FAQs

What makes these grips 'Synergy' grips?

The 'Synergy' line is designed to optimize the connection and control between the rider and their machine, integrating comfort, grip, and durability.

Are these grips suitable for trail riding?

While they offer excellent comfort, their design is specifically optimized for the high demands of professional motocross and supercross racing. Riders who prefer a firmer feel might find them too soft for casual trail use.

Do I need special tools to install these grips?

You will need grip glue and potentially tie-wire. A standard knife or razor blade may be needed to trim excess glue or wire.

How long do these grips typically last?

Designed for elite racers, they are engineered to endure a full professional season. Lifespan can vary based on riding conditions, frequency of use, and rider technique.

Can I use these grips with heated grips?

These grips are designed with a specific compound and pattern. Their compatibility with heated grip systems is not specified and may be affected by the integrated heating elements.

What is the main advantage of the 'Half Waffle' pattern?

The half waffle pattern provides a balance of tactile feedback and comfort. It helps prevent hand slippage without being overly abrasive, reducing hand fatigue and improving control.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel too soft or squishy.

This is an intended characteristic of the supple compound for reduced fatigue. Ensure grips are properly secured with tie-wire if slippage is perceived.

Grips are difficult to slide onto the handlebar.

Ensure the handlebar is clean and free of obstructions. Using a small amount of grip glue or a grip lubricant (for initial positioning only, then glue) can aid installation.

Grips are spinning on the handlebar.

The grips may not be securely installed. Remove the grip, clean both the handlebar and inside of the grip, apply fresh grip glue, and reinstall, ensuring tie-wire is used through the grooves for maximum security.

White grips are becoming discolored.

Clean regularly with mild soap and water. Stubborn stains may require a specialized plastic cleaner, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the handlebars thoroughly to remove any grease or residue.
  2. Apply grip glue (sold separately) evenly to the inside of the grip and the handlebar.
  3. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, ensuring it is fully seated.
  4. For maximum security, use tie-wire to secure the grip through the pre-molded grooves. Ensure the wire is tight and tucked away safely.
  5. Allow the grip glue to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before riding.

Compatibility:

These grips are designed for standard motorcycle handlebars used in motocross and supercross. Ensure your motorcycle's throttle tube and clutch perch are compatible with standard grip diameters.

Care:

Clean the grips regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the supple compound. Ensure grips are dry before riding. The white color may require more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance.
