Description
Ask five different racers what grip they run and a good chunk will say Pillow Top, and the Lite version in Gray/Black/Red is why that answer keeps coming up. ProTaper built this pattern to solve a specific problem: standard grips either grab well and wear out fast, or last forever and go slick after a few rides. The Pillow Top Lite splits the difference with a triple density build, so the outer surface stays tacky while the inner layers hold their shape and bond to the bar.
Features and benefits
- Gel-like surface compound absorbs vibration transmitted up through the bars on rough terrain
- Exclusive traction pattern maintains bite even when gloves and grips are caked in mud or dust
- Triple density layup improves the bonding interface with the handlebar for a grip that will not spin loose
- High-durometer Anti-Rip tip protects the vulnerable bar-end area from tearing and pull-off
- Lite construction trims weight and bulk compared to the standard Pillow Top profile
This Gray/Black/Red set is a direct fit for standard-diameter dirt bike handlebars and installs with the same glue-and-wire method riders already know. Part number 024884 is genuine ProTaper, shipped from IPD Racing’s stock, so a torn grip does not have to sideline a build for long. Pair it with fresh grip glue rather than reusing old tie-wire, since a clean bond is what actually keeps this pattern from spinning under hard throttle.
