Where does everyone buy their Renthal Kevlars? I'd rather not give my money to Cycle Gear again.
Also, how do they compare to the grey Renthals? I have those installed now and love them but only got about 5 months out of them. I assume that the Kevlar compound will have a similar feel but will last longer.
That's why I say they are worth the little extra $ over the normal Renthal compound. The gray looks better but the durability of the Kevlar grips is more appealing to me. I always joke that the yellowish color was on purpose, to match my gold forks :drink
for some reason i go thru grips really fast, i liked the kevlars, the color kinda grows on ya after a while. Ill probably get another set, mine lasted about 6 months
If you look at your Renthal grips, they'll say just how thick they are. It'll be V29 or V32 on the thumb side.
As been mentioned, the difference is the outer diameter. You want thicker grips go with 32, narrow, go with 29.
IMO, 29mm is the way to go. I have 32mm Dual Compounds on my R1 now cause a local shop ****ed up my order and I don't really like them. Didn't want to go through the hassle of return/re-order, so I stuck with them.
On my R6 I have a set of 29mm Kevlars that I've had laying around for several months. Online vendor sent me the wrong Dual Compounds so they let me keep them and sent me the right set.
Seems I can't get any luck ordering these things. lol. Personally, I like the regular Dual Compounds better than the Kevlars, but to each his own.
I sell and get Renthal grips. i am gonna be placing an order shortly for a bunch. Medium and Hards I think Whatever Gray is and black. Perfect for racers. Razor thin, last forever, and they are short so they don't hit the paement easily.
Otherwise, I've got plenty of the superbike pro-grip grips that feel similar, but are softer to the hand and are the correct length.
Interested Chief...just not sure which ones to buy. Thinking the 29. Still running stock, think I'll need to decide on some clip-ons as well. Thoughts?
I'm about ready for another set myself. Kind of getting torn around the ends, because I like to grab real close to the end of the bar in corners. :laugh
just this a random question but i just got my renthal kevlar grips in the mail and one of them seems firmer then the other, is the firmer one meant for the throttle or what?
I do. PM me your shipping info. I don't know how it works with duties up there, etc. We gotta figure that out I guess first? Either way, hit me up.
