Function: These are soft, squeezable foam covers that slide over your existing grip rubber (you don’t remove your grip). They are intended to reduce vibration, add comfort on long rides, and relieve hand fatigue.
Fit / Sizes:
• The standard Grip Puppy is about 5″ (12.7 cm) long and fits standard handlebar grip diameters (≈ 0.7″ / 0.8″ bars)
• For bikes with larger, thicker grips (e.g., cruiser 1″ handlebars), they offer the Big Paw version to match larger diameter bars.
Material & Construction: Made of a resilient foam / rubber-type compound that is resistant to UV, ozone, and oxidation.
Installation:
• Slide over your existing grips (you can use a bit of very dilute soapy water internally to help fit)
• Can be trimmed to fit the desired length with a craft knife.
• Works with heated grips (i.e., doesn’t prevent heat flow)
Benefits:
• Adds extra thickness and cushioning to the grip surface, making it gentler on the hands
• Helps damp vibration that comes through the handlebars
• Many riders report reduced hand fatigue and improved comfort on longer rides (see user comments)
