ProTaper 1/2 Waffle Grips

If you’ve run a half-waffle before, you already know why riders keep coming back to it. This ProTaper setup keeps that familiar feel but adds a soft, tacky compound that stays consistent through long rides.It’s a simple grip done right — no gimmicks, just solid control, predictable feel, and a shape that works whether you’re riding hard or just putting in miles.You’ve got multiple compound and color options here, so you can dial in both feel and style without changing the core grip design.

Key Benefit

The biggest win here is control without effort. The half-waffle pattern gives your fingers something to lock into, while the soft compound keeps vibration down and grip feel consistent—even when your hands start to fatigue.

Compatibility

  • Designed for standard 7/8" handlebars
  • Universal fit for most motocross, off-road, and dual sport bikes

FAQs

What’s the difference between soft and medium?
Soft gives more comfort and vibration absorption. Medium lasts longer and feels a bit firmer.
Are these full waffle grips?
No, this is a half-waffle design—textured where you need it, smoother where you don’t.
Do I need glue or wire to install these?
Yes. These are not lock-on grips. Use grip glue, safety wire, or both.
Will these fit my street bike?
They’re primarily made for dirt and off-road setups, but they can fit some street bikes with 7/8" bars—just confirm first.
Do they come with throttle tubes?
No, grips only.
How long do they last?
Depends on compound and riding style. Soft wears faster, medium holds up longer.
Are they good in wet or muddy conditions?
Yes. The waffle pattern and tacky rubber help maintain grip when conditions get rough.
