I like Rizoma stuff, BUT the Sportline grips, while pretty are a bit too small...and the rubber aluminum thing doesn't really improve grip anywhere. I got some Rizoma mirrors...can't remember the model, BUT while pretty, still show plenty of elbows. The rearsets are nice, BUT the "Texalium" heel guards look funky with the black rearsets. Should come standard with the CF guards. The only things I haven't found fault with are the brake and clutch reservoirs.

I don't know anything about their grips

Their mirrors are amazing and I have no idea what "elbows" are.

If you don't like their " "TEXALIUM" ", then get these.


honestly I was trolling about the grips. But Rizoma makes awesome products all around.

Drink up  waytogo


They make nice shiny parts that are very pretty. In terms of function in comparison to their competition, they middle of the road at best.

Hey I love Rizoma.  I've got the Reverse Retro Bar End Mirrors and love them.  The build quality is astounding.

I've heard nothing but bad things about the grips though.

Now, I love farkle, but I could never find a reason to replace my stock grips.

They work great, they're already black, they didn't cost extra, and I didn't have to remove and replace anything.

Plus, I've never seen any custom grips that made me go, "Wow, I want those!"

In any event, if I were to go with some custom grips, I think I would stay away from the Rizoma just due to word of mouth.

Often wrong. Never in doubt.

Clearly. Thanks for putting your valuable contribution to a thread about grips in perspective  Kiss.

If you're able to bend your arms, thank "elbows" for that mobility  waytogo.

My Rizoma rear-sets came stock with CF heel guards.  As they ought for the price they charge.

I can't remember where I bought my rearsets (S4RS), but the came stock with the Tex heelguards and silver solid pegs. I had to buy the CF guards separate. The mirrors are the "Radial Sport" model, but they're too short, hence the "elbows."

Definitely going to ProGrips when I return to the US.

Yeah same here. Most likely I'd never even "upgrade" to different grips.

I had some Pro Grip grips on my old dirtbike. They were like a comfy sofa for your hands.
