Renthal Lock-On Grip Ultratacky review – superlative levels of grip and comfort

Renthal bike grips on mossy wall.

Renthal’s handlebar and stem combos have garnered legendary status over the years with its cool-looking gold bars adorning many of the world’s top pros' bikes. Its wide range of MTB grips are available in six different compounds to suit all tastes. I’ve tested the ultimate in grip – the G195 Lock-On Ultratacky version which is the go-to model for the majority of Renthal’s pro team riders. 

The close knurled pattern works well, and you’ll see a similar pattern used by ODI on its Ruffian and on Hope Tech’s Lock-on (Image credit: James Blackwell)
