The RCB AHG14 Alloy Handle Grip is a stylish and functional mid-range option in Racing Boy’s alloy lineup. It serves as a balanced alternative between the basic rubber grips and the more aggressive, full-featured alloy balancers like the AHG16.
Like other “AHG” models, the AHG14 is a hybrid grip—combining a durable aluminum alloy chassis with soft silicone rubber for comfort.
Key Features
-
Premium Hybrid Build: The grip features high-quality aluminum alloy collars and end-caps, while the center is wrapped in a soft silicone rubber outer layer.
-
Anti-Fatigue Design: The soft rubber contact points are specifically designed to absorb engine buzz and reduce hand fatigue during long rides, offering better comfort than pure metal grips.
-
Integrated Bar Ends: The AHG14 includes matching alloy bar-end caps as part of the design, giving the handlebars a clean, unified look without needing separate weights.
-
Anti-Slip Texture: The rubber section is textured to provide a secure, non-slip hold in both dry and wet conditions, ensuring better control over the throttle.
AHG14 vs. AHG16: What’s the Difference?
-
AHG14 (This Model): Focuses on a slimmer, more streamlined look. The alloy accents are more subtle, and the grip relies heavily on the rubber center for a classic “sport-street” feel.
-
AHG16: Features built-in heavy balancers and a more aggressive full-alloy aesthetic. It is generally heavier and wider, designed for riders who specifically want to combat heavy handlebar vibration.
Installation Notes
The AHG14 is a universal fit for standard 22.2mm handlebars found on most underbones (Sniper, RS150), scooters (NMAX, Vario), and small sportbikes.
-
Throttle Clearance: Ensure the alloy collar on the right side doesn’t rub against your throttle housing, which could cause the throttle to stick.
-
Lubrication: Use a quick-evaporating lubricant like rubbing alcohol to slide the rubber onto the throttle sleeve. Avoid using oil or grease, as the grip will never securely set.
