They are primarily designed for motocross and enduro bikes. Always check for handlebar compatibility.

How do I remove the old grips?

Cut them off with a sharp knife, taking care not to damage the handlebars.

What is the waffle pattern for?

The waffle pattern is designed to enhance grip in the finger area for better control.

What does the smooth palm side of the grip provide?

It reduces the likelihood of blisters and increases comfort.

How often should I replace these grips?

Troubleshooting

Grips are difficult to install.

Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and lubricated. Use grip glue and compressed air to ease installation.

Grips are slipping.

Make sure you used grip glue and allow sufficient time for it to dry. If using safety wire, ensure it is tight and secure.

Grips feel too firm.

Consider a softer compound grip if comfort is a priority; these are designed for durability.
