The Pillow Top Lite knob features the same compound as the ProTaper Pillow Top knobs, known for optimal grip and high vibration reduction, but features a small outer diameter. The Vibrasonix® Pillow Top compound drastically reduces vibrations and impact shocks. The external compound with a gel-like surface maximizes grip while the internal compound allows for an optimal feeling with the handlebar. The reinforcement on the outer end is manufactured with a high hardness compound to extend its longevity. The ProTaper Pillow Top Lite knobs are also designed to facilitate self-cleaning and allow you to keep the mud away from the external surface.
