Renthal – Renthal Dual Compound Grips - 1/2 Waffle, including MX dual compound tapered 1/2 waffle grips, standard 1/2 waffle grips, ultra-tacky dual compound grips, and soft/firm and Kevlar versions, is the pattern most motocross racers land on after trying everything else. A dual compound grip bonds a softer outer surface to a firmer inner layer, so the rubber cushions impacts and vibration while the core stays anchored to the bar and resists twisting. The 1/2 waffle layout puts deep waffle blocks under the palm for bite and a smoother section under the fingers to reduce blistering. Options include tapered profiles that thin toward the inboard end for a natural hand position, standard profiles, ultra-tacky versions for wet and cold conditions, soft/firm combinations in gray/blue and gray/black, and Kevlar-reinforced grips. Color choices run grey with black, blue, green, orange, red, and yellow to match plastics. The payoff is measurable in how long you can ride hard: less grip pressure means less arm pump, cleaner throttle and clutch modulation, and steadier inputs in rough, choppy sections where the bike is trying to shake your hands loose.
