Our unique pattern combines elements of a ribbed grip with a waffle pattern to create a comfortable grip that still offers feedback and control. We also experimented with the plastic inner core, adding and subtracting the amount of glass fibre in the Polypropylene to adjust the amount of flex in the grip. The grip has a small amount of intentional flex along its length, creating a little bit of float which helps to dull out harsh vibrations while still maintaining a feeling of control.

We spent around a year developing the Cosmic Cactus grips and utilized 3D printing heavily through the prototyping phase. We developed a method of making 3D printed moulds to injection mould 2 part polyurethane test grips. And when we say injection, we mean it, we literally used a syringe!
