🔹 DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

Mushroom Rib Texture

• Classic stacked mushroom ribs along the full grip length for enhanced comfort and traction.

• Flexible rib structure absorbs road vibrations and reduces hand fatigue during extended rides.

• Deep channels promote air circulation and moisture displacement for secure grip in wet or sweaty conditions.

• Modeled after original old-school BMX “Turbo” pattern grips used in the 1980s freestyle scene.

Flange & End Design

• Inner flange (~4 mm thick) molded in black PVC for added style and hand stability.

• Smooth, rounded flange edge ensures palm comfort and wrist protection.

• Black closed end caps protect handlebars from impact and debris intrusion.

Two-Tone Construction

• Manufactured using dual-injection molding technology — color sections are fused permanently.

• Distinct black flange and white body combination creates an authentic, custom old-school look.

• Will not fade, peel, or separate under long-term use.
