ProTaper Handlebar Grip
ProTaper Handlebar Grips: Built for Riders Who Demand More
When it comes to the connection between a rider and their machine, few components are as critical — or as overlooked — as the handlebar grip. ProTaper, a brand that has earned its reputation on the motocross tracks and trails of the world, brings that same performance-first philosophy to their Handlebar Grips. Every grip is designed with the understanding that comfort, feel, and durability directly translate to control and confidence on the bike.
What Sets ProTaper Grips Apart
ProTaper is synonymous with precision engineering in the off-road and motocross world. Their handlebar grips are crafted from a soft, high-durometer rubber compound that balances vibration dampening with tactile feedback — so your hands feel less fatigue on long motos or technical trail sections without sacrificing the feedback you need to place the bike accurately. The grip surface patterns are designed to remain effective even when wet or muddy, a critical consideration for any serious rider.
ProTaper grips are sized to fit standard 7/8-inch and 1-1/8-inch diameter bars, including ProTaper's own renowned aluminum handlebar lineup, ensuring a seamless fit whether you're running their full cockpit setup or mixing components. The consistent wall thickness throughout the grip provides a uniform feel from the inner to the outer edge, reducing hotspots that can lead to blisters or numbness during extended rides.
Trusted by Racers, Proven on the Track
ProTaper's roots in competitive motocross mean their products are tested under the most demanding real-world conditions. Their handlebar grips are used by racers at every level, from amateur regional events to professional supercross and motocross circuits. That racing pedigree isn't just marketing — it informs every material choice and design decision that goes into each grip.
For off-road and trail riders, the same performance characteristics that win on the track translate to better control on technical single-track, improved endurance on enduro courses, and more confidence on the daily trail ride. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a seasoned competitor, the difference a quality grip makes is immediately noticeable.
Easy Installation, Long-Lasting Performance
ProTaper grips are designed for straightforward installation using standard grip glue or safety wire, with a snug fit that resists rotation under hard braking or heavy throttle applications. The rubber compound is formulated to resist UV degradation and wear, so they maintain their feel and appearance across many hours of riding — not just the first few sessions out of the box.
If you are building out a complete cockpit or simply looking to upgrade a worn or uncomfortable grip, ProTaper's lineup of Handlebar Grips represents one of the most respected choices in off-road riding.
