If standard grips leave your hands feeling beaten up, the Loam Grips XL are an easy cockpit upgrade. The 34 mm diameter, soft 25A compound and single-clamp layout give you a more cushioned feel with secure bar hold, while the tread pattern stays confident in wet or sweaty conditions.

The PNW Loam Grips XL are a smart pick if you want a grip that feels noticeably fuller in the hand without getting vague on rough trails. With a 34 mm diameter, 133.5 mm length and a soft 25A rubber feel, they suit riders chasing extra comfort, less hand fatigue and more support on longer descents or chattery local trails.
What stands out here is how the shape and pattern work together. The split tread layout gives you more palm support where you load the grip hardest, while the finer ribs help with traction and control. The single lock ring keeps the grip secure and frees up more usable hand space at the outer end, and the closed-end design is neat for riders who want a clean finish.
For the right rider, these grips hit a very good balance of comfort, grip and value. Real-world ride impressions consistently point to strong vibration damping and a planted feel, especially for larger hands or anyone who finds thinner grips too harsh. The trade-off is the same one that comes with many softer compounds: if you crash often or ride abrasive terrain, expect faster cosmetic wear than a firmer, harder-wearing grip.
Ideal for trail, enduro and e-MTB riders with larger hands, or anyone who wants a thicker grip to reduce hand fatigue on rough rides.
34 mm XL diameter
Adds a fuller, more supportive feel for riders who find regular grips too skinny or fatiguing over longer rides.
Soft 25A rubber feel
Helps take the sting out of trail chatter while still holding shape well enough for precise bar control.
Water-shedding fin layout
Designed to move water away and keep your hands feeling more secure when conditions turn wet or sweaty.
Split tread pattern
Combines finer ribs for traction with a thicker support zone under the palm for a steadier, less harsh feel.
Single lock-on clamp
Keeps the grip firmly in place while leaving more usable grip area at the outer end.
Closed-end construction
Gives a tidy finished look and avoids the separate bar-end-plug setup many riders dislike.
Strong comfort-to-price ratio
A practical upgrade if you want better hand comfort without stepping into premium-priced grip territory.
