Need opinion on best grips to buy
I ride a mix of MX and trails. Mostly trails but i'm looking to get into actually racing NEATV. Right now I have some replacement stock grips but the soft compound. I like the soft grips but they wear out fast. What do you guys think are the best for durability/comfort/grip?

I like Renthal full diamond soft compound. They are smooth and give you a really good grip. The only downside is they do wear out a little quicker. They cost $10 so its not that bad to have to replace them when they wear out.
I have tried a couple of other brands and different patterns but I really like these. The half waffle and full waffle patterns are uncomfortable to me.

I have ODI rouge, and they are great grips, soft, sticky, and they lock-on. You can get them in different colors, and custom etching done. The only downside of them are the high price.

I like the idea of locking grips. No more gooey shit and safety wire.
I might have to try some out later.

They're comfy and you don't have to glue them  Been really happy with the ODI Rouge grips.

I have a heck of a time keeping my grips from twisting when riding hard. ODI takes care of that issue.
