Hand Controls for Kawasaki Ridge
The Control You Need
Sure Grip has always given its users great control of their vehicles. UTV Parts and Accessories.com and Sure Grip have hand controls designed specifically for smaller off-road and UTV vehicles. Unlike other hand controls, Sure Grip’s control handle is in the vertical position, which gives precision control and the ability to drive with both hands on the wheel.
The advantages of Push/Rock style hand controls is being able to keep both hands on the wheel, excellent pedal feel, and ability to gas and brake at the same time, make them the ideal hand control for off road and leisure driving.
With two hands on the wheel, drivers have the control needed when headed off the beaten path. Vehicles can be driving normally when the hand controls are not needed.
To make your riding experience as safe and comfortable as possible, check out our selection of Harnesses and Hand Holds.
Please Note: Competent mechanical skills are required to install hand controls on your UTV. Some modifications may be required to your UTV to facilitate the installation of the hand controls.
How Push/Rock Hand Controls Work
Push forward to brake — rock back to accelerate. The rocking motion gives you full-range braking and acceleration with minimal hand travel, and the transition from gas to brake is smooth and immediate. Sure Grip designed this to be the easiest gas operation in the industry, so your forearm doesn't wear out on long rides.

Anyone Can Still Drive Your Machine
The kit does not remove or block your machine's pedals — the foot pedals stay fully functional at all times, so family and friends can hop in and drive with the pedals like normal.
