CORE Scooter Grips

Core scooter grips are designed to deliver reliable traction and shock absorption. Crafted from soft but durable rubber, they feature textured patterns such as ribbing or crosshatching for a secure hold. Core offers colour-matched bar ends and various lengths to suit different bar styles. For more customisation ideas, see our Scooter Grips Buying Guide.

Core grips are designed to resist wear, compression, and deformation. They include variations such as mushroom ends, flanged or flangeless designs, and different textures to suit rider preference. Compatible with various bar diameters, these grips often come with end caps and are built to pair well with Core completes in finish and design. They help reduce vibration fatigue, improve control, and endure weather and heavy usage.

Why buy CORE Scooter Grips?

Q

What makes Core grips comfortable?

A

Core uses soft rubber compounds that absorb vibrations. Patterns like ribbing or diamond textures enhance traction, while the compound remains comfortable even during long sessions. Riders who experience hand fatigue often appreciate the cushioning these grips provide.

Q

Are there flanged options?

A

Core offers both flanged and flangeless grips. Flanged grips provide an inner lip to prevent hands from sliding inward, while flangeless grips offer a cleaner look and easier bar spins. Choose based on your riding style and preference.

Q

Do they include bar ends?

A

Yes. Core grips come with matching bar ends. These bar ends protect the bar’s metal ends and reduce injury risk if you fall on the handlebar. Some bar ends are screw-in, offering extra security.

Q

What lengths do they come in?

A

Core grips are typically around 160–170 mm long, fitting most scooter handlebars. Some models may vary slightly, so measure your bars to ensure proper coverage.

Q

How do I install them?

A

Use rubbing alcohol or hair spray to lubricate the grip’s interior before sliding it onto the bar. Once dry, the grip adheres firmly. For a fast, tool‑free method, use an air compressor to create an air cushion as you push the grip on.

Q

Do Core grips fit all bars?

A

They fit most 22.2 mm bars, which is standard for scooters and BMX. Oversized bars still taper to standard at the grip area, so Core grips remain compatible.

Q

How durable are they?

A

The rubber compound is designed to resist tearing and maintain its texture over months of riding. However, like all grips, they’ll wear down with heavy use. Replace them when the pattern wears flat or when cracks appear.

Q

Are Core grips good for beginners?

A

Yes. The comfortable feel and secure grip make them ideal for riders just learning tricks. Soft grips help alleviate shock when landing jumps or catching bars during spins, giving beginners more confidence.
