Polyurethane Thermoplastic, that's a bit of a mouth full. Basically It's a perfect copolymer foam that is often used to make shoes. Its strong, yet soft and great at absorbing impacts
Designing a handlebar pad that maximizes cushioning through a honeycomb structure involves a classic stiffness-vs-compliance formula. The honeycomb must be ridged enough to maintain shape under grip loads, yet soft enough to absorb road vibrations and impact energy efficiently.

The pads are simple, and they're one size fits "mostly all". It does take a little bit of skill to install them and have the finished product look pro. Recognizing that most bicycle repair requires a special skill set it may be a good idea to have a professional mechanic install them. When the pads are installed they go underneath your normal bar wrap, so you can keep your favorite style and tactile preference. Also, one of the things that makes Bar Kush pads stand out in the market is that one of the sets of padding slips under the rubber of your brake hoods. This is done so that the place you put your hand most (on top of the brake lever) has comfortable shock absorbing properties. I myself have had hand issues, this is from years of wrenching, and it has made my ride much more enjoyable. along with many of my already happy customers :)

One of the biggest benefits that I have noticed while riding with Bar Kush isn't the fact that my fingers don't tingle. I feel a more important feature is that It helps absorb those big unexpected bumps that catch you off guard. We've all been riding along paying a little more attention to the beautiful scenery and slightly less attention to the more important road we're traveling down. Then an unexpected pot hole jolts your hands around.... Well, these pads make those surprise moments much more manageable. The foam helps absorb the sudden jolt and this helps you maintain control of your vehicle and keeps you off of the road. A Safer ride is a better ride. Even the smallest of accidents can ruin what would normally be an amazing day. Ride safe out there!
