Optimal combination of support surface and freedom of movement MTB Comfort / Tour & Travel VSF certified - Best ergonomics "The shape and size concept of SQlab offers an outstanding selection of different grips for every application. The ergonomic shape effectively supports the hands, the unusual grip edge provides "grip" and more secure. All models are available in three sizes, which differ in diameter, length and shape." VSF The perfect gripsize The personal grip size is important. Grip size is the measurement from the tip of the middle finger to the crook of the thumb. This is because the fingers grasp the grip precisely by this measurement. In the new SQlab grip series, sizes differ in range, length (only the 702,710) and shape. Sizes & Weights Modell Size Length (total in mm) Range (measured at 1/3 of the total length) Weight (in g) SQlab 702 S 139,1 108,0 215 SQlab 702 M 143,6 110,8 225 SQlab 702 L 145,8 123,7 255 SQlab 710 S 136,8 102,6 165 SQlab 710 M 139,1 106,0 180 SQlab 710 L 145,0 115,2 205 * The grip circumferences is measured in the first third. This corresponds to the position of the middle finger. Hand edge Grips 702 and 710 are higher on the inside than on the outside, which matches the natural position of the hand. This provides excellent relief to the ulnar nerve and, above all, the carpal tunnel pass with the median nerve. In addition, the outer edge of the hand is often insensitive, as karate fighters often demonstrate impressively. Raised The raised grip end picks up the side of the hand and supports the hand. As a result, pressure is distributed across a large area. + surface + comfort + grip security round grip The round grip sounds comfortable, but gives only a small contact surface. grip with wings A grip with wings reduces pressure yet security is limited. flattened ellipse The flattened ellipse enlarges surface significantly. SQlab grip concept Flattend at the top and drawn forward and back for pressure relief and comfort. Surface is optimized for support and fingers can encompass the grip. Physics: pressure = force/area low contact area = high pressure Relief through 710 Relief of the carpaltunnel pressure The unloading wing must be placed as far outside as possible to keep the carpal tunnel exit largely free and reduce the pressure. Already easy, but constantly recurring pressure, over a long period of time, can lead to problems such as a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Relief of the ulnarnerve pressure The measurements show that the maximum pressure usually occurs on the outside of the palm of the hand. At this point the ulnar nerve, which supplies the two little fingers, disappears. Numbness feelings Ring finger, little Finger The cause is too high pressure on the outside. Here runs the ulnar nerve. Index finger, middle finger, thumb 1. cause is a lateral, overstreched wrist, or a kink. This is usually caused by a too straight handlebar, with too little bending to the rear. 2. cause is too high pressure on the carpal tunnel exit, often caused by relieving wings, which relieve the ulnar nerve, but under unfavorable circumstances load the median nerve. Secure grip Secure grip comes first. Security comes before comfort. Thanks to our size system, the external wing and the Ergobar, you can always fully grasp the grip. The non-slip surface structure and the premium material are pleasant to grab and simultaneously provide a secure hold. The relief wing is at the outer edge on the 702 and 710, making it easy to provide support and a secure grip. You will appreciate this interface during your complete riding experience but will become even more evident the next time you need to brake hard.

The preferred area of use is a comfort-oriented mountain bike or a sporty trekking bike. Due to the perfect fit, the bicycle grips cut a good figure in both areas. The scope of delivery includes a set of grips. This relief wing, which is located at the very edge and deeply extends downwards, frees up space for securely grasping the grip body in all situations. The raised grip end picks up the side of the hand and supports the hand. The inside’s level is higher and thus secures the natural position of the hand. Hence it specifically relieves the ulnar nerve, the median nerve and the carpal tunnel pass. The Ergobar offers a secure grip for the fingers and optimum support on the front and bottom with a wave-like elevation. The clamp moved from the outside to the inside in the course of the product development. This increases the shock absorption and comfort on the hand’s outer side. Thus, the SQlab grip series is no longer compatible with twist grips. Various rubber compounds ensure a perfect grip level and high comfort. We only use the best possible materials. This guarantees you a long service life and no sticking of the grip rubber. The personal grip size is what matters. With the 710 grip, the sizes differ in diameter, length and shape.
