Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On Grips now available in colors

  • Ron 

After a successful debut in black in Fall 2022, Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On Grips are now available in nine new colors. Made for any type of riding from XC to downhill, the Echo grips feature a soft, tacky rubber grip that is secured to the handlebar with an anodized aluminum collar. The alternating diagonal pattern of the grip is designed to keep the rider’s hand in place and provide grip with or without gloves in all conditions. These grips are compatible with all standard 22mm mountain bike handlebars, including carbon and aluminum.

Nine new colors are available today.

Wolf Tooth Echo Lonck-On Grips

Echo Lock-On Grips use durometer 20A rubber, which was specifically selected for these grips after extensive prototype testing. The Durometer Shore Hardness Scale measures softness and elasticity of rubber. Three types of rubber were tested and the softest of the three was ultimately chosen because it provides excellent vibration damping and is easily compressed – both are vital qualities for a mountain bike grip. The durometer 20A rubber is able to absorb vibrations from rocky trails, durable for many seasons of riding, and comfortable on the hands for long days on the bike.

Each grip has an alternating diagonal pattern that is molded into the rubber. This design was developed to keep the rider’s hands in place. The center of the grip features stripes in one direction, while the inner and outer ends feature alternating stripes to prevent hands from moving away from the center of the grip. Echo Lock-On Grips also say WOLF on the left side
and TOOTH on the right as the most visually striking feature.

Echo Lock-On Grips are 132mm long with a 32mm installed diameter. The 22mm internal diameter is compatible with any standard mountain bike handlebar, whether carbon or aluminum. The ends of the grips are open. Included in the purchase is a set of Wolf Tooth plastic bar end plugs. The open ends are also compatible with Wolf Tooth Anodized Bar End Plugs and Wolf Tooth EnCase System multi-tools.

Securing the grips to the handlebar is an anodized aluminum collar that was machined at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota. It is tightened/loosened with a 3mm hex wrench. These collars are available in eight colors that match other Wolf Tooth anodized aluminum components and accessories, including headsets, seatpost clamps, ReMote dropper levers, bottle cage bolts, Waveform Aluminum Pedals, and more. The color of the grip collar also matches the same eight colors of the Anodized Bar End Plugs.

These grips expand the existing Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On Grips and the grips product category as a whole. The nine new colors available today are: green, purple, teal, pink, gray, yellow, orange, blue, and red. Each is paired with a black anodized collar. The first Echo Lock-On Grips were announced in September 2022. These are black grips that are available with eight different anodized collar colors.

Wolf Tooth released silicone foam grips in 2019 in four sizes, two shapes, and 10 colors. These include Fat Paw Grips, Karv Cam Grips, Razer Grips, and Mega Fat Paw Grips, which are the thickest foam grips on the market for superior vibration damping and comfort. Wolf Tooth also has Supple Bar Tape and Supple Lite Bar Tape for bikes with drop bars.

Wolf Tooth Echo Lock-On Grips are available today on WolfToothComponents.com for $29.95 USD and with any bike shop that stocks Wolf Tooth.
