Product Information

Full details

The Apico Trial Performance Oversize Handlebar Replacement Pad is for trial bike riders seeking to replace their original handlebar pad with a durable, high-quality option that offers a factory team aesthetic. Its key benefit is enhanced rider safety through impact absorption and easy installation. A potential caveat is its universal fitment, which may require minor adjustments on some specific bike models. This pad is designed as a direct OEM replacement, featuring injection-moulded, high-density closed-cell foam for impact minimization, a flat bottom to prevent rotation, and a water-repellent, power-washer safe outer cover with integrated Apico logos for a professional look.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this a complete handlebar replacement, or just the pad?

This product is a replacement pad only. It does not include the handlebar itself.

What type of foam is used in the pad?

The pad uses injection-moulded, lightweight, high-density closed-cell foam for optimal impact absorption.

How is the pad secured to the handlebar?

The pad features a secure Velcro fastening system for easy installation and removal.

Can I use a power washer to clean the pad?

Yes, the outer cover is power-washer safe, but it is recommended to use a low-pressure setting.

Will this pad fit any trial bike?

It is designed for a universal fit on most trial bikes, intended as a direct replacement for OEM pads.

What are the dimensions of the pad?

Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to be an oversize replacement pad suitable for standard trial bike handlebar crossbars.

How do I ensure the flat bottom design works effectively?

The flat bottom is designed to rest against the handlebar crossbar to prevent rotation. Ensure it is positioned correctly and the Velcro is tightened for maximum stability.

Troubleshooting

Pad does not fit snugly

Ensure the Velcro straps are fully engaged and tightened. If the pad is still loose, check if your handlebar crossbar dimensions are within the expected range for a universal fit.

Pad spins on the handlebar

Verify that the flat bottom of the pad is making full contact with the handlebar crossbar. Ensure the Velcro fastening is secure.

Logos or graphics fading

While designed for durability, excessive exposure to harsh sunlight or aggressive cleaning chemicals can affect graphics. Clean with mild soap and water, and store out of direct sunlight when possible.

Difficulty removing Velcro

If Velcro becomes clogged with dirt, clean it with a stiff brush. If it feels stiff, a brief exposure to warm air can sometimes help soften it.
