Product Information
Full details
The Pro Taper Single Density Half Waffle Grips are designed for motocross and off-road riders who prioritize a classic, tactile feel and reliable control in diverse riding conditions. These grips offer excellent feedback through their single-density construction and proven half-waffle pattern, making them an ideal choice for riders seeking a balanced interface between their hands and the bike. However, riders looking for specialized vibration-damping or dual-compound luxury may find these grips more focused on traditional performance than high-tech ergonomics.

FAQs
Are these grips compatible with twist throttles?
Yes, these are standard off-road grips designed to fit standard handlebar and throttle tube diameters.
Do I need to use safety wire with these grips?
Safety wire is highly recommended for motocross and racing applications to ensure the grips do not rotate under heavy acceleration or braking.
What is the primary benefit of the half-waffle pattern?
The half-waffle pattern provides extra traction for the fingers while keeping the palm side smooth for better comfort and reduced blistering.
Are these grips made of gel or rubber?
They are made from a durable rubber compound designed for longevity and consistent feedback.
Can these be used on mountain bikes?
These are designed specifically for motorcycles; they may be too thick or hard for standard mountain bike handlebars.
Troubleshooting
Grips twisting or moving on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface was thoroughly cleaned of all grease before installation and use high-quality grip adhesive or safety wire.
Difficulty sliding grips onto the bars
Apply a thin layer of grip glue or compressed air to expand the grip during installation for a smoother fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Proven half-waffle grip pattern for superior traction
- Consistent single-density construction

- Highly durable for motocross applications
Cons
- No multi-density vibration absorption zones

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of these grips follows the standard industry process for off-road motorcycles. Ensure the handlebar surface is cleaned with contact cleaner and dried completely before application. While friction alone often holds them in place, many riders utilize grip glue or safety wire to secure them, especially for high-vibration applications.
To prolong the life of your grips:
- Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the rubber compound.
- Keep the bike stored away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent UV cracking.
- Periodically check that the safety wire, if used, is tight and not protruding to prevent hand injury.
Compatibility is generally universal for 7/8-inch handlebars found on most motocross bikes.
