PRO GuIDe New Domino Soft Plus grips raise the bar DOMINO, the leading Italian handlebar, throttle, grip, lever and switch specialist, has introduced its A260 Soft Plus off-road grip. The company says that it is "designed to help with the most severe and critical off-road uses, it is the result of strict laboratory tests performed by Domino R&D engineers in cooperation with the excellence of our testers. "The A260 Soft Plus is a reference product for its category, which has been created to deliver the optimum mix of ergonomics, comfort and durability. The simple shape enhances the qualities of a racing grip, to bring a new generation of design to the market, and its slightly convex shape under the palm Lario throttle controls of the hands makes holding the grip easier, even in the most demanding of conditions." The A260 is manufactured using a double injection process with polymers that "are the result of in-depth laboratory studies". Also seen here, the company has put technologically updated versions of its cult-status '60s and '70s 'Lario' and 'Rally' throttle controls back into production. Now in demand for use on restored bikes from that period, Lario throttle control is supplied complete with a throttle cable adjuster and a stroke limiting device (minimum stroke with closed limiting device 15mm, maximum stroke with open limiting device 25mm, quickness 2.9 degrees/mm). The Rally throttle control is described by Domino as being its café racer version, and, as such, is a simpler and more compact model (maximum stroke 42 mm, quickness 2.9 degrees/mm). It also has a retro-style grip in Para rubber colour.
