Lock on grips

GTi-R23

I'm after some lock-on grips for my bike, looking at these:

Thinking of going for white ones as I'm feeling a bit pimp lately, anyone used these? Do white grips stay white for 30 seconds and then spend the rest of their lives a dull brown colour?!

Heres my bike with ateve peat lizard skins, this was after a 15 mile ride in dust and mud, then a bit of muc off, white again....

I've got Lizard Skins, not sure what exact model, Charge? The ribbed ones anyway. The white's fairly hard work on them because of the texture of the grip, but it still cleans up easily when I can be bothered. I reckon white stuff looks fine once it's dirty anyway, gives it some character.

i have a set of those roccas on my stumpy and they are ace, nice and comfy and stay put, theres not much more a grip can do i spose!!

k2rider

on a completely white bike no i agree but i find white gets dirty and stays dirty and looks well...............i did the white grip thing a few years ago when i built a giant team once rep and it was a bitch to keep clean.

I use lizard skins charger lock ons and they're great. They're a perfect diameter for my hands, the tread design is great and the rubber is pliable enough to use comfortably with bare hands. Highly recommended!

i'm running the Lizard Skins Peatys too (the charcoal/red though, white would NOT have looked good on my bike) and the grip is phenomenal! i don't know what the white ones would be like to clean, but besides that i highly recommend them.

ive got the lizard skins charger grips, Very good, grippy and soft enough not to rip your hands apart too! very recommended! (lizard skins box sais they use ODI lock on grip system)

one of our guys said easy way to clean white grips is to ride wiht out gloves for a ride and that'll sort it?? i have no idea as mine are Black loL!
