Scott Grips


SCOTT HURRICANE GRIPS

Scott Hurricane grips are made of a Kraton rubber compound, that has a crisp tactile feel. Your hand grip feels firm, and solid. The inner end has a small flange, with a groove for wire application just behind it, so you can twist a piece of wire around the grip to make sure it doesn't rotate or slide off the bar unexpectedly. The palm area is made of raised rectangular ridges with depressions for your hand to grip and mold into. At the center is a separate reinforced groove for wire application. The outer end is flanged so without looking you will know when your hand is securely around the grip. Hurricane grips are made in Blue, Black, or Red. They weigh 87 grams a pair, have a durometer hardness of A/49, and are 4.5 inches long. Made in USA. $ Price in Catalog

SCOTT AT4 GRIPS

Scott AT4 grips are made of Kraton rubber. Their styling is a little different than other grips. The palm side of the grip, is round in shape and thicker than the front so down hill road shocks are absorbed by the palm easily. The front (finger side) of the grip is fashioned as half of hexagon, so there are three flat surfaces that are thin against the roundness of the handlebar. The Hex design fits a curved finger perfectly and the thin walls on the front of grip permit the road "feel" you need to do interpretive steering. The outer end is open, with no flange or flaring. AT4 grips come with soft Black plastic end caps that slide between the grip and the handlebar. Made in Blue, Black, Grey, or Red. They weigh 87 1/2 grams per pair, with end caps, have a durometer hardness of A/45, and are 5.0 inches long. Made in USA. $ Price in Catalog

SCOTT AT-PRO GRIPS

The AT-Pro grips are made of molded Kraton rubber. The palm side of the grip molded in a round shape with fine ribs, and the finger side of the grip fashioned as a half hexagon, smooth on two surfaces, ribbed on the front surface. The AT-Pro grips come with hard Black plastic end caps that press into the end of your handlebar. Made in Blue, Black, Clear, Grey, or Red. They weigh 91 grams per pair, with end caps, have a durometer hardness of A/49, and are 4.9 inches long. Made in USA. $ Price in Catalog

SCOTT AT-LF GRIPS

The AT-LF is Scott's closed cell neoprene foam grip. This allow a lighter weight grip with some real padding substance. The AT-LF is made in the same shape as the AP-Pro, round, in essence, with two horizontal strips of reduced thickness, on the lower half, making it a hex shaped bottom. The top half is left in the round shape. The upper half, where the grip has the full material thickness is 7mm (.27") thick. The thickness of the thinner horizontal strips is 5mm. The "Scott" name is lightly seared into the side of the grip on the outer end of the thinner strips. The final 10mm at the outer grip end reduce in diameter, and 10mm from the inner end is a 12mm wide depression. The grip is 5" long, open at both ends, and have a durometric hardness of A/25 (Black). They are available in Black or Grey with a grip pair weight of 32 grams. Also included are two of the plastic Rodon end plugs discussed in the Handlebar Extension overview. These Black press-in plugs have an added pair weight of 5 1/2 grams. At the moment, because these are newly introduced, these are fairly pricey for what they are. $ Price in Catalog

In-depth Information About Metals

Aluminum
Aluminum is extracted electrolytically from bauxite ore. It is made by the electrolysis of aluminum oxide which is found in larger concentrations within bauxite ore. Bauxite is a mixture of the hydroxides of aluminum, together with other impurities such as oxides of iron, titanium, and silicon. Bauxite is produced by the weathering and change of aluminum silicate rocks usually found in tropical and semitropical regions where climate has produced an accelerated weathering process. Bauxite is not a rare ore and is widely available in the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. Approximately 4 pounds of read the full article...

Beryllium
Beryllium is a specialty metal that is steel-grey metal in color, with an extremely low density, making it very light weight. At 1.85 grams to the cubic centimeter, its density compares to that of magnesium. It is also a high strength metal, making it possible to design light weight, thin membered parts with ahigh stiffness. A column made of beryllium to support a load placed directly downward on top of it, will have a greater load carrying capacity, and be lower in weight than any other metal of equal size.

Until the 1950's beryllium was used read the full article...

Titanium
The element titanium was discovered in 1763 by an English cleric, William Gregor who was an amateur chemist with an inquiring mind. It was in the black sands of Cornwall that he discovered the new element that had up to that time, attracted little scientific interest. A few years later, an Austrian, Klaproth, extracted the same element from an ore widely known as "rutile", which is a mineral consisting of titanium dioxide (one titanium atom, two oxygen atoms), that is a reddish-brown substance with a slight metallic luster. While rutile is the highest grade read the full article...

Metallurgic Hardness Testing
There are three types of tests used with accuracy by the metals industry,they are the Brinell hardness test, the Rockwell hardness test, and the Vickers hardness test. Hardness is the property of a metal which gives it the ability to resist being permanently deformed (bent, broken, or have its shape changed), when a load is applied. The greater the hardness of the metal, the greater resistance it has to deformation. Since the definitions of metallurgic ultimate strength and hardness are rather similar, it can generally be assumed read the full article...
