The Brooks England Slender 130-130 mm leather grips are made from vegetable-tanned leather and cork tape, offering an alternative to bulky grips. At the same time, they meet sustainability standards, allowing for the replacement of worn parts as needed. Their design features an aluminum casing around which the tape is wrapped like any other handlebar tape. The grips are then held in place by aluminum and steel clamps, which can be removed if the tape needs to be replaced. The tape is made from the same leather as Brooks England saddles.
