It all started with a simple wish: stylish leather grips to match my Brooks saddle. But everything I found was disappointing—expensive, short-lived, and often made of plastic. So I set out to create something better than anything on the market.
Inspired by traditional saddlery, I combined time-honored craftsmanship with modern CNC and laser technology. After more than a year of prototyping, something new was born: a grip made from durable leather that not only looks refined but is built to last a bike’s lifetime.
That’s how Manoli began—born from a love of urban cycling, fine craftsmanship, and the belief that every detail matters. Our grips are more than just accessories: they’re the connection between you and your bike.
I am a dedicated urban cycling advocate with a background in architecture and engineering. I am inspired by travels and cultural diversity. I value craftsmanship, design, and innovation that enhance everyday experiences.
