The 7OX 2.0 Pro - a Gravity & Downhill grip
for ultimative performance
The new generation of the 7OX grip - the Pro 2.0 sets new standards with improved rubber compound and new grip design to provide less arm pump and more comfort. All changes to the 7OX 2.0 grip result in improved ergonomics, even better form fit, precise grip and secure feedback in every riding situation.
Prevent arm pump and save energy
Our internal tests have proven that the new 7OX 2.0 Pro grip can prevent pressure peaks and positively influence arm muscle fatigue.
The well-known problem of arm pump is always present when mountain biking. If the muscles of the forearm are tensed for a longer period of time, coupled with rapidly recurring impacts from braking waves, root carpets etc., the blood flow in the blood vessels is reduced. This results in the feeling that the forearms are " shutting down", which leads to a loss of strength in the hand muscles.
In order to investigate this loss of strength, SQlab examined the activation of the forearm muscles using electromyography (EMG) measurements (measures the electrical impulses in the muscle, which indicate the degree of activation of the muscle). In addition, acceleration sensors on the handlebars were used to record the unevenness in the form of vibrations in the ground and a grip force measurement.
Based on the results of the study with our MTB handlebars and 7OX grips (with different compounds), a new TPE compound was developed for the 7OX Pro grip for more damping and control in order to further reduce arm pump for all ambitious riders.
