idk whether to get these or just more softies or whatever lol

I got a pair of Ethic grips a few weeks ago and after riding ODI's for years id say definitely get a pair. I cant say how durable they are as ive only had them a couple weeks but they're a decent length and are super chunky. They get a little bit more slippery than what ODI's do but they arent unbearable when your hands are sweaty. Barends arent the greatest, but still better than ODI barends and barends arent a big deal anyway. Definitely recommend Ethic grips though.

I aired mine out for three weeks because they smelt so awful. The bar ends seem to be sized for butted tubing so i had to file them down to fit. Can't comment on sweat performance yet (winter). I would not go back to softies after riding these.

they are the shit, they are similar to addict grips just a little fatter at first. The part of the grip more towards your thumb comes with this little tapered section, I cut that part off and I like the feel of them better, they seemed to break in faster and more evenly then other people's grips I've felt
