- In todays vid I’m trying out the “ice cream cone” grip that Ryan from Fortnine was recently talked about. I also have some tips about making this grip a little easier to get used to doing when you ride. Hope you enjoy!

That technique is probably why clip ons exist on sport bikes. Seeing you do it on an upright kind of makes that point clear I think? Pog glad it’s working a bit
I would use that grip taking corners but never thought to have that grip at all times. You've inspired me, I'ma try it out
that grip is used on track to keep the gas under control and have a beeter feeling on the progressive acceleration when turning on the right side, never saw or heard anyone using it while riding normally
Yeah honestly I’m seeing a lot of feedback for it being good in corners and for throttle control only, it’s kinda difficult to stay like that all the time lol
Use it on twisties and faster riding and I notice a difference, especially in keeping the throttle consistent in corners. City traffic and filtering (Lane Splitting), monkey grip all the way or there's a high probability of my wrist exploding.
Haha 😂 I get that completely
I've tried it but I've found that for regular everyday riding the monkey bar grip is more comfortable, and as you said, gives easier access to the levers, which are critical in heavy traffic. I've found that the best for me is the monkey bar grip, and switching my throttle hand to the ice cream cone grip when I apply heavy throttle.
you arent meant to to it all the time, just while cornering right, which is when the monkey grip becomes awkward
@@loz4830 Exactly, that's what I got from Ryan. Tight turns only as you're leaning close to the road.
Makes sense thanks
Definitely trying the switching back and forth next time I ride, thanks for the feedback! Monkey grip will be much more comfortable in traffic and cruising
I tried it over the weekend. On throttle hand, it does feel better and handling also seems to be easy.
Right? Feels so much better
Thanks. I'm going to try it with my e-bike😆
After watching Fortnine video, I wasn't planning to try it out, but then I noticed that I came to the Ice cream grip naturally, over the years and many miles of riding.
Nice, yeah it seems like others have done that too
Great video, was wondering what other people thought of it
Thanks man!
I have been trying with my bmw f750gs. It certainly feels like learning all over again! Please keep us informed ! Just want an update about the technic a few weeks from now!
I definitely will! And yeah it’s so weird to feel brand new at riding in a way like that
The Adventure riding has a different grip style, with only one finger on the front brake and 2 to 3 on the clutch lever.
Haha I have been trying it out too
I knew I couldn’t be the only one! Lol I actually really like it
tried this grip, but after 2 or 3 rides it turns into a habit and now i can't ride without it
I actually spot this way back.... Max wrist might not be a good role model but when you see how he rides he's definitely a veteran track rider. If you pay close attention he has his hands wide on the bar and the ice cream grip. I put that into practice on my zxr400 and the bike just transformed into instant feedback and felt so much more responsive... It's now second nature. Odd at first... But has so much benefits
I know! It’s crazy how much more feedback you get from this, I’m so happy I tried it out. Honestly I’ve never watched maxwrist because so many ppl hate on him but maybe I should try him out a little
@@troyhill1924 I'd say he's worth watching with his gestures and body placing, .. like it or not he is fast but yea dude I agree..... He is no role model to follow... Absolute disregard for other people but... He does wear gear 😂🤷🏻♂️
Also from Ryan in that same video:
like you're taking a piss standing, supporting your aim..
Nearly missed that reference 🤣
Dude I missed that one 🤣 he has the best quips like that
I've realised that I've always intuitively shifted between the ice cream and monkey bar grip, but only realised the difference since Ryan came out with that video. 😅
I’m so glad he came out with that vid cuz now I can switch between them like you do, never even heard of it before that
@@troyhill1924 Seems you have bedded in with this grip finally. :)
@@yoroptics yep! Really liking it now
I have tried after watching too, its feels weird. Trying to get used to it.
Same! A lot of guys are saying just to use the ice cream grip when riding sporty/twisties but to use monkey grip otherwise and I’m hoping that’ll make things more comfy
4 days in.. still not used to it
Haha it’s really like being new to riding, super weird to get used to
@@troyhill1924 i see it only being beneficial for long stretches of roads with good corners and no traffic.. it’s really inconvenient for commute
@@finesser650 agree completely
Honestly thinking about that grip scares me. Don't wanna die trying that on Indian Roads where brakes matter most.
I could totally see that, a lot of guys are saying just to use ice cream grip in the twisties or while riding sporty but that monkey grip is good while in traffic so maybe that helps ya
@@troyhill1924 Hey mate. Just wanna say i tried the cone grip on a less traffic highway. It feels funny and awkward at first. You don't get the idea of throttle response for 2 minutes but gets adjusted. And it was fun.
@@ANTIMANNER_GAMING glad you had fun with it man! It really is super weird at first but I’m happy you’ve seen how much it can help with the throttle response 👍
Monkey grip when doodling around, but ice cream all the way when the going gets sporty
Funnily enough i did this naturally before i even watched F9s video. Just makes mid corner throttle control more predictable
I agree completely, makes a big difference with throttle control for sure
