Product use
The Volume VLM grips are BMX handlebar grips for freestyle riding: street, park, trails and everyday cruising. They slide onto any standard 7/8" BMX bar. For the cleanest install, wipe the bar with rubbing alcohol, spray a little hairspray inside the grip, slide it on in one push and let it dry for a few hours before you ride.

Why BMX riders use the Volume VLM grips
Riders choose the VLMs because they feel soft and tacky out of the box without being so thick you lose feel of the bars. Street riders like how they soak up hard landings. Barspin riders want flangeless BMX grips that won't catch their hands. Bare-handed riders love the ribs, which makes these some of the best BMX grips for sweaty hands. And at this price, parents get a real upgrade for their kid's bike without paying for a signature grip.

Problems with other grips, and why the VLMs fix them
5 problems you'll run into with other BMX grips
- Hard stock rubber. Cheap grips feel like plastic, cause blisters and get slick the second your hands sweat.
- Flanges in the way. A flange can catch your hand on a barspin, hit your knee on a tailwhip and tear the first time you drop the bike.
- Wrong length. Extra long grips won't fit beside a brake lever, and short grips leave brakeless riders with nowhere to move their hands.
- Slipping and spinning. Thin or worn grips twist on the bar when you pull up for a hop or manual.
- Bulky lock-ons. Lock-on and oversized grips add weight and a hard core that kills the feel freestyle riders need.
5 reasons the Volume VLM grips are better
- Soft Vex Kraton rubber cushions landings and stays tacky, even with sweaty hands.
- Flangeless design keeps your hands and knees clear for barspins, tailwhips and drops.
- 150mm length fits next to a brake lever and still gives brakeless riders room.
- Chevron ribs lock into your palms and help the grip stay put when installed right.
- 28.7mm single-ply build with bar ends included gives comfort and bar feel in one pair, no extra parts to buy.
