RCB AHG16 ALLOY HANDLE GRIP – UNIVERSAL

The RCB AHG16 Alloy Handle Grip is a high-strength, CNC-machined upgrade that offers a more robust and mechanical feel compared to standard rubber grips. It is frequently categorized as a “Premium Racing” grip due to its hard-alloy construction and the inclusion of built-in balancers.

Unlike the AHG66, which uses a thick rubber sleeve, the AHG16 emphasizes its full-metal aesthetic with precision-etched patterns for grip.

Key Features

• CNC Billet Aluminum: The body is carved from high-quality aluminum, providing maximum durability and a rigid interface with the handlebars.

• Integrated Balancers (Bar-Ends): The AHG16 comes with built-in alloy bar-end plugs. These serve as “balancers” to help reduce high-frequency handlebar vibrations while giving the bars a clean, finished look.

• Anti-Skid Surface: Despite being an alloy grip, the surface is precision-machined with an anti-slip pattern to ensure your gloves maintain a secure hold even in wet conditions.

• Shock-Absorbing Inserts: It often features internal silicone or rubber damping layers to prevent the “hard” metal feel from causing hand fatigue during longer rides.

• Hard Anodized Colors: Available in vibrant racing colors (Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Black) that are resistant to UV fading and scratches.

AHG16 vs. AHG66: Which should you choose?

• Choose the AHG16: If you want a heavier, more solid feel. The integrated balancers make it a great choice for bikes that vibrate heavily at high speeds. It also offers the most “custom” look with its full-alloy finish.

• Choose the AHG66: If you prefer the plushness of rubber. The AHG66 uses more rubber in its design, making it slightly more comfortable for riders who do not wear thick racing gloves.

Installation Tip

Because the AHG16 includes its own bar-end balancers, you may need to remove your factory bar-end weights before installation.

Pro-Tip: If your motorcycle has “threaded” internals inside the handlebar, you may need a specific adapter or long bolt to secure the AHG16 balancers properly. For hollow bars, the included expansion plugs usually work perfectly.
