Using the XR Trail Pro MTB grip set is easy. Just attach the grips to your handlebars and use the dual lock - on mechanism to secure them in place. Make sure they're tightened properly so they don't move during your ride. When riding, these grips will give you a great hold and added comfort. As for maintenance, keep them clean by wiping them with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finned texture. Also, check the tightness of the lock - on periodically, especially after long rides or if you notice the grips starting to shift. With proper care, these grips will serve you well for a long time.
