The Ciclovation Trail Silcolite MTB Grip ALP embodies the excellence of ultra-lightweight control for cross-country and trail MTB. Adopted by professional teams at the world's greatest races such as the Andalucía Bike Race and the Swiss Epic 2025, these grips combine shock-absorbing Silcolite foam technology with Vortex aluminum bar end plugs, creating a precision duo designed for long-duration performance.

Technical Overview

The Silcolite series stands out for its multi-layer multi-density foam that absorbs shocks and vibrations without ever sacrificing direct trail feel. This patented construction achieves a featherweight of 65 g per pair while maintaining exceptional grip in both dry and wet conditions. The ergonomic profile of 130 mm and calibrated thickness of 6 mm provide an optimal grip diameter to reduce muscle fatigue during demanding rides. Compatible with all standard MTB handlebars of Ø 22.2 mm, installation is quick thanks to the forged aluminum Lock-In plug system.

Technical Highlights

• Absorbing Silcolite foam: multi-layer multi-density technology that effectively filters terrain vibrations while maintaining precise transmission of steering feedback.
• Featherweight 65 g: designed to be "impossibly light", these grips shed weight without compromising durability or comfort — a decisive advantage in XC competition.
• All-weather grip: silicone surface formulated to guarantee secure hold in dry, wet or muddy conditions, eliminating the risk of slipping on technical descents.
• Vortex Lock-In system: aluminum plugs with integrated expansion, ensuring reliable locking, shock-resistant and preventing any slippage during intensive use.
• Fatigue reduction: superior vibration absorption preserves forearms and hands on long, rough courses, as demonstrated during the 68 km marathon stages of the Andalucía Bike Race.

Riders highlighted the exceptional comfort and remarkable durability of the Silcolite under the harshest conditions. This real-world validation confirms that these grips are designed to withstand the demands of the highest level of MTB competition.
