Recommended Additional Upgrades
The RCB HG99 Handle Grip is a premium, high-performance option in the Racing Boy lineup, specifically known for its extended 125mm length. This extra length provides a broader surface area, making it an excellent choice for riders with larger hands or those seeking more versatile hand positioning during long-distance tours.
It features a dual-tone aesthetic that balances aggressive racing style with everyday street functionality.
Key Features
-
Dual-Surface Texture: The grip utilizes two distinct patterns to optimize control. One section is designed for maximum friction during acceleration, while the other is smoother to reduce palm irritation.
-
Semi-Tacky Rubber Compound: Made from a specialized rubber that feels slightly “sticky” to the touch. This ensures your hands stay locked in place even in wet or muddy conditions.
-
125mm Extended Length: While standard grips are often 120mm, the HG99’s 125mm profile is better suited for modern “fat bars” and larger throttle sleeves.
-
Vibration Absorption: The high-durability rubber is engineered to soak up the high-frequency “buzz” from the engine, significantly reducing hand numbness on long rides.
Why Choose the HG99?
-
The Comfort Factor: If you find 120mm grips feel “cramped,” the HG99 gives your hand more room to breathe and move, which is a lifesaver on multi-hour rides.
-
Visual Impact: The dual-tone colorways (like Black/Red, Black/Blue, or Black/Grey) are designed to pop. The accent color is molded into the rubber, so it won’t peel or fade like painted grips.
-
Durability: The “HG” series is known for being hard-wearing. These grips won’t turn into a “gummy” mess after a few months of sitting in the sun.
Comparison: HG99 vs. HG66
-
HG99: Longer (125mm), Dual-tone design, focused on a mix of touring comfort and street style.
-
HG66: Standard length (120mm), Single color, focused on a simple, low-profile diamond texture.
