This is the version riders usually end up on after trying everything else.The ProTaper 1/3 Waffle Grip already has that factory-style layout—less waffle, more usable surface. The Race Cut version takes it a step further with a cleaner, more dialed-in feel that serious riders prefer.You get that same 1/3 waffle setup, but with a more refined contact patch that keeps your hands planted without feeling bulky or over-textured.
Key Benefit

FAQs
What does “Race Cut” actually mean?
It’s a factory-inspired design based on what pro mechanics have been doing—modifying grips for better feel and control.
How is this different from a regular 1/3 waffle grip?
Same base pattern, but the Race Cut version has a more refined feel and cleaner contact surface.
Are these soft grips?
Yes. They use ProTaper’s soft, tacky rubber compound for better grip and comfort.
Do I need glue or wire?
Yes. These are not lock-on grips—use grip glue, safety wire, or both.
Will these fit my street bike?
They can fit most bikes with 7/8" bars, but they’re primarily designed for off-road use.
Are they good in wet or muddy conditions?
Yes. The waffle section helps maintain traction when things get slick.
Do they come as a pair?
Yes, left and right grips are included.

Love the thicker diameter on these. Great grip in all conditions and they’ve held up to many hours of riding.

Installed with grip glue and they haven’t moved since. Comfortable compound and the waffle pattern works great.
