FAQs
What material are the Apico Grips Donuts made of?
They are made from soft and durable neoprene.
How many donuts come in a pack?
Each pack contains two donuts.
What colors are available?
This specific pack (BBAPI RED) is red and white.
Do these donuts help with grip strength?
No, their primary purpose is to provide comfort and protection by acting as a buffer, not to enhance grip.
Can I use these on my mountain bike?
While designed for motocross, they may fit some mountain bike grips with similar flange designs, provided the handlebar diameter is compatible.
How do I clean the donuts?
You can clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Will these prevent all thumb blisters?
They significantly reduce the likelihood of blisters by minimizing friction and abrasion, but individual riding styles and conditions can still play a role.
Troubleshooting
Donut slides during riding
Ensure the handlebar and grip are clean and dry before installation. The donut should be snug against the grip flange.
Thumb still feels sore
Verify the donut is positioned correctly to cover the grip flange. Ensure it is not bunching up. Consider if the grip itself is causing issues.
Donut seems too tight/loose
The donuts are designed to stretch slightly. For a tighter fit, ensure it's pushed fully onto the grip. If excessively loose, it might not be compatible with a very unusually shaped grip flange.
