ProTaper Pillow Top MX Grips

A grip upgrade is one of the cheapest, most noticeable improvements you can make to a dirt bike. Most riders don't think about grips until the ones they have start tearing or their hands are wrecked after a two-hour ride. The ProTaper Pillow Top is the reason a lot of those riders don't go back to anything else. This is ProTaper's most popular off-road grip. It's MX-specific, built around a triple-density construction that handles vibration, bonding, and durability as three separate problems — not one compromise compound trying to do everything at once. The outer surface uses a tacky, gel-like Vibrasonix compound that absorbs vibration and cushions impact rather than transmitting it straight to your palms. On rough terrain, over long motos, or through a full day of trail riding, that difference adds up. Your hands stay fresher and your control stays sharper because fatigue sets in slower. The inner core is formulated specifically to bond with the handlebar. It locks in without rotating or creeping under load. The tip is reinforced with a high-durometer Anti-Rip compound — that's the section that takes the most punishment from brush, rocks, and tip-overs, and ProTaper built it to last instead of fraying. The outer traction pattern is also designed to self-clean. Mud sheds away as you ride rather than packing into the surface and killing your grip when you need it most. Eight color options let you match your bike's plastics or run whatever combination you want.

Fitment Clarity

These are MX-specific grips designed for standard 7/8-inch (22mm) dirt bike handlebars — the universal size found on the vast majority of MX and off-road bikes. If you're running ProTaper's oversized 1-1/8-inch bars, check that the grip inner diameter is compatible before ordering. If you have an ATV, ProTaper makes the Pillow Top in an ATV-specific version — see PTR024859. Bar diameters differ between platforms, so make sure you're ordering the right style for your machine.

Install Insight

Before sliding these on, clean the bar grip area with contact cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Any oil or residue left on the bar will prevent the inner core from bonding properly and the grip will rotate on you. Secure with grip glue or safety wire. Glue works well for most trail and recreational riding. Safety wire is the better choice if you're racing — more secure and it won't let go. If you go with glue, let it cure completely before heading out. Rushing that step is how grips end up spinning mid-ride.

Who This Is For

Any MX or off-road rider who spends enough time on the bike to notice what their hands feel like at the end of a ride. The Pillow Top is a particularly good fit for:

Riders dealing with hand fatigue or arm pump on longer motos or trail sessions
Anyone replacing worn or torn stock grips and wanting a clear step up in quality
Riders in muddy or wet conditions where grip surface maintenance matters
Racers who want a proven, durable grip that doesn't need to be replaced every few weeks

If you're still running whatever came on your bike stock, this is worth the swap. The difference in feel is immediate.

Key Benefits

Vibrasonix Pillow Top compound — Gel-like outer surface that takes the edge off vibration and impact. Hands and wrists hold up better over long rides as a result.
Triple density construction — Three compounds doing three specific jobs. Better bonding, better feel, better durability than any single-compound grip.
Anti-Rip tip — High-durometer compound at the end of the grip where wear and impact are most concentrated. Extends grip life where single-compound grips fail first.
Self-cleaning traction pattern — Mud sheds from the surface as you ride. Grip stays functional in conditions where a tightly packed tread pattern turns into a liability.
Eight color options — Enough variety to match most popular bike colorways without having to settle for close enough.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the bar diameter these fit?

Standard 7/8-inch (22mm) MX handlebars. That covers the majority of dirt bikes. If you're on oversized 1-1/8-inch bars, confirm compatibility before ordering.

Glue or safety wire — which should I use?

For recreational and trail riding, grip glue is fine and easier to work with. For racing or any riding where you're pushing hard, safety wire is more secure. Some riders use both. Either way, clean the bar first or neither method works as well as it should.

How do the two-tone colors differ from the three-tone options?

The Black/Gray/X variants have three distinct sections — black body, gray middle, colored tip. The Red/Black and Blue/Black are a two-color design throughout. Same grip construction either way — it's purely an aesthetic difference.

Are these the same grip as the ATV version?

Same Pillow Top design and compound, but the ATV version (PTR024859) is built to ATV bar spec. Don't assume the diameters are identical — order the style that matches your machine.

How long do these hold up with regular riding?

Longer than most. The Anti-Rip tip and triple-density construction both contribute to a grip that outlasts standard single-compound options. How long exactly depends on ride frequency, terrain, and whether you're hard on your hands. Inspect the tips and surface periodically — when the knurling wears smooth or tearing starts, it's time for a fresh pair.

Do these help with arm pump?

They can. Arm pump has multiple causes, but grip fatigue and vibration are real contributors. The Vibrasonix compound reduces the amount of constant micro-vibration your hands absorb over a moto. For some riders that's a meaningful difference. It's not a guaranteed fix for arm pump, but it removes one of the factors that makes it worse.

Can I run these in the rain or wet mud?

Yes. The tacky gel-like compound maintains grip in wet conditions, and the self-cleaning tread pattern sheds mud instead of holding it. They perform well in mixed and wet conditions — that's part of what makes them a popular choice for enduro and trail riders who don't get to pick their weather.
