The Cosmic Cactus Grips are 31.5mm in diameter, which we found was a good balance between chunkiness and comfort. After lots of ride testing we decided on a 25A medium compound for the grip, which strikes a good balance between comfort and durability.
A plastic bumper was integrated on the outside of the grip to protect against damage from small crashes. There is nothing worse than wrecking a fresh set of grips on a small tip over, so we wanted to address that.
The unique pattern combines elements of a ribbed grip with a waffle pattern to create a comfortable grip that still offers feedback and control. We also experimented with the plastic inner core, adding and subtracting the amount of glass fibre in the Polypropylene to adjust the amount of flex in the grip. The grip has a small amount of intentional flex along its length, creating a little bit of float which helps to dull out harsh vibrations while still maintaining a feeling of control.
