City Grips Sew-on Leather Grips

Color: Dark Brown
Honey
Dark Brown
Black
Thread: White

Experience both luxury and performance on your handlebars with old-fashioned vegetable-tanned leather grips. Durable in the elements, warm to the touch, and grippier when wet, our natural leather is a performance material with a beautiful look. 

Like our other easy to sew on products, the City Grips come as a kit that you stitch on yourself with pre-punched stitching holes, needle, thread, and instructions. 

The natural oils in your hands burnish  our high-quality American leather into a glossy patina that will last you a lifetime. You get to keep the patina you've earned: you can transfer it from bike to bike, and over the years it will only get more beautiful with use and time.

Fits standard flat handlebars with a 0.875" (7/8") diameter (approximately 22mm).

Exactly what I wanted

I love these grips. Sewing them on was really fun and simple. Having something handsewn has made me feel a lot more connected to my bike, which I wasn't necessarily expecting! When I ordered them, I was a bit worried that it wouldn't provide enough cushion or would be too thin. But that wasn't the case at all. They feel great and have good grip. After a few months with them, I like them so much that I bought another pair to go on a second bike. Highly recommend!
