FAQs
What type of handlebars are these grips compatible with?
These grips are designed for standard 7/8 inch diameter motocross and MX bike handlebars. Always verify your handlebar size if you are unsure.
Do these grips come with adhesive?
No, adhesive is not included with the grips. You will need to purchase a suitable grip adhesive separately.
How do I clean the grips effectively?
Clean the grips using mild soap and water with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
Can I use these grips for other types of motorcycles?
While designed for motocross, they can be used on other off-road motorcycles. However, ensure the handlebar diameter is compatible.
What is the benefit of the dual rubber compound?
The dual rubber compound provides a balance of durability and shock absorption, offering a comfortable yet responsive feel.
How long do these grips typically last?
The lifespan of the grips depends on riding frequency, conditions, and care. However, the dual rubber compound is designed for durability under demanding use.
Will the blue color fade?
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Storing your bike in a shaded area can help preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Grips are slipping on the handlebars.
Ensure proper grip adhesive was used and allowed to cure fully. Clean both the inside of the grip and the handlebar surface thoroughly before reapplication.
Difficulty sliding grips onto handlebars.
Apply a small amount of grip-friendly lubricant (like water with a tiny drop of soap, or specialized grip slip solution) to the inside of the grip or handlebar. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants as they can degrade the rubber.
Uneven wear on grip surfaces.
Check for consistent pressure application and ensure you are not excessively twisting the grips during riding. Rotate grips if possible or consider replacement if wear is severe.
