  • Publication number: 20030213331
    Abstract: A handle grip system for ergonomically positioning a rider's hands upon the handlebars. The handle grip system includes a main body having a front portion and a rear portion, an inner flange extending from an inner end of the main body, an outer flange extending from a distal end of the main body, and a stop member extending from the front portion near the inner flange for receiving the index finger of the rider. A straight bore extends through the main body from the inner end for snugly fitting upon a handlebar. The rear portion preferably has a convex structure with a plurality of rear channels within. The front portion preferably has a concave structure extending from the stop member to the outer flange. The main body preferably has an oblong cross sectional structure with the width being greater than the height. An outer channel and an inner channel preferably extend completely about the perimeter of the inner section and outer section of the main body respective.
