Clip-ons & Throttle
Clip-ons set your wrist angle and drop; a quick-turn throttle shortens the twist to wide open. Grips and bar ends finish the cockpit.
The decision
Woodcraft and Vortex split the clip-on market — a serviceable three-piece design versus a few dollars cheaper. Add rise for street comfort, add drop for track tuck. The Domino XM2 quick-turn throttle is the default race upgrade and ships with proper race grips.
