A Slim, Simple Lock-On Grip with Plenty of Rubber.

The Burgtec Bartender Grips are made for mountain bikers who prefer a slim grip with a direct connection to the handlebar. Their 30mm diameter works particularly well for riders with smaller hands or anyone who finds thicker grips uncomfortable.

An ultra-thin tapered core leaves more room for rubber between your hands and the handlebar, while a single 7075 aluminium collar holds each grip securely in place.

Slim 30mm Diameter

At 30mm in diameter, the Bartender has a noticeably slimmer feel than many modern mountain bike grips. This makes it easier to wrap your fingers around the handlebar and can provide more precise control through technical terrain.

Grip diameter is a personal choice. Riders with larger hands or those looking for more cushioning may prefer one of Burgtec’s thicker Bartender Pro grips instead.

More Rubber over the Core

The tapered internal core is kept as thin as possible, allowing Burgtec to use more rubber without making the finished grip unnecessarily thick.

This provides some cushioning through rough terrain while maintaining the direct feel riders expect from a slim grip. The tacky rubber surface also provides dependable contact with riding gloves.

Single Lock-On Collar

A single inner collar clamps each grip to the handlebar. The collar is made from 7075 aluminium and secured with a stainless-steel bolt.

The single-clamp design keeps the outer end free from a second metal collar, providing a comfortable surface across the full width of the grip.

Who Are These Grips For?

The Bartender grips suit trail, enduro and downhill riders who prefer a slim, uncomplicated grip. They are particularly worth considering if you have smaller hands or want a more direct feel through the handlebar.

If hand cushioning is your main priority, the thicker Bartender Pro or Bartender Pro Super Soft may be a better choice.

Our Thoughts

The original Bartender remains a good option for riders who do not want an oversized grip. The 30mm diameter feels direct, while the thin core leaves enough room for rubber to take the edge off smaller impacts and trail vibration.

The decision mainly comes down to grip thickness. Choose this model for its slimmer profile and simple design. Move to the Bartender Pro range if you want a little more diameter, a more shaped pattern or a softer compound.
