These are simply the best soft feeling grip out there. They feel like any top soft grip, but they last a who,e season or more, I have a set on my primary race vintage husky 430, and this is the third season on them, but it is getting close to replacement time. Four stars because they don’t stay put like lock on grips. Not a fault of the grip itself, and it’s a trade off for the extra feel these give over lock ons, that have some feel lost from the inner lock on tube.
