Audio: Keegan Swenson wins on Togs [begins @ 20:04]

The TOGs, the Thumb Over Grip system, is a simple and brilliant solution for creating more hands position, with minimal weight. TOGs caused me to remove the pressure from the handlebars, no longer a chokehold until the fingers changed color, resulting in the release of the shoulders and upper back. On the plains they allowed me to enter a more aerodynamic and bent posture. -bikepanel.com  Sharon Shachar

perfectly calculated narrow-ish bars + @biketogs are all the rage, two incredibly efficient XC additions to the @rockymountainbicycles element that make long climbs wayyy more comfortable on your shoulders during long days in the saddle -katiearaujo

"Great addition to my Intense 951 "Experimental" bike park setup. I also ride road and use the hoods quite a bit, so the Togs feel very "natural" on the uphill sections. For $20 you can't beat it!" Joe Reylek

"thrilled at how comfortable I was able to be using the TOGS; in fact, I reckon I spent a good 80% of the ride on top of the bars utilizing the TOGS because the trail was non-technical. Came away from the ride feeling good with ZERO pain in my hands! I rode this exact same trail a month ago without the TOGS and my right hand was numb and hurting for over two weeks. The TOGS completely fixed this! Thank you so much for the excellent product!!!"

I highly recommend adding them onto your bike for your next big adventure or tour to ensure comfort and control.
"TOGS yield a great amount of increased control and are surprisingly comfortable. The first ride or two you may find you have to adjust to using them but once you get used it; you’ll feel naked without them. After my first long ride with TOGS I really noticed my hands feeling better than normal. I originally started out with them on my cross-country bike and quickly put them on my bikepacking machine as well."

"Hi! I wanted to update you on how my togs worked for me in the P2P!
They were SO helpful on the climbs (which by the way was about 1,000ft more than the race advertised online!). They helped give my hands and wrists a physical rest when they needed it and they gave my head a mental rest when I was sick of being in the same position for too long. These little togs rock and I honestly think they helped me achieve my goal of finishing this race with a smile on my face. Thanks a bunch!" Lauren

Sian Turner Crespo -  They (Togs) were just awesome for the Leadville Race Series #lt100mtb yesterday!   Can you guesstimate how much time you spent in Togs?  The majority of columbine climb for sure so 1.5 hours there. Then with everything else at least a third of the race, maybe closer to half!

8.14.16 via Instagram
See those things sticking up near my grips? Your thumbs hook around them for a relaxed, secure position on your handlebars. Tried them out last weekend at the Leadville 100 camp and will definitely be racing with them.  @rypetry

After riding around 100 miles since I purchased a pair of TOGS I can gladly say I love them. To me multiple ways to grip the bars is an essential to comfortably ride for long distances. I would definitely recommend TOGS to any xc/enduro rider. Thanks for providing an amazing product. -Gunnar Barrett

Togs are the best component add-on for any bike. Not only does it give you an alternate hand position for climbing, but it is also a great component saver for when you need to flip your bike over for trail-side repairs. This is my third bike with Togs and will be on every bike I own in the future. Thank you!  Ken Newland

These are amazing! My hands feel so much better now on my bike. I wish they offered a bulk discount because I keep buying more for all my bikes!   Steven Wilke

Added these just before the Whiskey Off Road. I have ESI grips and my hands kept going numb on just about every ride prior. Having the option to simple rest your thumbs seems like it is too simple. It is surprisingly effective. A solid 50+ mile test with plenty of fire roads and climbing to have various hand positions. Very comfortable and my hands never went numb. Great product. You may need to cut your grips to be a little shorter if you have a lockout. My bar is a bit crowded now however I threw them on the day before the race with no time to get an exact set up. Cool part is you can move them on the fly, which I did. Not a lot but just a little. Once I cut the grips I think TOGS will be a welcome addition.  Brian Murphy

I got to use my #biketogs for the first time on a proper ride today and really got on very well with them, giving me good options in terms of hand position and a way of relieving numb hands. I also noticed more control on climbs too! I've always appreciated being able to move my hands around the bars, these coupled with the #esifitcr grips have allowed a very comfortable setup for all round riding.  just_jinky

"An unsolicited HJR shout out to @biketogs for making a great product. A few of the Jerks raced w/ their Thumb Over Grip System and loved them. Rob had his first win of the season and Steve posted his best SS time. Both guys loved the added comfort and extra leverage on the climbs. In this day and age of 12-speed mega drive trains, electronic this and GPS that it's refreshing to find a simple, low cost and American made cycling product that truly enhanced the quality of the ride. It won't be long before you find a few more TOGS on some HJR bikes. Ride on!"   #handsomejerksracing handsomejerksracing.com

"TOGS Give Riders a Hand Up." "I personally found the TOGS hand position convenient and comfortable" - 

11.8.15 via Instagram

"So, I've been riding with these @biketogs for a few weeks now. With single speeding, I often found myself in a chimp-like hand position on long steep climbs and now that I have something to wrap my opposable thumbs around it's so much more comfortable and natural feeling. I noticed during tonight's ride that I was only ever out of this position during gnarly descents and while airing off of anything I could. I also haven't had any numbness I would usually get in my right hand on long rides due to nerve damage. 10/10 I'm a fan and they will be staying on my mountain bike." - danielray_spbc

"I've got a set. They work well. Give a different position in endurance racing, helps with back and shoulders. I tend to climb fire roads with my little fingers hooked round them like a mini-bar end. Helps lock the core somehow so you end up using less body movement, and then saving energy or putting the power down more efficiently. Also if you're grovelling into a headwind on the road, you can use them against your arms to give a bit better stability/confidence when your resting your forearms on top of the handlebars aero-roadie style." -rexated

"I've checked out postings and reviews about these over the past couple months and was already interested, but I was happy to see that they are a Utah company and had a display at the SLC Endurance Sports Expo. Seeing the Togs in person sealed the deal for me. They are surprisingly light, nonintrusive, and have a nice design and finish. I've had 2 rides with them and it adds extra comfort to an alternative hand placement option. I frequently put my thumbs up anyway, but with the Togs I had more control and leverage...and as an added bonus, they look great too. Thanks for the cool product!"  Lance Colby

 "Very stoked on the extra position the Togs provide. They weigh hardly anything and if I was  to do the divide again I'd strongly recommend them if your running a flat bar. They look kinna  funny and if I had one nit to pick it would be the sharpish edges near the clamping bolt"

"The ability to use a little thumb pressure with the TOGS results in a lot more bike control. I didn't think I would use the TOGS on steep climbs or while riding up tricky sections, but I use them all the time. I even find that I can easily transition to standing climbing without unhooking my thumbs. As an added bonus, using the TOGS has helped with an ulnar nerve compression problem...the tingling in my fingers has not been occurring since I began using TOGS."

"I made a point of trying not to think about the TOGS but I did find myself using them a lot, particularly when just 'cruising' along on fireroads and doubletrack. Even though your entire hand is on top of the bar rather than wrapped round it you do feel very secure. The ability to brake isn't affected and if you have 2 way shifters you can happily change gear without moving your hands." Full review

"Here are pics of TOGS on my patrol bike. I have long been a thumb over grip rider and now have something to provide leverage and control as I ride. Being a Bike patrol Officer I spend a large amount of time in the saddle and I am always looking for products to make us safer and more efficient. When I received the TOGS, I removed my beloved bar ends. We issue bar ends to our Officers so that we may change our grip on the bars throughout the day to alleviate pressure on our hands. With a bit of trepidation, I placed my bar ends in the parts cabinet, removed my Oury grips and added the TOGS. At first glance they looked sturdy and well thought out. After riding with them for the day I had a bit of wrist pain so I adjusted them again. Now I have them dialed in and these are great! I have been using them for about 5 weeks now and I am in love with them. I am able to use them for leverage when I am climbing and they have really increased my comfort as I ride. I look forward to riding with them and testing them out on the trails soon."

"I bought a pair. They are simple, maybe a little overpriced for some molded plastic, but they work as advertised and give you another stable hand position on the bars. The difference is that you feel like you are in control of the bike, not just resting your hands on top of the bars. And you can use the brakes, too. My favorite mountain bike accessory? No. But they work as advertised. I have them on my gravel grinding monster-cross 29er and I really like them."

"The other day, I ordered your product and tried it at a crazy 24 hour endurance race (with lots ups and downs and mud) here in Japan. I found TOGS very effective at climbing sections and also at flat sections to take a relax position. Never though a slight change in grip would make a big difference. Many thanks to such a great innovation."

"Comfort and control has long been a compromise, chose one and the other suffers, until now. TOGS give you the best of both worlds" - Michael Flanick

November 22, 2014 from John Huth via Strava

"Gave TOGS (togs.com) a try for the first time, they worked great.  Spent the first hour fiddling with position.  At about 2 hours I noticed that I went to them naturally for the first time, then at about 3 hours they became part of the way I now ride. I was looking for an alternative to bar-ends - these are like bar-inds and I can ride while using them and still have access to the brakes which does not happen when out on bar-ends.  I found myself even using them on rolling climbs. I am now running my Ergon GS1s as the manufacturer recommends with more tilt toward the front.  That leaves you feeling like you might slip off when you bring your thumbs on top for a little position change and rest.  The TOGS helped a give me a little hook so that my hands would not come off the front when I hit some chatter on the climb. Definitely worth a try if you like to switch your hand position."
