Leatt ReaFlex 6.0 Grips – Thin / Regular (MTB / eMTB)
The Leatt ReaFlex 6.0 grips are built for riders who want maximum control and direct steering feel—without the hand fatigue that often comes with modern aggressive MTB and eMTB setups.
What makes them different is the ReaFlex gel-infused core, using the same non-Newtonian material technology found in Leatt’s protection range. This gel reacts to impact forces by increasing resistance under load, helping absorb trail chatter and reduce micro-vibrations before they reach your hands. The result is less arm pump, less hand fatigue, and better comfort over longer or rougher rides.
The grips are available in two profiles:
- Thin: 31mm outer / 29mm inner — for riders who prefer a slimmer grip feel and maximum steering precision
- Regular: 33mm outer / 31mm inner — for riders wanting more palm support and additional damping
Both versions use a tapered profile, placing more support on the outer edge where palm pressure is highest, while keeping the inner section slimmer for better control.
The surface design is highly considered:
- soft flexible ribs around the thumb and forefinger improve control
- a half-waffle and triangular tread pattern improves finger traction
- a central bump pad supports the palm and reduces fatigue
- closed bump-protection bar ends protect both bars and surroundings
A single inboard lock ring maximises usable grip space while keeping installation simple via a 3mm Allen key.
For modern trail bikes and eMTBs—especially bikes running stiffer 35mm cockpit setups—this is exactly the kind of upgrade riders feel immediately.

Torque Collective Insight
This is a very smart eMTB grip.
A lot of riders assume:
softer grip = more comfort
…but that often creates:
- vague steering feel
- less support under load
- faster wear
The ReaFlex 6.0 solves that differently.
Instead of simply making the grip softer, it improves damping through the internal gel structure—so you keep:
- precise steering feel
- strong front-end feedback
- reduced fatigue over long descents
That’s particularly useful on:
- eMTBs
- longer rides
- rough terrain
- stiff carbon bars and 35mm clamp cockpit setups
The real choice is:
- Thin = precision and direct feel
- Regular = comfort and support
Both are excellent—it depends on rider preference.
This is a true “feel upgrade” product.
Fit & Sizing
Thin
- 31mm outer / 29mm inner
- Best for smaller hands
- Riders wanting maximum precision and direct bar feel
Regular
- 33mm outer / 31mm inner
- Best for larger hands
- Riders wanting more support and vibration damping
General guidance:
If you’re unsure:
- aggressive riders often prefer Thin
- longer-distance eMTB riders often prefer Regular
Grip diameter affects comfort more than most riders realise.
