FlatSociety Theory Grips

While they are designed with BMX riding in mind due to their slip-on construction and durability, they can be used on any bike that accepts standard-diameter handlebars. Just keep in mind that the smooth texture is optimized for the specific hand positions used in BMX.

Since these are slip-on grips, they require a bit of friction to stay in place. A light mist of rubbing alcohol or hairspray inside the grip acts as a lubricant for sliding them onto the bar, then evaporates to create a secure, non-slip bond.

Yes, the silicone material is designed to be used on its own. It provides a comfortable, shock-absorbing feel that many riders prefer for its simplicity and grip.

Wrapping them allows you to customize the diameter and texture of your grip. If you prefer a thicker feel or want extra sweat absorption during long sessions, adding a layer of bar tape over the silicone base is a great way to fine-tune your setup.

Silicone is highly durable and resistant to the elements, making it an excellent choice for BMX. Unlike rubber compounds that can get tacky or degrade over time, these grips maintain their shape and feel even after repeated impacts.
