My hands and arms have been giving me trouble after riding for a long time, to the point that i can't even move them. I considered the fasst handlebars or new grips. would these help? what else would help me?

Thanks

P.S. I ride trails, so i don't need have any impact problems from jumps or anything

I think that you maybe just need to ride more often or start working out to develop your upper body. It sounds like maybe you need to work on your endurance.

Try loosening your grip so the blood can flow better.

Try consciously squeezing more with your legs to control the bike. Your legs are much stronger than your arms.

I rode this summer for 5-6 hours at a time. Just play riding, and after about 2-3 hours my legs would begin to hurt. I was so happy they were my legs and not my arms, because I naturally squeeze with my legs, I'm so thankful for that.
