Forged 6061-T6 aluminum architecture defines the structural integrity of the BILTWELL Alumicore series. Unlike standard rubber-only grips, this system utilizes a precision-forged and CNC lathe-turned aluminum core that provides a rigid, lightweight foundation for the handlebar interface. The outer sleeve is constructed from high-performance Thermoplastic Velcanizate (TPZ) rubber, which is installed directly over the tube’s knurled surface to ensure maximum mechanical traction and consistent grip feel. This hybrid construction is specifically engineered for street riding disciplines, offering a universal fit for 1-inch and 7/8-inch handlebars while accommodating both standard cable and Throttle-By-Wire (TBW) configurations without the need for switch cubes.
Ergonomic comfort is achieved through a medium-texture TPZ surface and an integrated internal vibration isolator. The rubber sleeve is designed to absorb high-frequency road buzz and engine vibration, reducing hand fatigue during extended urban commuting or highway cruising. The medium texture provides a balanced tactile interface that remains secure in wet or dry conditions without becoming overly aggressive, ensuring natural hand placement and control. Available in a range of finishes including flat, chrome, and polished, the grips maintain a premium aesthetic while the internal isolator technology works to dampen harsh inputs, enhancing overall rider comfort and control precision.
Mechanical reliability is guaranteed by a forged internal gear interface that permanently integrates with the Throttle-By-Wire module. For TBW-equipped motorcycles, the gear interface is forged directly into the aluminum sleeve, eliminating the risk of plastic components breaking or disengaging from the electronic throttle system. This robust engineering tolerance ensures that the mechanical connection remains secure under all riding conditions, adhering to the highest standards of powersports control safety. The result is a durable, long-lasting control component that maintains precise throttle response and structural stability, backed by the standard manufacturer warranty for peace of mind on the road.
