My stockers shredded in to rides and, the new Gel Grips I bought must be hard as stone as the Blisters prove...

Anyone know of some soft grips that won't give you brutal blisters?? Where can we get them?

Not sure about the blisters as I always ride with gloves , but TAG makes bad azz grips and they even come in different compounds. I like these grips the best and they are specificly for ATV's.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I need some new grips too, I hate how the stock grips leave your hand all black, atleast mine do.

Depending on how long you ride when you go out and how long you have been riding the blisters may be normal. You gotta build up some callouses but 2 hour straight rides like you get in a cross country race can put the hurt on anyone. I've actually heard that soft grips cause more blisters than hard ones but that may be user preference... just that most guys I talk to at races don't use the soft grips and alot use glove liners inside their gloves... like wearing 2 pairs of gloves. Most likely the biggest reason for blisters is how you hold the grip and not the grip itself.

I wear gloves as well and I have callouse on both my hands, I would still like to get some other grips, mine are all worn out and are just hard. My Fox pawtector gloves do the job, but the grips are just not cutting it.

Renthal full waffle grips are the best I have ever tried. They sound like what Ridley is describing. They come in soft, meduim, or hard compounds. I use the soft, but they do wear out faster than others I have tried.

My buddy just put gel grips on for the ride last weekend. I been riding with him for more than 5 years and yesterday was the first time he ever complained about blisters after a ride.

I think maybe cause they move around (mushy) so much you grip harder..

My son had pro-grips on his KTM, everytime I push that thing around I notice how good the grips feel and they arent anything super special.
