“The Next Evolution In Handlebar Grips”
What is the Handlebar Customization System (HCS)?
The HCS customizes conventional 15/16″ or 7/8″ road bike bars. If you like the features found on more expensive ergonomic carbon bars, but are not ready to spend the hundreds of dollars for a set, the HCS will convert a conventional (inexpensive) 15/16″ or 7/8″ bar into one with custom grip placement.
Upon installation grip placement can be rotated, moved up or down, in or out for the customization you desire. Grips are installed under bar tape with aircraft quality double sided adhesive and feature a channel for brake and shifter cables. Installation is easy and no need to remove brake or shifter cables.
Our products work well with a number of stretchable bar tapes, but we also offer our own brand (GripTech+) that features a non slip, grippy surface comparable to tapes costing upwards of $40. GripTech+ is currently available in black and red and can be purchased by itself for $18.95 or save when ordered with any grip set.
No Need To Remove Brake or Shifter Cables for Installation and no Messy Glues!

SMG (Shape My Grip) grips are made from a custom blend of materials to offer a reduction in road vibration, with and ergonomic grip for safety. SMG products help to create an ergonomic grip on your Road Bike, Cyclocross or Gravel Grinder bike type bars? As cyclist we are always looking for comfort and safety while riding, SMG products offer these benefits.
*After many months of development and numerous prototype designs, two initial products emerged, BARTOP and CURVE.
The BARTOP grip creates a flat spot on the top of the bar where your hands sit most of the time, while riding in the upright position. Upon installation, the BARTOP can be positioned to your liking for a custom feel. Designed in finger impressions, add to a more secure grip feel with reduced road vibration to help hand numbness.
The CURVE grip creates a custom feel with finger impressions, while in the part of the bar called the drops. Like the BARTOP, the CURVE can be adjusted upon installation to your liking. The CURVE also features the same vibration reducing material as the BARTOP.
The BARTOP and CURVE are designed to fit most standard 15/16″ – 7/8″ size round handlebars and installs under bar tape. The BARTOP design features a cable channel for placement of brake and shifter cables. New bar tape is recommended upon installation.
Whether riding with your hands on the bar top or in the drops, the HCS enhances the ride!
What bar tapes can I use? SMG products can be wrapped with a number of stretchable bar tapes. We offer our own product (GripTech+) which features a non slip (in all conditions) surface, Grippy feel found in more expensive brands and stretchable for easy installation.
We hope you find our products unique and beneficial!
