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 ."
