In the BROOKS tradition, our grips are made of natural leather, the same long wearing leather used for our saddle tops. BROOKS only buys the central part of the hide, the back of the cow, which is thicker and stronger. For our saddles we cut one leather top at a time, taking great care both in guaranteeing a homogeneous quality and in minimizing the residue. Nevertheless a lot of leather remains unused, and it is this part which is now employed in the manufacturing of our grips.

The shortening of a BROOKS Leather Grip is a rather simple 5 step operation:

1 – unscrew the 3 nipples from the inner aluminium ring

2 – remove the inner ring and enough leather washers to shorten the grip to the desired length

3 – cut the spokes with pliers

4 – gently file the spoke’s rough edges

5 – reassemble the inner aluminium ring with its 3 nipples

The BROOKS leather grips fit all standard handlebars with a 22.2 mm diameter. They are available in 4 colours: black, brown, aged (dark tan) and honey.

BROOKS leather grips shape to your hands and allow them to breathe while riding.
