FAQs
What type of bikes are these grips intended for?
These grips are specifically designed for motocross (MX) bikes and similar off-road motorcycles.
How does the dual rubber compound benefit the rider?
The dual rubber compound is engineered to provide a balance between durability for high wear resistance and softness for superior shock absorption and comfort.
Will these grips fit any motorcycle handlebar?
They are designed for standard motocross handlebar diameters. It's recommended to verify your handlebar size before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
How do I clean the Apico grips?
You can clean them using mild soap and water with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the rubber.
What is the advantage of the half waffle design?
The half waffle design offers a classic feel, providing comfort for the palm while the textured waffle pattern on the fingers ensures a secure grip, especially during acceleration and braking.
Do these grips help with arm pump?
Yes, the shock and vibration absorbing properties of the dual rubber compound and micro-diamond pattern are designed to help reduce rider fatigue and the effects of arm pump.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel too loose or spin on the handlebar.
Ensure the handlebar is clean and dry. Re-apply grip glue or a suitable adhesive and allow it to cure fully. If the issue persists, the grip may be the wrong size or damaged.
Grips are difficult to install.
Use a small amount of grip glue or isopropyl alcohol as a lubricant. Ensure you are pushing the grip on straight and evenly. Warming the grips slightly (e.g., with warm water, not heat gun) can sometimes make them more pliable.
Reduced grip after getting wet or dirty.
Clean the grips with soap and water to restore the micro-diamond pattern's effectiveness. Ensure they are dried properly before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These grips are specifically designed for motocross and MX bikes with standard handlebar diameters. Ensure your handlebars are compatible before installation.
Setup:
- Clean the handlebars thoroughly to remove any old grip residue or dirt.
- For easier installation, you can apply a small amount of grip glue or a solvent like isopropyl alcohol to the inside of the grip or the handlebar.
- Carefully slide the grip onto the handlebar, starting from the end and pushing it on until it sits flush against the throttle tube or bar end.

Care:
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will maintain the grip's texture and appearance. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber compound. Inspect grips periodically for signs of wear or damage.
