ODI Pro Compound white and Renthal Kevlar are my favorite.

Scott half waffle...the Renthal kevlar's are nice too, but damn they tear so easy.

Renthal full diamond, medium compound, seems like they're popular, the firm compound lasts longer but they're like grabbing on to a cheese grater.

Hand strength isn't what it used to be ... Tag Rebound for me. Like little asian ladies massaging my hands every lap. Cool

Spyder SLX Slim for me. They don't last as long as some of the others but their price and rider support program is stellar, the people are great and if your glove size is medium or smaller, they're freaking awesome. I do 45 minute GPs at Glen Helen every month and for work i'm on a computer 12 hours a day and yes...i actually do the dishes a lot at home so my hands are soft as butter. No blister issues with the Spyder Grips.

A close second is the Pro Taper Kevlar, but the price is steep.
I am running the Kevlar's on my mountain bike, love them on that. Over 150 miles and looks like they're still brand new; i ride with gloves on my mtn. bike.

My $0.02

What brand is it, and whats the diameter of them if you measure on the outside, or compared to Renthal Kevlar grips?

Pro Taper Racers Cut.

Super soft compound lasts maybe 2-3 races before they fall apart, i get them for 4 bucks and buy them 10 at a time.

Tag Rebound. Really grippy so you can focus on keeping your hands loose over the roughest sections if you have issues with gripping to tight. You really have to open your hand for the regrip though.
Love them.

One of my favorites are the idiots who hurry up and pull out in front of you, only to hit the brakes to make a left hand turn.

Oh, you said grips, I thought you said gripes.Laughing

Renthal Diamond/ Waffle Firm with the Waffle sanded down a bit.

Always prefered a harder compound, hand moves around " less. " on the grip.

Based on the populous vote here.... I just ordered some ODI Emig bolt ons and Rental medium full diamonds. Figure I will be happy with at least one. Gonna try the ODI's first.

Thanks for everyone's input even though I'm not the OP.

Full diamond feels the best but if you get muddy the waffle is a life saver.

Me too, with a donut on the clutch side. Ive tried other grips over the years, but keep going back to these. I guess the circumference must suit my hand.

Used to love Renthal half waffle kevalars but a buddy told me to try Pro Taper pillow top lites and not only do they last longer but they opened my hands up on the bars a little bit and seemed to have stopped me getting arm pump of course its probably all psychological...
