ABSTRACT:
A handlebar grip, particularly for a cross-country motorbike, has a covering of densely distributed flexible needles extending in a substantially radial direction from the external cylindrical surface of a tubular handgrip body mounted on the extremity of the handlebar. The needles made of a material with a high modulus of elasticity provide a grasp surface desirably soft and capable of ensuring a secure grasp also in presence of rain and mud by "pricking" the palm side of a preferably gloved rider's hand. The needles have the points preferably oriented in such a way as to form a favorable incidence angle with the rider's hand for promoting a more secure grasp.
