Dirt bike grips<\/a> are such a simple thing. They’re essentially just pieces of rubber. But for such a simple part, the opinions on how they should be installed are varied and vehemently defended. Some argue grip glue is the best, while others go with safety wire. Then there’s the guys who swear by hair spray and spray paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these work, but are they the best? We’ve all heard riders saying they’ve never had their grips slip with their method, but then others will claim that very same way has never worked for them. Plus, the install can be a mess with glue or whatever spray you use. Safety wire can be a pain and if you don’t twist it just right, your grips are going to twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lock-on grips, also known as clamp-on grips, have been around for a little while now and more and more riders are becoming converts. Installation is clean, simple, and effective. When installed to spec, your grips will never twist on you, leading to more confidence out on the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
