Description
The ESI Grips XXL 8.25" Extra Long Bicycle Grips are designed for riders who need more hand coverage and all-day comfort on extended rides. Cut from ESI's signature silicone compound, these grips absorb trail buzz and road chatter without adding bulk — a welcome advantage on rough tarmac and broken surfaces that Indian riders encounter daily, from Pune's city outskirts to the rocky descents around Coorg and Ooty.
Our Take
If you've ever finished a long ride with numb palms or pressure hot spots, these extra-long grips address that directly. The additional length gives bigger hands or riders who prefer a wide grip stance genuine room to move, which matters on multi-hour climbs through the Western Ghats or when navigating the unpredictable road surfaces around Hyderabad and Chennai. Silicone naturally stays tacky even when sweat-soaked, making these a smart pick for India's humid riding season — no tape-wrap required, no slipping mid-descent.
Sizing for Indian Riders
At 8.25 inches, these grips suit riders with medium to large hand sizes. ESI sizes are based on length rather than circumference, so the XXL designation refers to grip length, not thickness. If you currently ride standard-length grips and feel cramped, these offer meaningful extra coverage. Riders with smaller hands may find the length excessive — in that case, ESI's shorter options are worth considering.
Compatibility Notes
These grips fit standard 22.2 mm mountain bike and flat handlebars. They are lock-on free — installation uses rubbing alcohol or hairspray as a slip agent, then a secure bond forms once dry. Not compatible with drop bars or aero bars. Compatible with bar-ends when positioned correctly. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid solvent-based cleaners that can degrade silicone.
Pairs Well With
Complete your cockpit setup with a matching flat or riser handlebar, ergonomic bar ends for longer climbs, a quality stem with appropriate rise, and padded cycling gloves for added protection on rough Indian roads. Each of these categories is available at Cobbled Climbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the ESI Grips XXL 8.25" Extra Long Grips best used for?
These grips are ideal for trail riding, endurance cycling, and daily commuting where all-day hand comfort matters. The extra length suits riders who like to shift hand positions on long rides — particularly useful on extended climbs like those in the Western Ghats or on rough road surfaces common across Pune, Delhi, and Hyderabad where vibration fatigue builds over time.
What size hands suit the ESI Grips XXL, and how do I know if they'll fit my bars?
The XXL refers to grip length — 8.25 inches — rather than circumference. They suit riders with medium to large hands who feel cramped on standard-length grips. For bar compatibility, your handlebar must have a 22.2 mm diameter flat or riser section. Most mountain bikes and hybrid bikes sold in India meet this standard. Check your bar spec before ordering.
Will silicone grips hold up in India's monsoon season and 35°C+ heat?
Yes — silicone is one of the best materials for hot, humid Indian conditions. Unlike foam grips that soak up sweat or rubber that can harden in heat, ESI's silicone compound stays tacky and stable across temperature extremes. During the monsoon, the natural grip of silicone actually improves when wet, giving you confident control even on slick descents around Lonavala or Khandala.
How do ESI Grips XXL compare to standard rubber or foam handlebar grips?
Compared to standard rubber grips, ESI silicone grips are typically lighter, require no lock-on clamps, and maintain a consistent tacky feel regardless of moisture. Foam grips offer softness but compress over time and absorb sweat. ESI's silicone sits between the two — firmer than foam, more vibration-absorbing than hard rubber — and the extra length of the XXL gives a wider usable hand area than most alternatives.
Are ESI Grips XXL worth Rs. 2,700 in India, and is there a warranty?
At Rs. 2,700, these are a mid-range investment for a component that directly affects ride comfort and control. Silicone grips typically outlast foam alternatives and don't require replacement collars or clamps, reducing long-term costs. ESI products are covered by a manufacturer's warranty against defects — contact Cobbled Climbs for warranty claims. Free delivery applies on this order as it exceeds Rs. 2,500.
