Brooks Slender Leather Grips feature vegetable tanned leather and cork tape, and are designed to offer an alternative performance option for the user, while maintaining the standard for sustainability set by the Plump Grips, allowing the user to replace worn parts if necessary.
The design incorporates an aluminium shell around which the bar tape is wrapped in the manner of traditional handlebar tape. The leather is then held in place by aluminium and steel clamps which can be removed in the event that the tape requires replacement.
The tape is made from the same vegetable tanned leather used for Brooks Saddles and natural cork.

Re-establishing an old Brooks tradition

Written by Ryan Graham from Norway 8/2/2011

I replaced some black vinyl rubber grips with these and have no regrets. The leather quality is high, the machined surfaces are very well-finished, and they look even better in person. An uncommon head is used on the fastening screws (which ought to reduce the risk of theft), and Brooks is thoughtful enough to supply the special driver bit required for installation.

The colour is an excellent match with my saddle, and they're comfortable as well. I'm very happy with these, and they significantly improve the appearance of my bike. Nice work!

When are they available?

They look indeed wonderful! Would be even greater to have them in an all black version (with the aluminum caps at the ends "blackened")

Written by Anna Reinbold from UK 3/28/2012

Hi, these look lovely. Would they fit my Velorbis?

A> Yes, likely.  It has to do of course with the size of your handlebar.

I'm waiting for my new Pashley Princess Sovereign to arrive any day. Would these grips fit my new bike? Thanks!

A> Yes!

Got my grips today to put on Brompton. There is clear indication to not tighten the screws with more than 0.75Nm but one of the screws (in the inner clamp) snapped far earlier. Now i am sitting on a pair of grips which are unusuable, cannot remove the threat and cannot find single clamps as a replacement part. Is it possible to get a single clamp as a replacement? Thanks for the quick reply.

Can you produce a pair in Violet?

A> New Colors, including Violet out soon!

Written by Peter Santos from Australia 5/16/2011

can they be shortened to fit twist gear changers?

A> No, but a shorter version will be available soon.

Fantastic Brookes Quality and Aesthetics. Unfortunately these beauties do not fit on the Brompton Bikes with M Bars. These Grips are around 20-30mm too long for use on the Bromptons. Hope that Brookes can produce a shorter version so Brompton owners who are faithful to the quality upgrades offered by Brookes, can use this new product on their bikes. Apart from this issue, they are well worth the price for the quality and heritage of the Brand.

Will the slender leather grips fit my M type Brompton? Are they shipping yet? Any tips on getting the foam grips off the Brompton? Thanks?

A> Unfortunately not.  Getting the foam grips off a Brompton is no easy task.  Use sharp implements.

Written by Joost van de Griek from Netherlands 4/10/2011

Will these combine with bar ends, i.e., can the end caps be removed?

A> No.

Written by Chris Deacon from England 2/11/2011

Hello
I have a Brompton S2L would these fit ?

A> The grip is 13.5cm in length, hope that helps!

I 've been using the 'plump' leather grips for about two years now, and in general I 'm pretty pleased with them.

A negative thing about them is that the outer diameter is a bit too wide for my rather small hands. And they don 't break in. My hands hurt during long rides because of the roughness of the leather.

Are these slender grips smaller in outer diameter? For as far as I can see they are. And I suppose they will be a lot softer, since there is a layer of cork under the leather. When will they be available in Belgium?

A > The Slender Grips have a much smaller diameter than the Plump Grips, please consult the Dealer of Excellence pages of this website to find the Belgian dealer nearest you.

It would be nice to see a half grip version in this slim grip model for use with twist/grip shift options.
