PROTO has released "IOMIC iX-MC Grip," a new material motorcycle grip that utilizes golf grip technology. IOMIC, a world-renowned golf equipment manufacturer, and PROTO, which specializes in motorcycle and car accessories, have jointly developed a motorcycle grip that is comfortable to hold and durable. The new grips provide riders with unprecedented comfort and performance.

The technology that brought innovation to the golf industry is now available for motorcycles.

IOMIC golf grips have been used by many top professionals for their reliable gripping power and abundant designs. The collaboration of IOMIC's technology, which has revolutionized the golf industry by focusing on grip twist (torque) at the time of a shot and realizing a stable trajectory by suppressing it, the potential of the new material "IOMAX," and over 40 years of PROTO's know-how, has resulted in the creation of a highly maneuverable motorcycle grip. The result is a motorcycle grip with high maneuverability.

Features of the new material IOMAX

Overview of IOMAX and other new materials

IOMIC's motorcycle grips feature IOMAX, a proprietary elastomer material with a proven track record in golf grips. It is a soft polymer resin material with elasticity that does not change its feel even at temperatures as low as -20℃, and also has high shock-absorbing properties. It is also 100% water-proof and chemical resistant, resists rain and sweat, and can be washed in water to keep it clean at all times. In golf grips, IOMIC has proven through testing that grip twist (torque) greatly affects trajectory stability, and IOMAX makes it possible to minimize this torque to the greatest extent possible, supporting a stable swing. This torsion suppression technology also contributes to stable riding by directly transmitting the rider's operation to the vehicle body when operating a motorcycle.

The secret behind the thin, absorbent grip

The design pattern of IOMIC's representative model "X-Grip series" is also followed in the motorcycle grips. The surface pattern is modestly uneven, and the sand wraps (unevenness about the size of a grain of sand) placed in the X-pattern make it easy to fit in the hand.

IOMIC's grips provide a moist fit that seems to absorb into the palm of the hand due to their material characteristics. The grips provide a high level of grip without having to be tightly squeezed, which reduces hand fatigue during long rides and allows for delicate gas pedal and brake operations. This "thin and absorbent grip" is the result of optimizing the Golf Grip technology for motorcycles. The throttle side is shaped to fit a wide range of vehicle models, and the overall length is 118mm so that the high grip of the IOMAX does not spoil the delicate throttle work.

Resistant to bad weather and long-term use

The IOMAX material is 100% water proof, so there is no need to worry about loss of grip due to rain or perspiration. It also has excellent weather resistance, so there is little deterioration caused by ultraviolet rays, etc., and its performance can be maintained over a long period of time. The material can be washed with a mild detergent, and even if it gets dirty, it is easy to restore the original grip.

Attractive design and color variations

Available in 10 colors: 2 grip colors x 5 logo colors.

IOMIC grips are not only functional but also well designed. The rich color variation developed for golf grips is also available for motorcycle grips, which can be customized to suit various vehicle models and riders' preferences. The vivid colors also contribute to dressing up your car and highlighting its individuality. The design is based on the pattern of IOMIC's representative model "X-Grip series" for motorcycle grips, but the surface pattern is less uneven, and the sand wraps (unevenness about the size of grains of sand) placed in the X pattern are more comfortable to the rider's hand.
