VariGrip System

Only very few (e-)mountain bikers can afford the right bike for every use. There are now a number of ways to optimise one and the same bike for home rides, long Alpine tours or bike park use: Tuning features such as flip chips on the frame or a second, tougher wheelset make it possible. For these versatile and demanding mountain bikers, Newmen has gone one step further with the VariGrip system and offers child's play handlebar width tuning for every area of use. The unique and innovative system allows stepless handlebar width adjustment of up to 50 mm.

Whether you want to skilfully circle around tight trees on the narrow single trails in Massa Marittima or whizz through berms at high speed in the Sölden bike park: No problem with the VariGrip system consisting of handlebars and matching grips. The VariGrip system allows you to adjust the handlebar width in just a few simple steps. There are various versions of the lightweight carbon handlebar, the Advanced VGS: For Cross Country to All Mountain, a narrower version with a width of 710 - 760 mm and for Enduro to Downhill, a wide version with a handlebar width of 760 - 810 mm. These two Advanced VGS carbon handlebars are available with a 10, 25 and 40 mm rise.

Smart and simple were the requirements when developing the VariGrip system. It was realised using two threaded pieces that are firmly laminated into the handlebars and grip. This allows the grip to be moved continuously by 25 mm on each side. In addition, the bar ends of Newmen VGS handlebars have special reinforced threaded sleeves that provide the necessary stability even at maximum handlebar width. A scale with 5 mm spacing on the handlebars and the grip clamp with a 3 mm Allen key make adjustment child's play and safe, even off-road.

The Advanced VariGrip carbon handlebar is perfect for bikers who like to experiment with different widths, for rental bikes and demo bike fleets. Of course, it only works with Newmen VariGrip grips.
