What is the recommended hand position on the motorcycle grips?

Holding the handgrips firmly with your right wrist flat is the recommended hand position because it promotes better control and stability while operating the motorcycle. A firm grip allows the rider to maintain better feedback from the handlebars, enabling quicker and more precise inputs during turns, maneuvers, and while maintaining throttle control. Keeping the right wrist flat is crucial for ensuring smooth acceleration and braking, which is essential for safe riding.

Furthermore, gripping the handlebars properly aids in reducing fatigue; a firm grip distributes the force evenly across your hands and arms, preventing strain that can occur with improper wrist positioning. This posture also enhances reaction times in emergency situations, improving your overall safety on the road.
