So I have recently purchased an aluminum throttle tube that uses sealed bearings. I love the smooth action of the bearings and the durability factor. Something I didn't factor in, was what kind of grips to use. I was using Emig 2 lock-on grips. Obviously the lock-on grips come with their own throttle tube.

Any good solutions to this situation? Looks like they don't make the Emig grip in a non-lock on configuration. I can't be the only one dealing with this issue, and I am surprised that it is pretty hard to find grips that come in both lock-on and non lock-on configuration, so you can continue to use your favorite grips.

Any recommendations?

I prefer the renthal or pro taper full diamond pattern.

I had the several sets of emig v2’s and I think it’s a good product I just prefer a little smaller grip I think and the added cushion is nice.

MY go to grip has been Renthal Medium Half Waffle. All around solid grip. Some of the dual compound Renthals are decent also but always seem to come back...

My go to is the Renthal Kevlar, but grips are just one of those personal things that no one will ever agree on.

Protaper 1/3 waffle. Nice thin feeling with more traction than a full diamond

The Pro Taper 1/3 waffle is the best that I have used. Renthal diamond and half waffle used to be my go to, but will stick with the Pro Tapers now from now on.

Scott sx2. I believe they are under rated. Very comfortable and grippy. I used to run kevlars
