Built for all sorts of riding, from lightweight XC to DH, Race Face's Half Nelson grips save weight by using only one clamp on each grip, which also allow more room on the grip itself to hold on to.They are made from Race Face's super tacky VEXY compound, the idea being they feel and grip like when most grips feel best - when they are wearing out! Don't get the idea that these won't last though, they are still durable for all sorts of use.The topographic pattern aids grip and releases moisture, and the MX style half waffle design only makes for more grip. A slim, lightweight, super tacky grip for all riding styles and conditions.
