I have been using ODI rouges religiously for years, but I notice that I am destroying them on the SXR. I like the cushion the rouges have, but I am thinking I need a harder compound grip so it lasts longer....I can't be plopping down $25 on grips every two months or so. I don't want to use glue-ons, so I guess I have to stick with ODI's....what are you guys using and how are they surviving?
Grips getting chewed up FAST....what do you use?

I use the ODI Rouges also. But I haven't had much time on them yet to see how they hold up. I do like the size and the cushion they have.

ya, my rogues lasted for a season and a half. You must be employing the he-man death-grip.

What gloves, if any, do you wear? I had Rogues on the Kawi and the SJ and I ride every day(except winter), and they are holding up well. I wear Slippery gloves.

I was actually asking the original poster, but that's cool. Just wondering if he wears some really agressive grip gloves. Some guys wear those mechanix gloves with the mesh grip, and that's like a cheese grater against soft rubber.

LMFAO
I am wearing Jet Pilot gloves, but have some MX gloves on order. I wore Slippery's too, when I rode the Blaster. I think the JP's aren't helping.
LOL....too many dates with Rosie and her sisters....:spankme:
I'll look into those....thanks

My ODI's are chewed up, i have about 3-4 months of ride time on them. they are lock ons so i'm considering buying a new set of handlebars to put a set of lock ons, on rather than try getting the old ones off my x-metal bars. they are comfartable so they are worth the money. i use slippery gloves and probably grip the hell out of them because im an mx racer, but mx is a good cross training because i never get fatigued riding my ski, and i do put my time in on my rides.
