These super high quality ergonomic grips are our go-to choice for E-bikes. They are especially suite for the Cowboy models which require the lockable end to be on the inside of the handlebar as the original grips interlock with the brake levers. They are also made from innovative biobased materials.

• Manufactured in Carbon Neutral plant, scopes 1 and 2
• Made with 100 % renewable energy
• Responsibly Made in Finland

Biobased materials reduce use of fossil-based plastic

So how is this new grip made and what is special about it? Lockable bike grips normally consist of 2 parts. That is also the case of Nucore, where the inner core is made of a biocomposite using natural fibers and recycled polypropylene. This combination enables a lower CO₂ footprint compared to regular materials. This new and improved grip core is the heart of the Nucore series, and also what inspired us to the name! 

The outer layer, which is what you touch and see, consists of a hybrid material, combining biobased TPE made from renewable resources such as plant and vegetable crops, with regular TPE.

The bioplastics we use are made exclusively from biomaterials that are grown on soil that is not fit for food production. 

One of Herrmans’ main goals is to gradually decrease the dependence on fossil-based plastics. Nucore’s biobased material mix consists of 60% biobased material. I
