SB3 Big One Lock On Grips – 33 mm Diameter
Are you looking for grips that give you absolute control over your bike, uncompromising confidence in technical sections, and maximum relief for your palms? The SB3 Big One Lock On grips were created for riders who refuse to compromise. They are the ideal choice for those planning to ride long distances, owners of larger hands, or cyclists who require 100% handlebar contact combined with top-tier comfort.
Key Features of SB3 Big One Grips

- Single-sided Lock-on mechanism: Secure and firm fixation on the handlebars with an emphasis on keeping the cockpit lightweight.
- Premium finish: Alloy rings featuring a precisely engraved logo give your bike an exclusive look.
- Long lifespan and practicality: High wear resistance and independent, easily replaceable plastic bar ends.
- Wide variety: A large selection of colors to perfectly match your bike's build.
Maximum Contact and Comfortable "Padstone" Pattern
The SB3 Big One model features an oversized 33 mm diameter and a specific architecture based on a large-surface "padstone" grooved pattern. This specific design moves away from the classic concept of fine, low diamond patterns (which are prone to fast wear and deformation under pressure). The grip surface consists of wide, flat, and raised rubber segments that create a stable supportive platform for your palms. Deep, strategically placed grooves run between these blocks. As a result, hand pressure is distributed over a larger area without uncomfortable hot spots, while the material retains optimal compliance for shock absorption.
This well-thought-out combination ensures maximum contact area between the palm and the grip. The blocks slightly conform to the hand's anatomy under pressure, while the deep grooves function as efficient channels that instantly wick sweat and dirt away from the palm. This significantly extends the lifespan of the grip and guarantees a secure hold and excellent traction in any terrain—even when riding without gloves. That is why these grips are ideal for those who plan to ride long distances and those looking for maximum contact combined with premium comfort.
Clever and Lightweight Construction Down to the Details
To ensure the grips stay firmly in place even in the most technically demanding sections, they feature a modern single-sided Lock-on mechanism with Alloy rings. This system tightly fixes the grip against twisting on the handlebars while maintaining a very low weight, so it doesn't unnecessarily add bulk to your cockpit setup.
The design highlight comes from the metal Lock-on rings with an engraved SB3 logo, emphasizing the premium look of the entire accessory. The manufacturer also focused on the practical side of things and mechanical durability during crashes or simply when leaning the bike against a wall—the grips are fitted with independent replaceable plastic bar ends, which can be easily and affordably replaced if damaged, without needing to swap out the entire grip.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – How to Choose Grips?
Who are 33 mm diameter grips suitable for?
Grips with a larger 33 mm diameter are perfect for riders with bigger hands and anyone looking for maximum comfort on long rides. They provide a larger supporting surface for the hand and effectively absorb vibrations.
Which grips help against hand numbness and fatigue while riding?
Grips with a beefier pattern and a compliant compound help fight off fatigue and hand numbness (arm pump). The SB3 Big One, with its comfortable "padstone" pattern and grooves, dampens impacts brilliantly, reduces localized pressure on the palms, and reliably channels away sweat.
How does a single-sided Lock-on mechanism work?
This system uses a single aluminum collar on the inner side of the grip that tightens securely to the handlebar. The grip stays perfectly static, while the outer edge of the grip remains fully padded without any hard edges, increasing comfort for the outer edge of your palm.
