Handlebars can transfer unwanted discomfort or instability from the road to the driver.. Since the handlebars engage directly with the wheels of the Ryker, many of the disturbances on the road end up transferring up into the driver's hands and arms. Engine vibrations, potholes, rough terrain and time spent on the road all play into this exchange. This can all lead to exhaustion and discomfort, especially on long rides, as well as decreased control over throttle and steering. The fastest way to combat these difficulties is simply to change the Ryker's grips to something new that is designed especially for improving all of these conditions by adding grip size, padding and comfort to the handlebars.
