Your connection to the bike starts with your hands, so it’s essential to equip your cockpit with the right bike grips and bar tapes. Whether you're tearing down a trail, gliding through city streets, or logging kilometres on smooth tarmac, these small but crucial components can make a big difference in your riding experience.

At BikesOnline, we offer a wide selection of grips and tapes designed to enhance your comfort, control, and stability, tailored for everything from hardtail bikes and performance road bikes to e-commuters and gravel grinders.

Grips: The Key to Confidence and Handling

Grips are a core part of any flat handlebar setup, typically found on MTB bikes, commuter bikes, and e-bikes. A good pair can absorb trail chatter, reduce hand fatigue, and give you the sure-handed confidence you need on technical descents or bumpy commutes.

Key Features:

• Ergonomic shapes and textured patterns for better control and palm support.
• Materials like rubber, foam, or silicone for shock absorption and comfort.
• Lock-on designs for secure, slip-free performance on rugged terrain.

For riders who love downhill lines or freeride terrain, pairing your grips with protective gear ensures you’re ready for anything the trail throws at you.

Bar Tapes: Road Comfort Redefined

Bar tapes are essential for drop-bar setups on gravel bikes, road bikes, and cyclocross machines. Wrapping your bars in quality tape not only improves grip in wet or sweaty conditions—it also helps soak up vibrations from rough roads, giving you a smoother and more controlled ride.

Top Benefits:

• Available in cork, synthetic leather, and multi-density foam.
• Offered in various thicknesses—go thicker for comfort, thinner for a direct feel.
• Complements performance gear like cycling jerseys, socks, and clip-in shoes.

For extended rides, combine your tape setup with a lightweight bike multi-tool in your saddlebag or jersey pocket for quick adjustments on the go.

Choose What Suits Your Ride

Whether you’re outfitting your trail bike with rugged grips or refreshing your road cockpit with cushioned tape, BikesOnline Australia has what you need. Our range supports all disciplines, from upgrading ex-demo bikes to pairing new grips with fresh handlebars and stems.

Time to Refresh Your Ride

Like MTB tyres and brake parts, grips and bar tapes wear out over time. If you're noticing slipping, fraying, or reduced cushioning, it’s time to replace them. A quick refresh can drastically improve ride quality and safety.
