For a brand that’s all about touch points, grips for flat handlebars have been a long time coming for Fizik. However, its Comfortfeel grips are a valiant entry into a very saturated market. They provide excellent bar feel, decent traction, and great durability. But vibration damping leaves something to be desired, and they’re outshone by other grips in this price bracket.

Fizik Comfortfeel grips – Technical details

Fizik says that the Comfortfeel grips are designed to minimise vibration, thus boosting control, and that’s achieved through the texture the brand has chosen. For this grip, the texture combines a ribbed section that features tighter-packed ribs closer to the clamp. The finger portion uses a knurled base combined with ridges to improve control around the fingertips – this is something fairly common in a range of grips.

These grips intend to fend off harsh vibrations both through that ribbed pattern and also thanks to a cutout in the core, specially placed underneath where your palm would naturally sit.

As with most modern grips, these use a single locking collar. They then measure in at 32mm in diameter and 132mm in length, and weigh in at 98g.

Fizik Comfortfeel grips – Performance

As far as grips go, the Comfortfeel grips are rather simple, but simple rarely means bad, and they’re great performers. That said, they won’t suit everyone.

Fizik has done a solid job with the tread. It balances top-notch traction with excellent bar feel. I’m a fan of the work done to the finger zones too, which boosts overall grip that bit further.

As for the grip’s vibration reduction claims, I’m not too sure. While the cutout puts the rubber in direct contact with the handlebar, which helps to bring that excellent bar feel, it doesn’t do all that much to reduce vibration, as there’s still that hard handlebar surface beneath the grip. Because of that, I wouldn’t say that the Comfortfeel’s ability to reduce vibration transmission to the hands is anything above and beyond what other grips offer. Rather, it’s on par with its competitors.

Fizik hasn’t chosen a terribly soft rubber either, so while the ribs do bend and conform to the hand, providing good traction, it is a firmer rubber overall. And that can limit vibration damping. On the other hand, it is super durable. I’ve ridden with these grips for around four months, and aside from a bit of damage to the end of the grips, where I’ve leaned the bike against trees and the ground, the general surface of the grip shows incredibly little sign of wear.

So with that, there’s a real balance that has been struck. Although the grip is a little firmer and vibration-damping isn’t awe-inspiring, the Comfortfeel grips have hit a great middle ground between traction and durability. You won’t get that with softer and tackier rubber compounds.

Fizik Comfortfeel grips – Verdict

With an asking price of £30, Fizik has placed the comfort feel grips in perhaps the most competitive spot, and being brutally honest, there are better options for less money. One of which is ODI’s Reflex grips. A pair of these will set you back £28, and they do an excellent job of providing top-level grip while providing notably better vibration damping.

WTB’s Wavelength grips are fairly similar both in their design and price. They use a ribbed pattern in a slightly different arrangement, but thanks to their softer rubber and tapered shape, they’re more comfortable.

PNW Components’ Loam Grips are a personal favourite of mine, which, again, are tapered, but they balance traction, durability, and bar feel commendably. Better still, they’ll set you back £25.

Fizik’s Comfortfeel grips manage to combine solid traction with impressive durability, so if you’re looking for a long-lasting grip that performs rather well in the grip department, they may well justify their price. However, they’re easy to overlook at this price point, where others provide better vibration damping and general performance for less money.
