3D-Printed Bike Grips

The Formy Bike Grips Allow For Customizable Handlebar Comfort

— October 3, 2016 — Autos
The Formy Bike Grips are innovative 3D-printed handlebar grips, devised by mechanical engineer Sky Van Iderstine, that make use of the latest and greatest 3D technologies to make it easier than ever for cyclists to enjoy a handlebar gripping experience that is perfectly customized for their optimal comfort.

To get your hands on one of these bike grips, all you have to do is measure the length of your middle finger and the width of your hand and upload those figures to Formy, which then creates a computer model of your hand before using that data to create your personalized bike grip in your choice of color. The grips are made of a special material that combines solidity and gentle comfort.

Ultimately, these customizable bike grips promise an unprecedented degree of comfort that will stand you in good stead during long bike rides.
