Your hands are your direct connection with the terrain. Every vibration, every impact, passes through your grips before it reaches your body. Carboxtrem's Race Day Grips use Carbon DLS technology to absorb up to 80% more vibration than traditional grips, while weighing less than 24 grams each.
The Problem with Traditional Grips
If you ride MTB, gravel or any off-road discipline, you know the fatigue that builds up in your hands after hours of riding. Traditional silicone or rubber grips have a fundamental problem: they absorb very little impact.
• Numb hands (carpal tunnel syndrome in severe cases)
• Premature muscle fatigue in the forearms
• Loss of grip strength in the second half of the ride
• Less precise bike control
• Chronic wrist pain after prolonged use
Why do conventional grips fail?
Traditional Grips vs Race Day Grips
❌ Traditional Grips
✗ Solid, uniform material
✗ Limited absorption (10-15%)
✗ Degraded by sweat and UV
✗ Weight: 50-80g per pair
✗ Service life: 6-12 months
✗ Feel that changes with use
✓ Race Day Grips
✓ 3D Voronoi structure
✓ 80% greater absorption
✓ Resistant to sweat and UV
✓ Weight: ~80g per pair
✓ Lifetime warranty
✓ Consistent feel, always
The Science Behind Race Day Grips
Race Day Grips aren't simply "3D grips". They're the result of applying the world's most advanced additive manufacturing technology to the specific problem of vibration absorption in cycling.
Adaptive Cellular Structure
The Voronoi cells act like thousands of small independent shock absorbers. Each cell absorbs and dissipates energy individually.
Progressive Absorption
Unlike solid materials, the 3D structure absorbs progressively: soft for small vibrations, firmer for hard impacts.
Variable Density
We can vary the density of the lattice in different areas of the grip: denser where you need grip, less dense where you want absorption.
Instant Recovery
EPU 41 resin has exceptional elastic recovery. The grip returns to its original shape milliseconds after each impact.

Which Disciplines Are They Ideal For?
MTB XC / Trail
Long rides where accumulated fatigue is the enemy. The absorption keeps you fresh for more kilometres.
Enduro / DH
Technical descents where control is vital. Less fatigue = better grip = greater precision.
Gravel
Rough tracks for hours on end. The combination of light weight and absorption is perfect.
"It's surprising how light they are without losing that sturdy feel. A before and after for my bike rides. Highly recommended."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Race Day Grips weigh?
Each grip weighs less than 24 grams. The complete pair (with clamps) comes to around 80 grams, making them among the lightest on the market.
Are they compatible with all handlebars?
Yes, they're compatible with handlebars with a 22.2mm inner diameter, which is the standard for MTB, gravel and flat-bar bikes.
Do they need special maintenance?
No. EPU 41 resin is resistant to water, sweat, UV rays and wear. Simply clean them with water and mild soap when needed.
Can they be used with gloves?
Absolutely. They work perfectly both with and without gloves. The Voronoi structure provides excellent grip in both cases.
