When you choose to make a purchase for your motorcycle in our webshop, you enjoy 4 combined benefits that set us apart:
At Cafe Racer Webshop, we offer grips that come in different materials to cater to different needs. These include:
When choosing between slip-on and lock-on grips, it's important to understand the key differences as they both have their own unique pros and cons. Slip-on grips are designed to be slid onto the handlebars and held in place by friction. They are flexible and easy to install with am air compressor but may require more frequent adjustments over time as they are more prone to wear and tear. Lock-on grips, on the other hand, use a clamp mechanism to secure the grips firmly on to the handlebars. This design is reliable, more secure, and reduces the risk of grip rotation while riding.
Open-end grips have a hollow cylinder inside and is open on both ends, allowing you to attach accessories like bar-end mirrors, counterweights and LED lights. They are ideal for riders who want a customizable handlebar setup and are great for those looking to add more functionality to their bikes.
Closed-end grips however, are covered on the side, which provides a more clean and minimalist look, covering the ends of the handlebars. These grips offer better protection from dirt and debris while stabilizing the handlebar.
Your comfort and control when riding a motorcycle can be greatly impacted by the decision between soft and hard grips. Because soft grips—which are frequently made of rubber— absorb road shocks, are far more comfortable for lengthy rides and are good at reducing vibrations. The only drawback is that they typically wear out more quickly. On the other hand, hard grips, made of materials like aluminum or plastic, feel stiffer and are far more durable. Hard grips offer superior control, which is crucial for riders who are performance-focused, even though they could compromise some comfort.
For year-round motorcyclists or those who live in colder climates, heated grips are a game-changer because your hands are among the most susceptible parts to the cold. The performance and control of the bike can be greatly impacted by two cold hands. The grips' integrated heating elements consistently warm your hands, preserving dexterity and easing discomfort during long rides. Many heated grips have adjustable temperature settings, so you may alter the heat according to your preferences or the weather.

Installing the grips on your motorcycle is a rather simple process. Although slide on grips simply slip onto the handlebar, they should be secure without any addition. Although some people like to use compressed air to help if they run into any installation issues. Despite the clamp mechanism for the lock on grips, they are still very simple to attach and detach. Make sure to check the product description for any specific installation instructions, and ensure the grips are compatible with your bike's handlebar size.
You can start by either cutting them off directly, as they are already worn or you can loosen the old grip. If you prefer the latter, you can do this by sliding a small flathead screwdriver or any thin tool to go in between the grip and the handlebar. This creates a gap that allows you to spray a bit of lubricant or compressed air inside. Rubbing alcohol also works well because the air or lubricant breaks the seal of the grip, making it easier to slide off.
Once the grip is loosened, twist it back and forth while pulling it toward the end of the handlebar. If it’s still stuck, you can repeat the process of adding more lubricant or air until it comes off smoothly. If the grips are glued on, you may need to carefully cut them off with a sharp blade but be careful not to scratch or damage the handlebar underneath. After the old grips are removed, clean the handlebar surface thoroughly to remove any leftover glue or residue before putting on your new grips.
Yes, many motorcycle grips are made with vibration-dampening features. Rubber grips are especially good at absorbing shocks from the ground, as the rubber’s dampening effect reduces the intensity of vibrations traveling through the handlebars, which can otherwise cause discomfort and lead to hand fatigue or numbness during long rides.
Most heated motorcycle grips are made to be weather resistant. However, it’s important to properly install the grips and that all wiring is correctly sealed to prevent water damage. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for more detailed care instructions.
To choose the correct size, you need to know the diameter of your handlebars. We offer grips in sizes 22MM (7/8") (often the size for European, Japanese and Chinese bikes), 25.4MM (1") (for American bikes), and 28.3MM (1.25") for odd-sized handlebars. Measure the handlebar diameter where the grips will be installed, and compare it to the inner diameter of the grips. Most grips are designed to fit standard motorcycle handlebar sizes, but it’s always good to double-check.
