GRIPS
While selecting a set of grips to mount upon a bike\'s handlebars, the beginner may not be so savvy to consider the importance of grips. Grips are not just an afterthought nor a dime-a-dozen part that deserves little thought. The grips you mount to your handlebars are most certainly your most important connection with your bike - even slightly more important than your pegs. You can manage to survive a handstand now and again and remain riding, but an unplanned no-hander in a g-out or over a nasty set of whoops will send your arms into the dirt like javelins and ultimately cartwheel you straight into the emergency room. Some dig on the OEM flavors, others enjoy the array of aftermarket grips available from such companies as SCOTT, Renthal, Pro Grip, Factory 909, Tag Metals and Moose Racing.
