Hello,

As the subject reads my grips are shot and there are about million different types out there. Wondering if anyone might have an opinion on a style they really liked. This is for an 01 Blaster if that matters. Also what is a good way to take the olds ones off and get the new ones to really stick good. Would just cut the old off? One last opinionated question is what is a good brand of gloves to buy. Sorry for all the minor stupid questions but would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks in advance for your time.

I like the OURY Grips. They are big soft rubber blocks. I've had them on all of my quads.

Here is a link to their site.

I use the "ATV Grips" obviously. Did I mention that they last forever too!!!

OURY GRIPS

 

When I bought new bars I bought a set of FMF 909 grips for my raptor. They had a little almost gel section where if you aggusted it right it was right on your palms. mmmmmmmmm

 

I have a set of Spider grips and I like them alot.

Best gloves I have used so far has been mechanics gloves. If you want some water proof gloves the ARC Back Country gloves are good and water proof but not sure how duarable they are ive only rode with them once. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I've had good luck with Pro-Taper. I use their full waffle, meduim density grips. I like Fox gloves. I've been using their Dirt Paw and Holeshot gloves.

 

I agree, the 909 grips are nice and soft..... but they don't last a really long time. The ends tend to soft of separate and break off.. but they are cheap and will last a decent amount of time.

I also like Pro Grip, they make some nice sets that give good wear and comfort......

Really it does not matter, because no set I've had lasts very long anyway. I go through a set every season......

 

As far as gloves go, any of the major brands are good..... again they don't last me very long no matter what pair I buy....

I like Thor, Fly and Shift the best..... Fox are decent enough (though not as good as their rep) and so are MSR...

 

If you buy the Oury ATV grips, they will easily last for over 3 years of riding. Not just once a month riding or every other weekend. I'm talking 3-4 times a week of riding for over 3 years. They are the best. The ones with gel don't last because the gel never stays attached to the grip (it's two pieces). The waffle ones don't last because there is only like 1/8" or less of rubber attaching the waffle to the grip. The "inverse waffle" design of the oury grips really enables them to hold up much longer.

Gloves are Gloves if you ask me. I've found that a pair of Mechanix Wear gloves work just as well as any of the riding gloves. I even use an old pair of riding gloves as my Mechanix gloves instead.

 

I use answer gloves cause i can buy them for like $9 can. and they seem to last just as long as the more expensive ones

 

Spider grips. Mechanics gloves are comfortable and last a long time.
