Flybikes – Ruben II Grips

Leave a Comment

Get a look at the new Ruben II grips from Flybikes…

Over the years we’ve seen A LOT of products come and go from brands all over the world. One line of products that have stood the test of time have been the Ruben Alcantara signature line from Flybikes. The Ruben grips and Ruben Pedals have been apart of their line up for quite some time now and they really haven’t had too many changes made behind some small tweaks or adding a plastic version of the pedals for the riders who don’t prefer metal pedals.

After 15 years of production, Ruben decided he wanted to try out something new with his signature Ruben grips and went to work with Flybikes to create a new version of the grip that kept a similar pattern and feel, but had some key improvements. The Ruben II grips have a similar look, but an even better feel. They’ve removed the taper from the end of the grips, made the ribs on the grip thinner, taken the diameter down a bit to 29mm, and added a unique 45mm diameter flange that tapers with a mushroom pattern to give it a really comfortable feel.

The Ruben 2 grips have a 160mm length with a soft 25-degree rubber durometer and come in colors of Black and Gum with a $10 price tag. For those of you worried about the weight of your grips, these weigh in at 3.95 oz. (112 grams). You can pick these BMX grips up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Flybikes worldwide and online now, or direct from the Flybikes webstore now!

Over the past year, Jonny Lee has been experimenting with 3D printing different BMX parts. Today he dropped a video showing us how he made his own BMX Grips by 3D printing his own mold. This video shows you how the mold was made, minus the CAD drawing part that he usually shows in his videos, along with some footage of him riding with the grips. Hit play and take a look!

Cult X Vans Grips

“After wearing Vans for most of our lives, we wanted to see if the Vans waffle pattern would work as well with our hands as it has with our feet. The grip was designed by Cult and sent to ODI for production. Using their proprietary rubber compound, we have created a grip that we hope will become as much of a classic as a pair of Vans.

Proudly made in the USA by ODI…”
