Are these grips worth the extra money? Currently replacing grips every month or so due to crashes etc. Was thinking of giving these a try.

i use them and find them really good.
they always seem sticky even when wet.
but remember they are never prone to getting ripped when crashing.
if the ground is hard they still rip.
i have ripped my last 2 sets but they still are stronger than normal grips and they feel alot better.
get some off scott who has posted above.

I've just bought some cheap DRC ones for 10 bucks and they're sweet as......bought plenty of the flash ones and like Kezza said,as soon as they touch the ground the end gets ripped.....can buy 3 sets of DRC's for the same price...and they even have grooves for wire in them

mine last no more than 6 months. same with gloves.

you wear them out by hanging on to the bike while riding aggressively
