I have tried many grips over the past two decades from a lot of brands, and I would have to say this is a top grip to get, my favorite signature grip ever! They are soft out the box, but not too soft, they last a good while - I would go a year and a half or more while I have friends who have gone 6 months - how hard you grip matters for sure.

Not only are they solid out the box, they great through their lifetime. After 6 months they still feel good to me. The picture attached is 6 months or more (I can't remember when I got this pair) of riding 2-3 times every week since I got them. This is my 5 or 6th pair

Also, if you know anything about Hoder, he is #1 and if you don't know why, go watch everything Hoder - in chronological order if you got the time, including his Unclicked
