just wipe your sweaty hands with towel and u dont need lock on grips cause they wont slide anymore ;)
100% true & tested

sorry but I'm calling bs on that one. Those of us who sweat a ton know u don't just have to wipe off before since sweat will fall off mid combo. If you ride in tx-like weather and/or in an underground tunnel like I do then you'll see what i'm talkng about. You'd want lockons too.

i wipe every 5 minutes and wear a sweat band on both wrists, and i've had
nothing but heartache over this issue.

I use KHE lock-ons only. I'm a freak and I'll break anyone's non- lock on grip loose in about 10 minutes of riding. for me, lock ons are a must.
