Features:

Less hand fatigue. Less less arm pump:

The asymmetrical design puts more absorbing rubber on top of the grip where you need it most.

Separate finger zones for control and grip:
- The precisely defined finger zones on the underside of the grip maximize control in the most intense race situations. The four individual finger zones are angled to match the hand and arm angles of the rider ensuring a tenacious grip every situation – just like Vali Palace
