ProTaper 1/3 Micro Grips – Medium Light Gray

These are built for smaller hands, plain and simple. The ProTaper 1/3 Micro Grip takes the same proven waffle concept and scales it down so younger riders or mini setups can actually hold on without overworking their grip.The 1/3 waffle pattern isn’t just a style choice—it’s there so fingertips do most of the work. Less effort, better control, and way less arm pump for riders still building strength.

Key Benefit

The biggest advantage here is reduced hand fatigue. The 1/3 waffle layout gives smaller hands more usable grip surface without needing to squeeze harder, which helps maintain control longer during a ride.
