Thank you for acquiring our Hope Technology Lock-On handlebar grips proudly designed, built and tested in the United Kingdom.
The grips have been designed, developed and extensively tested through riders and customer feedback to combat issues known with current lock-on style handlebar
grips. Their sided specific ergonomic design allows the grip to be fully moulded, providing grip from one end to the other, offering more surface area for hand contact.
Every component has been optimised to provide a slip free locking mechanism, yet reduced weight via CNC’d locking rings and integrated end caps, to the custom forged
stainless steel fasteners.

2. Remove the screws from the end of the grip which the end cap is located on
using a 2.5mm Allen key.
3. Remove the end cap by pushing it sideways towards the boss (as shown in
Fig.3), then pull it up on the same side (Fig.4). This will then allow you to
remove the cap.
Replacing:
1. Before installing new end caps, check for any debris or dirt in the grips.
2. Ensure the end caps are orientated correctly so the logo is the correct way
round and the locking tabs are aligned with the grooves in the aluminium
locking rings (these are moulded into the grip).
2. Place one of the locking tabs into the grip (on the boss side as shown in Fig.4)
ensuring it locates into the groove and push the other side down ensureing
you do not trap the rubber (you should here it snap into position).
3. Check the end cap is firmly locked in place by pulling on it before
re-assembling the screws into the grips and locating back onto the
handlebars.
