Spank Spike Grips seek to alleviate one of the most common afflictions mountain bikers face, arm pump. Engineered to reduce impulse shock and absorb vibration, the Spank Spike grips are an item that our testers were excited to test out. Available in two sizes to suit the size of your hand, the Spike grips pack plenty of features that we were excited to put to the test.
Spank offers the Spike Grip in 2 diameters, a low profile 30mm and for those with larger mitts, a 33mm. In this review, we tested the 33mm diameter grips. Spank makes the Spike grips extra-long at 145mm. One difference in the two grips however is that the 33mm option has three external ribs for increased traction. The grips use a single lock ring available in four different colored lock rings, grey, red, blue and green and come with a durable, reinforced bar end cap for increased durability.
