Renthal G148 Gray Full Diamond Medium Compound Sportbike Grip for Enhanced Performance and Control Review

I bought these grips to replace the original grips on my bike when I was installing a Clubman handlebar on my 83 kz550. The medium composition creates a feeling of comfort and stickiness. I had no problem installing them on the handlebars after putting them in boiling water for a minute or two. Definitely the best "premium" grip offering. Excellent price.

I bought these to replace the stock grips on my Ducati 848. The first thing that struck me about them was the diamonds. They are extremely grippy, the medium compound isn't much softer than the standard compound and is about the same thickness but feels a little softer and offers much better grip. You will love these pens trust me.

Pros: Very sticky, tight fit, absorbs vibrations well Cons: I wish they came in black. They don't last long if you drive every day. They lasted me 6 months in warm weather, just outdoors, and I'm not very aggressive. Overall I would buy them again and again as they offer good quality at a great price. This is probably my fifth purchase and I will be buying more.

I used to race motocross as a teenager. I still remember all the brands that I managed exclusively and Renthal was one of them. I recently purchased these knobs for my Yamaha FZ1 and absolutely love them. They have amazing stickiness. I like it with and without gloves. I used to have black pencils and bought renthal dark gray pencils to see how they would look and they really add a great third tone. Getting dressed was extremely easy. The air compressor can blow off the old ones. Cheap…

Not for those who like thick and thick grips. For those who like a subtle grip with great feel and stickiness these are some of the best and very popular with riders. Please note that there are three versions with different hardness. Light gray is the softest and stickiest, gray is medium soft, and black is the hardest, with a hardness similar to most OEM grips. Also, the harder the clutch, the longer it will last, but will dampen vibration the least. I seem to be getting pretty good mileage…

I've used both hard and medium compounds in Renthal grips (on my 2005 Yamaha R1). I like the slimmer size (compared to standard). Standard grips are 32mm, but these are 29mm. The smaller diameter gives you the feeling of more contact with the bike. However, be careful, the solid composition has almost no adhesion. It might be fine for a trackday, but it quickly becomes annoying on the road. I mean, it's not the end of the world, but it transmits quite a bit of vibration through the clip-ons. In
