Antic Handlebar Grips ProTaper 1/2 Waffle Grips Soft Black
SKU: ptr024847
Overview
The ProTaper 1/2 Waffle Grips deliver the legendary waffle-pattern traction that motocross and off-road riders demand, in a soft compound that reduces hand fatigue on long rides. Designed for standard 7/8" and 1-1/8" oversized handlebars, these grips are a go-to upgrade for dirt bike, MX, and enduro riders looking to improve control without breaking the bank. The classic half-waffle texture strikes the perfect balance between grip confidence and palm comfort.
Key Features & Benefits

- Classic ProTaper Design — Trusted by professional and amateur motocross riders worldwide, offering a proven combination of durability and performance
- Universal Fitment — Designed to fit both standard 7/8" bars and 1-1/8" oversized ProTaper-style handlebars for broad compatibility across most dirt bikes and MX machines
- Secure Installation — Ribbed inner collar ensures a firm, no-slip mount whether secured with safety wire or grip glue
- Affordable Performance Upgrade — One of the most cost-effective ways to improve feel and control on any dirt bike or motocross machine

Fitment & Compatibility
ProTaper 1/2 Waffle Grips are compatible with the vast majority of off-road motorcycles, motocross bikes, and pit bikes equipped with standard 7/8" diameter handlebars or 1-1/8" oversized bars. Suitable for popular brands including Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, Husqvarna, Beta, and more. Always verify your handlebar diameter before ordering. These are not intended for street motorcycles or ATVs with non-standard grip areas.
Installation
Installation is a straightforward DIY process for most riders. Slide the grips onto clean, dry handlebars and secure using grip glue, safety wire, or a combination of both — safety wire is recommended for competitive or aggressive riding. Allow adhesive to fully cure before riding if grip glue is used. No special tools required. Professional installation is not necessary but recommended if you are unfamiliar with grip changes to ensure proper throttle-side fitment and free rotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the ProTaper 1/2 Waffle Grips the right choice for motocross? Yes — the half-waffle pattern is one of the most popular grip styles in motocross due to its balance of traction and comfort, making it ideal for both practice and race days.
What is the difference between 1/2 Waffle and Full Waffle grips? Full waffle grips feature the waffle pattern across the entire grip surface, offering maximum traction but more aggressive feel. Half waffle grips feature the pattern on a portion of the grip, delivering a slightly smoother feel while still providing excellent hold — preferred by riders who want comfort alongside control.
Do these require grip glue or safety wire? ProTaper recommends using grip glue, safety wire, or both for secure installation. Grip glue alone is sufficient for trail and recreational riding; safety wire is advisable for racing.
