Just a quick question, which grips do most people prefer? Ive read alot of good reviews on the Progrip Race Grips. Just want some of your opinions before I go and buy a set. Thanks Neil
I use pro grips on one of my bikes and find them superior to the OEM ones. They were of course used by Ducati on many bikes in the World Superbike championship and as such have been sold by them as alternatives to the stock grip.
I think these are the ones on mine. Softer than some of their others, so will wear quicker. Progrip Gel Touch Dual Compound Grips As Used By Ducati Corse Red/Black PG724
personally prefer the looks and feel of these but each to their own of course Ducati Handlebar Grips HI TECH Puig Racing
I second these - hard to het on though VERY tight Also changed gloves to Knox handroid pods which are quite thick leather so make the grip easier to grip "less curl of the finger" Found standard grips too skinny which dowsnt help precision on the throttle as you are holding too much curl in the hand.
I have the Progrips on mine. By far the best value mod I've done. I have the throttle spacers as well which is a massive improvement
You can order them from Ducati Coventry to save on shipping, but you will need a tri-wing bit to undo the throttle assemble. By far the best modification to a Panigale unless you love the unpredictability of when the throttle action starts!....
I have them on the 848 but I believe that the rear tyre will last longer than the grips. They are comfortable though.
