RenthalG149 Black Full Diamond Firm Compound Sportbike Grip

Super easy to install and provides exceptional grip. My throttle feels 100 times more responsive and grippy than the fat stock OEM grips with these firm compound grips. Saw lots of complaints about vibrations with the firm, but havent had any issues so far.

I wanted some stock looking grips to replace the worn and dirty grips that were on a 2006 DL1000 V-Strom I picked up. These fit the bill. They are long enough to fill the space and have the slim profile I wanted. The throttle side diameter was a bit undersize for the Suzuki twist throttle, so installing it took a bit of wrestling. It also looks a little lumpy because of the ridges molded into the suzuki part. But they are a big improvement and I like the feel. If the lumpiness bothers me, I'll sand the ridges off the twist throttle. It is not the fault of the grips - I only mention it because it might be a factor for others to consider.

Very durable, good looking, best feel, maximum grip, and value for your money!Fit my street bike perfect while also providing the grip and feel I want; vibration is not an issue.

I've used both the firm and medium compound in the Renthal grips (on my 2005 Yamaha R1). I really like the more narrow size (as compared to stock). The stock grips are 32mm and these are 29mm. The smaller diameter gives you a more in-touch feeling with the bike.Be warned, however, the firm compound is almost like having no grip whatsoever. It might be okay for a track day, but on the street, it quickly becomes annoying. I mean, it's not the end of the world, but it does transmit quite a bit of the vibration through the clip-ons. I ended up switching to the medium compound and I'm much happier with that.I've also tried the driven gel grips and also the pro grips. The driven are very nice, but are the same diameter was stock. The pro grips are a complete waste of time and money. I made a YouTube video review here if you want to see more:[...]But the Renthal grips are very, very nice. I would recommend the medium compound, although I haven't tried the soft myself.

I bought these grips for my 2012 Ninja 650. I saw many people online saying Renthal is an excellent brand for motorcycle grips, and I can confirm this is the case. I am giving these grips 4 stars because I don't like how thin they feel. The build quality and feel are top notch, but I think I was expecting them to be a little thicker. With that said, they give great feel and I think they would work well for someone who values good feel through their grips and wants a sporty riding experience. For me, these things are important but I also want a grip that has a bit more comfort and isn't as thin. This is a great product, just not what I was looking for and I'll pass them along to a buddy.

I run these grips on my 2005 Buell XB12S and I just think they are by far the best grips I have ever used. I have and I have had a lot of motorcycles and for all my performance motorcycles these have become my favorite grip. These grips are Comfortable, simple low profile style and most importantly super grippie (If that were a word)

I used to race motocross back in my teenage years. I can still remember all of the brands I ran exclusively and Renthal was one of them. I recently purchased these grips for my Yamaha FZ1 and have been loving them. They have an amazing tacky feel to them. I like them with and without gloves. I used to have black grips and bought the dark grey Renthal grips to see how it would look and it really adds a great 3rd tone. Putting them on was extremely easy. An air compressor can blow the old ones off. Cheap hairspray easily puts the new ones on. I think this upcoming riding season I am going to try out the half waffle grips for S&G's. Overall, great product, great price, 5 stars

The amount of times my buddies would feel these grips on my CBR and moan from how they felt.. I can’t blame them, they feel amazing and grip super well. Not to mention that they last a very long time from getting worn down. Renthal never disappoints with their stuff. Definitely recommend.
