Press Release: Race Face

If you ride anywhere near our hometown trails on Vancouver’s North Shore, you’ll want to stop by Mt. Fromme trailhead this weekend (November 25-26). The Grip Give’r is stocked with the allnew Chester Grips, and we’re looking for dedicated riders to brave the cold (and possibly wet) Shore conditions with some fresh rubber on their bars.

The Race Face crew will have the Grip Give’r on full display from 9am on both Saturday, Nov 25 and Sunday, Nov 26 at the location below. So, Shore riders, grab your bike, grab a riding buddy and come hang with Chester this weekend! Don’t worry, you can leave your loose change at home.

 That is the coolest freaking thing!! Thank you RF, you guys have been the shore since I first saw it on VCR tapes way back when 3” travel free ride bikes were the norm.. I wish I was on the right coast to be there!

 I was skeptical at first but we're nowhere near April 1st! I can confirm this is real as our whole family got a new set of grips today, the hardest part was picking out a colour - thanks Race Face!

 Thanks for the grips! I was really enticed with the idea of selecting grips from a vending machine. Very cool idea. Reminds me of when Homer Simpson got his hands stuck in two vending machines and was just holding on to the can.

 I am in love with these grips and I've only had 2 rides on them. Took them om flowy and rough trails and they provide the extra padding where you need it and I love the textures too. I love how they put extra rubber for the pinky finger which adds more control and more comfortable for my finger. Cheers RaceFace!

 Vending machine with many different options was awesome, and a shout out to the Raceface crew who were super nice. Stoked for my new gumwall coloured grips!

 They seem great. Pretty gummy compound with a reasonable amount of cushioning. 2 thickness options. If I hadn't got them for free, I might very well have purchased a pair.

 Will Chester actually be there or is this a marketing bluff?! Pretty sure he's busy digging at Boss's place on the island..

 More than half of the comments here are from RF accounts. Kinda silly. And I want these grips, too.
