Description
Kids’ hands are smaller, their grip strength is lower, and a standard adult grip on a youth bike almost always ends with a slipped hand or a sore palm by the end of a practice session. ProTaper built the 1/3 Micro grip specifically to solve that, sizing the diameter down to match its Micro Handlebar system while adding an oversized tip that resists getting chewed up in the inevitable tip-over. This Medium Black set is the go-to choice for parents setting up a youth bike the right way instead of just shrinking down adult parts.
Features and benefits
- Purpose-built for ProTaper’s Micro Handlebar youth control system
- Also fits stock CRF50F and PW50 handlebar controls without modification
- Oversized tip resists crash damage during the frequent tip-overs that come with learning to ride
- Smaller diameter mold matches youth hand size for a more secure hold
- Medium firmness balances durability with comfort for young riders
This Black 1/3 Micro grip installs with standard glue and wire on compatible youth handlebars. Part number 025082 is genuine ProTaper, in stock and ready to ship from IPD Racing, a small purchase that makes a real difference in how confident a new rider feels on the bars. Parents often order two sets at once, one to install now and one to keep in the toolbox for when the first pair eventually gets chewed up.
