Product Information
Full details
The Renthal Motorcycle Grips - Soft Compound - Light Grey (MPN: G147) are designed for road racing enthusiasts seeking superior tackiness, strength, and shock absorption. Their primary benefit is an exceptionally comfortable ride with enhanced grip feedback, reducing fatigue and the likelihood of blisters. However, the soft compound, while comfortable, is prone to quicker wear compared to harder compounds. Key features include a full diamond design for optimal grip and comfort, and a soft compound for a cushioned feel.

FAQs
What makes the 'Soft Compound' different from other Renthal grips?
The 'Soft Compound' uses a lighter grey, more pliable rubber material that prioritizes comfort and vibration damping over extreme durability. It offers a more cushioned feel and better feedback compared to harder compounds.
How long can I expect these grips to last?
The lifespan depends on riding conditions and frequency. Due to the soft compound, they will wear faster than harder grips. Regular inspection for wear is recommended, especially on high-mileage or frequently used bikes.
Will these grips fit my motorcycle?
These grips are designed for standard 7/8 inch diameter handlebars. It's always best to confirm your handlebar diameter before purchasing.
How do I clean my Renthal grips?
Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the rubber.
Can I use these grips for off-road riding?
While designed for road racing, the tackiness and comfort are beneficial for many riding styles. However, off-road conditions can accelerate wear due to dirt and abrasion.
What is the MPN for these grips?
The manufacturer part number (MPN) for these Renthal Soft Compound grips is G147.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel loose or spin on the handlebar.
The grip adhesive may not have cured properly or was insufficient. Remove the grip, clean the handlebar and grip interior, and reapply grip adhesive according to the product instructions. Allow adequate drying time.
Difficulty sliding grips onto the handlebar.
Ensure the handlebar and the inside of the grip are clean. You can use a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a grip-fitting spray (ensure it's compatible with rubber) to act as a temporary lubricant. Once positioned, the alcohol will evaporate, leaving a snug fit.
Grips feel sticky or gummy.
This can sometimes occur with soft compound grips, especially in hot weather or if exposed to certain chemicals. Clean the grips with mild soap and water. If the stickiness persists and is due to wear, replacement may be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional comfort due to the soft compound.
- Provides excellent grip feedback for better control.
- Reduces hand fatigue and the risk of blisters on long rides.
- Effective shock absorption for a smoother experience.
- Full diamond pattern ensures consistent tackiness.
Cons
- Softer compound wears out more quickly than harder alternatives.
- May require more frequent replacement due to faster wear.
- The light grey color might show dirt more readily.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the handlebars are clean and free of any old grip adhesive or debris.
- Carefully slide the Renthal grips onto the handlebars, ensuring they are positioned correctly and comfortably.
- For a secure fit, use a grip adhesive specifically designed for motorcycle grips. Apply sparingly to the inside of the grip or the handlebar, then slide the grip on and hold firmly until set.
Compatibility:
These grips are designed for standard 7/8 inch diameter handlebars common on most motorcycles. Ensure your throttle tube is compatible with slip-on grips.
Care:
Clean the grips periodically with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe them down. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the rubber compound. Allow the grips to air dry completely before riding.
