Renthal Ultra Tacky Lock-On grips


RENTHAL’S KEVLAR GRIPS have long been a hit, but with the new Ultra Tackys they’re attempting something a bit special. When you remove these UK-made grips from their packaging they’re sticky to the touch.Wrap your fingers around them and there’s noticeably more adhesion than normal.

For gloveless pilots they’re superb, offering leach-like adhesion, particularly in the rain. Moisture removes dust and grit that’s become stuck to them too, renewing their stickiness. With a medium diameter and just over 130mm of grip surface the Ultra Tackys should suit most hands, though the outboard lock-on collar (many companies are pressing forward with just an inboard one) won’t please everyone.

If you ride sans gloves then these are the grips for you. They’re also a superb ‘ride all winter’ option if you’re fed up with your grips turning to soap at the first drop of rain.

 Price 37$
