Lizard Skins

Things to know about Lizard Skins

You know who made your bike, your crank set or your bike shorts. But do you have any idea about who made your grips? Or, should you belong to those drop bar enthusiasts, who made your cork tape? No matter its shape, if your handlebar feels uncommonly comfortable, we would like to make a guess as to who made your grips. If your sweaty hands don’t slip, but also don’t stick and if your handlebar also feels nice and soft, the guys of Lizard Skins might be responsible for your comfort.

Get a grip with Lizard Skins

When Lizard Skins was founded in Utah in 1993, the owner set out to develop all kinds of accessoires that made the life of the then young and budding mountain bike community safer and also more comfortable. But ever since the sales of grips made from Durasoft Polymer (DSP) went through the roof, all other products became of lesser interest. Lizard Skin’s lock-on grips and slide-on grips and their handlebar tape is pretty much the best stuff for you to get your hands upon. DSP combines all the advantages that rubber has to offer, but without feeling, well ... rubbery in your hands.

Grips for Road Bikes, MTBs, BMX – and baseball bats

It did not take long for word to spread, so Lizards Skin’s reputation began to build even outside the bike community. These days their products are everywhere, where a good grip is vital. Champs of all kinds of sports enjoy the tactile properties that help them stay at the top, no matter if it’s ice hockey, baseball, cycling or motorcycling they’re trying to excel at. The list of athletes who trust in Lizard Skin’s ability to maintain a good, natural grip is long and top-level. Many of the manufacturers whose products you can find on BMO team up with biking pros mostly. Lizard Skins, however, provides equipment for a wide range of champions, amongst them MLB and NHL players. There are also a number of biking teams, cyclocross racers, mountain bikers and BMX-acrobats, amongst them freestyle whiz Danny Macaskill is probably the biggest name.

Lizard Skins even masters the difficult mix of speed, water and a good grip with their grips for jet skis. Should you be more on the couch potato side of life, you can stick some Lizard skin grip pads on your gaming console or mouse.

If you want perfect control over your steed in any conditions, whether it’s wet, cold, hot or dry, and keep your hands free from blisters, get some Lizard Skins grips between you and the metal.
