Push-On Feel with the Security of a Lock-On Grip.
The Burgtec Josh Bryceland Bartender Pro Grips combine a comfortable 30A rubber compound with a tapered internal core designed to provide more cushioning beneath your outer fingers.
Developed with Josh Bryceland, they suit trail, enduro and downhill riders who want a secure lock-on grip without the firm feel normally associated with a full-length plastic sleeve.
Tapered Hybrid Core
A large section of the internal core is removed beneath the three outer fingers, allowing the rubber to sit closer to the handlebar and flex more freely through rough terrain.
This provides some of the cushioning associated with a push-on grip while retaining the dependable installation of a single inner locking collar.
Standard 30A Compound
The 30A rubber compound provides a good balance of traction, comfort and durability. It is firmer and generally longer wearing than Burgtec’s 18A Super Soft version, making it the practical choice for regular riding.
Choose the separate Super Soft model if maximum tackiness and cushioning matter more to you than wear life.
Josh Bryceland Grip Pattern
Horizontal ridges create a consistent surface beneath the palm, while a lower-profile pattern underneath supports grip through the fingers. The result is dependable traction in wet or dry conditions, whether you ride with gloves or without them.
A low-profile inner flange provides a useful hand-position reference without taking up unnecessary room beside the brake lever and controls.

Who Are These Grips For?
These grips suit mountain bikers who want a relatively slim 31mm diameter with more cushioning than a conventional lock-on grip. The 30A compound is well suited to regular trail, enduro and downhill use where durability still matters.
Our Thoughts
The standard Bartender Pro is the version we would recommend to most riders. It provides a comfortable, predictable feel and should last longer than the softer 18A Super Soft option.
The tapered core is the feature that makes it different from a basic lock-on grip. Removing the rigid sleeve beneath the outer fingers allows the rubber to move more naturally against the handlebar, which can make a noticeable difference on long, rough descents.
If you tend to wear through soft grips quickly, choose this 30A version. If you prioritise the softest and tackiest possible feel, look at the separately listed Bartender Pro Super Soft instead.
