Barkbusters adds open-ended dual compound Grips
Barkbusters, the global leading handguard manufacturer in Australia, has added a universal fitment Grips range for all motorcycle handlebars.
"With 38 years of expertise in the design and manufacture of motorcycle and bicycle handguards, Barkbusters is excited to announce the launch of new open-ended handlebar grips for motorcycles.
"After designing and manufacturing a range of handguards from street to competition and adventure to mountain biking, Barkbusters has created a new option for dealers with a product for riders wanting to enhance their bike for better control and comfort.
Barkbusters owner Bruce Collins explains that "with handlebars being one of the places the body connects with the bike when riding, handlebars play an important role in grip and handling. Our research has identified that design is one of the most important factors when choosing the correct handlebar grips.
"It is vital for the rider's hands to stick to the grips allowing for superior steer and brake control. Using a dual rubber compound, our Barkbusters branded crossover diamond shape pattern is specifically designed for exceptional grip. The dual compound construction inner layer features a harder compound rubber, holding the grips' form and preventing slippage or twisting on the handlebar.
"The outer layer is a softer rubber compound to provide increased comfort. The texture of the grip is super soft whilst still being thick for extra comfort in a slimline design.
"Barkbusters is closely associated with safety around the handlebar and our dealers have been suggesting we should add a range of grips to the brand offer. But we didn't want to just buy in any grips, we needed them to be identifiable as Barkbusters in their quality, form and function.
"OEM grips are usually a price-point compromise, but upgrading the grips is a simple yet hugely effective way for riders to improve comfort and safety on any motorcycle - by preventing hand slippage and reducing hand fatigue with our ultimate shock-absorbing compound. They also offer a cushioned grip and reduce vibrations through the hand.
"The universal fit allows for use on many motorcycles from street, dirt or dual sport and is easily installed. They are also compatible with other Barkbusters products, completing the look of the bike. The length is 118 mm with a 30.49 mm outer diameter."
