The Race Face Chester Grips combine a soft rubber feel with an angled ribbed texture for everyday trail riding. Thicker 20A durometer rubber under the palm helps add comfort on longer rides, while the tapered shape supports a natural hand position.
They’re available in 31 mm and 34 mm diameters to suit different hand sizes and preferences. Colour options vary, with black grips available alongside nine anodised clamp colours.
Why They’re Different
The Chester’s grip pattern and tapered shape are designed to give your hands a secure, comfortable place to settle. The angled ribs help clear water from the contact surface, and the thicker rubber under the palm helps reduce pressure and fatigue.

Who Is It For?
The Chester Grips suit riders looking for a soft, comfortable grip for XC, trail, all-mountain or downhill riding. Choose between the 31 mm and 34 mm diameter based on your hand size and preferred grip feel.
Our Thoughts
The diameter choice is useful if standard grips feel either too slim or too bulky. The softer rubber under the palm and angled rib pattern make the Chester a good option for riders who want a comfortable grip with a bit of extra colour at the bar ends.
