SQlab 7OX 2.0 Pro Grips - Black

The new generation of the 7OX grip – the 2.0 Pro sets new standards with improved rubber compound and new grip design to reduce arm pump and increase comfort. All changes to the 7OX 2.0 Pro grip lead to improved ergonomics, better fit, precise grip, and secure feedback in every riding situation.

The 7OX 2.0 Pro is now available in three sizes. A new size L variant has been added to provide optimal control for riders with larger hands. The entire grip has gained 5mm in length compared to the previous model. If the hand grips the handle slightly at an angle, there is more space to benefit from the grip's comfort without feeling a loss of control.

The three sizes differ in diameter to guarantee a tailored fit.

The well-known problem of arm pump is always present when mountain biking. When the forearm muscles are tensed for longer periods, combined with rapidly recurring impacts from braking bumps, root carpets, etc., blood flow in the blood vessels is reduced. This results in the feeling that the forearms are “going numb,” leading to a loss of strength in the hand muscles.

To investigate this loss of strength, SQlab examined the activation of the forearm muscles using electromyography (EMG) measurements (which measure the electrical impulses in the muscle that indicate the activation level of the muscle). Additionally, accelerometers were placed on the handlebars to capture the unevenness in the form of vibrations from the ground, and a grip force measurement was employed.

Based on the results of the study with our MTB handlebars and 7OX grips (with different compounds), a new TPE compound was developed for the 7OX Pro grip for more cushioning and control, further reducing arm pump for all ambitious riders.
