    What are the best MX grips?

    Im looking to replace my pro taper soft waffle grips and just wondering what grips people currently think are the best on the market. I have heard good things about the new pro taper pillowtop dual density for grip feel/shock dampening and wear ive also had the renthal dual density kevlar suggested(ive had these before and they did wear well)
    I live my life a quarter mile at a time for those 10 secs ....LOL

    I think its all personal preference..........I run pro taper meduim half waffer as i like to feel the bike and dont want to much dampining
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses

    as above, its what you prefer, i run Renthal Kevler grips, they last very well and do not rip the ends, we have sold a lot fo the tag rebound grip in both the full and the low pro, people seem to like them

    My fav grips are the $15 DRC ones, I hated the renthel waffle ones I had - they just disentergrated. The hard cheap plastic of the drc ones is great for always having a reliable grip

    I don't really mind as I'm always just hanging on, in shear panic!!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
