ProTaper Clamp-On Pillow Top Grip
The Good

Easy to install

The Bad

They are super thin. The bumps are at least half as high as the glue on Pillowtops.

Overall Review
I've used glue on Pillowtops for over ten years. They legit help with arm pump. The clamp on pillowtops are NOT the same grip. They have been shaved down a LOT to make up for the extra tube thickness beneath the grip.

ProTaper SELA Holeshot Device
Vital Review
The Good

Universal for modern bikes, simple install, works just like it is supposed to.

The Bad

Small click when riding, the priciest option for holeshot devices.

Overall Review
If you are going to line up to race motocross, a holeshot device is mandatory. But traditional holeshot devices usually take two people with good timing to engage (unless you are Ken Roczen). Enter the ProTaper SELA (Self-Engaged Launch Assist) Holeshot Device that makes it a one-person job. Just turn the knob, compress the forks and you are good to go. Also, the SELA is compatible with most modern motocross bikes, since the fork ring is adjustable and there are different pin latches for different bikes.

Overall Review
There’s only a few points of contact between the rider and the bike and they make a big difference in how the bike feels. The grips are one of the most important contact points for me. When the grips are too harsh, I feel like I am holding directly onto the metal bars and my hands will hurt for a day or so after. But if the grips are not designed with enough durability then you’ll find yourself having to buy new grips every other ride. ProTaper has not only adopted this concept from mountain biking and some moto lock-on grips but they’ve perfected it. First Impressions ProTaper has always had...
