What are the benefits of Gekko handrims?

Perfect ergonomics and outstanding grip combined with low weight make the Gekko a unique, revolutionary grip tire. The rugged, interchangeable silicone lip, fully integrated into the profile, contributes to the rider's exceptional handling characteristics and provides unsurpassed ride comfort. The anodized, low-friction surface on the sides also reduces the heat during braking.

Which profile size should you use?

For normal and large hands, we recommend the regular GEKKO profile, shown on this product page. For people with smaller hands or children, we recommend the profile of the Gekko S.
