ABSTRACT:
A handgrip is adapted to be sleeved on a tubular end of a handlebar of a bicycle, and includes a plastic elongated molded grip body. The grip body has an outer circumferential wall with a metacarpal portion and a proximate phalangeal portion respectively corresponding to anatomically contact areas of a human hand when the hand grips the grip body. The metacarpal portion has a cutout portion proximate to the proximate phalangeal portion. The cutout portion is elongated in the axial direction, and extends radially to communicate with an inner circumferential wall of the grip body. An annular shoulder portion is disposed inwardly from the cutout portion and radially toward the outer circumferential wall so as to define an annular insertion groove. A hollow flexible pad member includes a pad body which is inserted retainingly into the cutout portion. The pad body has an upper portion protruding outwardly of the outer circumferential wall to provide comfort to the metacarpal portion of the hand. An annular flange portion extends outwardly and circumferentially from the pad body, and is inserted the groove to hinder removal of the pad member from the grip body.
