T-handle now available! The best handle for Airstyle

In cooperation with Leo Customs we offer the best quality handle on the market.
Hand made from an expert in metal works!

Preorder now (shipping end of August)!

- Normed width, height and sizes, optimized for Airstyle tricks – for all foot and hand sizes
- Perfect handling (Precision or Comfort)
- Best stability and quality of the handles due to 8mm alloy
- Very light weight of the T-Handles due to alloy/EPDM combination
- Perfect look with matte or chrome finish with black EPDM grip

During the development phase we tested about two dozens of prototypes for the best handling and grip possible.
The production of one T-Handle takes now just about one hour, due to optimized production processes.
The edges are rounded for a smoother handling, the holes drilled at exactly 20 cm distance and then the alloy surface is treated with the respective surface finishing.

The alloy is then heat-formed in special moulds.
To apply the grip, the alloy is covered with an ultra-thin layer of ice, which evaporates before it is glued.

The EPDM grip is very UV and corrosion resistant, it is rounded off and sealed at the ends.
Epoxy-based glue is applied into the grip via a special process and evenly distributed.

The Airstyle T-Handle is available in 4 variations:

- Precision Edition (thinner grip 3,5 mm – harder but extremely precise)
- Comfort Edition (thicker grip 5 mm – softer, but less precise)

Both editions are available in two finishing’s:

- Mat Standard Finish (mat alloy)
- Chrome Premium Finish (polished alloy in chrome look)

The shipment includes 2x 16mm stainless steel Phillips M6 screws.

- Height: 9 cm
- Width: 16cm (handle), 24 cm (handle including attachment)

Awesome they are online now!

I am using my Leocustoms T-Handles in Djerba at the moment, have been using them at Garda earlier.

Dont tell anyone, but I even put one on my Flydoor L... works like a charm.

From the optical side the Chrome looks WOW but also the Matte looks hot. Depends on taste!

Hope you will be able to do a video review on the T-Handle soon!

Look awesome guys well done. When's the rail grips coming??

Looks good, but why is it called a "T-handle" when it looks like a "U-handle"?

Maybe, it is the T(oby)-Handle?

Aluminium to stainless in a salt water environment is a very very very bad idea. Particularly if you then add heat. IE put your wet salty board in a very hot car. You will get corrosion. If not instantly over time.

Insulate the aluminium and you will be fine.

Grabrails will take a few more month.

Alloy with stainless steel corrosion is neglectable. If you are worried, just use a coated washer.

78€?? Give me ten!!

Aluminum and stainless steel isn't too bad. They both form inert layers on the surface (which is why they don't corrode in general). So even though they have galvanic potential, they mostly insulate themselves.

T-Handle comes from the original T-Handle trick, where my foot is in the handle and I stretch out, so my body looks like a T.
But you can also say Toby Handle if you prefer
