinner grips leave your hands working too hard. The XL size suits riders chasing more hand support, and the tapered inner section, small inboard flange and single-clamp layout help keep the cockpit feeling neat and controlled. The trade-off with a soft-performance grip like this is that it prioritises feel and comfort over maximum crash-proof longevity.
Ideal for trail, enduro and e-MTB riders who prefer a thicker grip with better vibration damping and a confident hold in mixed conditions.
XL 34 mm diameter
A larger grip size that gives more hand support and can help reduce fatigue if standard-diameter grips feel too thin.
25A Happy Camper compound
Soft enough to take the sting out of trail chatter, but firm enough to hold its shape when you are really loading the bars.
Water-shedding fins
Flexible fins under the hand help absorb vibration and keep traction more consistent when the weather turns wet.
Patterned palm and finger zones
Horizontal traction areas and a thicker upper pattern give you a more secure feel where your fingers and palm need different support.
Single lock ring system
The inboard clamp keeps the grip locked down securely while leaving the outer section free of a second clamp.
Closed-end construction
A tidy bar-end finish that helps protect the end of the grip and avoids the separate plug setup used on open-ended designs.
Standard MTB flat-bar fit
Designed to fit almost all mountain and flat handlebars with a standard 22.2 mm grip section, including bars with 31.8 mm or 35 mm centre clamp sizes.
