Mountain, gravel and flat bar riders who want light, cushioned grips that reduce hand fatigue.
The ESI Chunky is ESI's most popular model. It is made from 100% silicone in the USA, with a 32 mm installed diameter that fills the hand nicely without feeling bulky.
Silicone conforms to your palms and absorbs shock, so it takes the sting out of rough trails, gravel and chattery roads. The whole pair weighs only around 60 g, with bar plugs included.
The Chunky slides onto standard 22 mm bars and is a favourite with grip shift users too. ESI notes that its black is a dark charcoal grey.

Fitting with alcohol
ESI recommends fitting and removing with rubbing alcohol. Insert the bar plugs first to protect the ends, spray a little alcohol inside, and slide them on. Give them some time to dry before riding and they will stay put.
