"But Portland Design Works is kicking it old school with the new Lisbon Cork Grips. These classic-looking grips throw it back to simpler times with cork, a renewable resource. Cork is easy on the hands (and the eyes), and the Lisbon Cork Grips bring a little bit of class to the cockpit with a timeless aesthetic and comfortable contact point."
"While they might not be ideal for mountain biking, they are perfect for your basket bike, commuter, or bikepacking rig. Thanks to the naturally occurring resilient structure of cork, the Lisbon Grips offer comfort for long days behind the bars, and their subtle texture provides plenty of grip in all conditions. Unlike other cork grips on the market, the rubber and cork blend at the grip end reinforces the high-wear area so that they don't start falling apart after a few encounters with the ground."
Lisbon Cork Grips are natural cork bicycle grips made in Lisbon, Portugal, combining lightweight construction with durable reinforcement in high-wear areas. They weigh 58 g per pair, fit 22.0 mm-diameter handlebars, measure 127 mm long, and have a 34–36 mm outside diameter. The cork material provides cushioning, comfort for long rides, and a subtle textured surface that maintains grip in varied conditions. A rubber-and-cork blend at the grip ends increases longevity after contact with the ground. The grips suit commuters, basket bikes, and bikepacking rigs and add a classic, natural-material aesthetic to bicycle builds.
