Product Information

Full details

These Pro Taper grips are designed for motorcycle riders seeking enhanced grip and reduced hand fatigue. They offer a unique '1/3 Waffle' pattern that increases contact area for better control, especially for the fingers, while maintaining a comfortable feel. A potential consideration is their super soft density, which may offer less durability compared to firmer grips.

FAQs

What makes the '1/3 Waffle' pattern unique?

It's a modification where one-third of the traditional waffle pattern is removed. This increases the surface area of the diamond pattern for better grip while keeping the benefits of the waffle texture focused on the fingers for control.

Are these grips suitable for all types of riding?

They are particularly well-suited for motocross, off-road, and trail riding where enhanced grip and reduced fatigue are beneficial. Riders who prefer a very firm grip might consider other options.

What material are the grips made from?

They are made from a super soft, single-density compound designed for comfort and grip.

Do I need special tools to install these grips?

Basic tools like a grip remover (optional), adhesive solvent or cleaner, and grip glue are typically needed. Ensure you have appropriate safety gear.

How long do these super soft grips typically last?

The lifespan can vary depending on riding conditions and frequency. Super soft compounds generally offer less durability than firmer compounds but prioritize comfort and grip.

Can I use these grips with heated handlebars?

These grips are not specifically designed for heated handlebars and may not conduct heat effectively. Modifications could compromise their integrity.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or spin on the handlebar.

The grip glue may not have cured properly or was not applied evenly. Remove the grip, clean both surfaces, reapply grip glue, and allow adequate curing time.

Throttle is sticking.

The grip may be installed too far onto the throttle tube, or there might be debris. Ensure proper clearance between the grip and handlebar end, and check the throttle tube for smooth operation independently.

Excessive hand fatigue despite grip change.

While designed to reduce fatigue, other factors like suspension setup, riding technique, or overall bike fit can contribute. Ensure the grips are the correct firmness for your preference and riding style.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved grip and control, especially for fingers.
  • Reduces hand fatigue during long rides.
  • Factory-inspired design for a custom feel.
  • Comfortable and supple material.
  • Precise feel due to reduced waffle pattern.

Cons

  • Super soft material may wear faster than firmer grips.
  • May not be suitable for riders who prefer a very firm grip.
  • Requires proper installation to ensure a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the handlebars are clean and free of any old grip residue. Apply grip glue (not included) sparingly to the inside of the grip and slide it onto the handlebar, aligning it properly. Allow the glue to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before riding.

Compatibility: These grips are designed for standard 7/8" handlebars, common on most dirt bikes and motorcycles. Verify your handlebar diameter before purchase. They are compatible with throttle tubes, but ensure no binding occurs.

Care: Clean the grips regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the rubber material. Inspect grips periodically for signs of wear or damage.
