RCB AHG66 ALLOY HANDLE GRIP – UNIVERSAL

The RCB AHG66 Alloy Handle Grip represents the high-end evolution of the popular HG66 series. It takes the proven comfort of the rubber “diamond-knurl” pattern and integrates it into a CNC aluminum frame, creating a grip that is as much a piece of jewelry as it is a functional control.

It’s the “best of both worlds” for riders who want the premium look of metal without the vibration and slipperiness often found in full-alloy grips.

Premium Hybrid Design

• Anodized Aluminum Frame: The inner collar and the outer end-cap are CNC-machined from high-strength alloy. This provides a structural “weight” to the bars that feels much more solid than pure rubber.

• Rubber Cushioning: The center section features the classic HG66 diamond-knurl rubber. This ensures that your palm is resting on a soft, vibration-dampening surface, while the metal parts provide the visual “pop.”

Key Features

• Integrated Style: The AHG66 is designed to look like a single, seamless unit. The transition from the rubber to the aluminum is smooth, preventing any “hot spots” or rubbing on your hands during long rides.

• Open-End Ready: It is built for riders who use Bar-End Weights or Mirrors. The aluminum end-cap is pre-machined to accommodate a bar-end bolt, ensuring a clean, professional finish.

• UV & Weather Resistance: Unlike cheap rubber grips that can turn “gummy” in the sun, the aluminum chassis helps protect the rubber core and keeps the grip’s shape perfectly round for years.

Why choose AHG66 over the AHG08?

• The AHG08 uses smaller rubber “pads” and has more exposed metal. It’s flashier but can feel “harder” on the hands.

• The AHG66 prioritizes the rubber contact patch. It feels almost like a standard rubber grip but gives you the premium “weighted” feel and colored accents of an alloy grip. It is generally the better choice for daily commuters who want luxury without hand fatigue.

Performance Advantage: “The Weighted Feel”

The extra weight of the aluminum collars in the AHG66 acts as a minor vibration damper. By adding mass to the ends of the handlebars, it changes the resonant frequency of the bars, often making the engine “buzz” feel less sharp at high speeds.

Pro-Tip: If you are installing these on a bike with a very smooth throttle (like the R15 or CBR150R), make sure the aluminum collar doesn’t rub against your switch housing. Leave a 1-2mm gap to ensure your throttle snaps back freely and safely.
