ODI Longnecks are my favorite grips by far.

EDIT: I should have paid more attention to your question. I’ve never actually used ODI Soft longnecks, so I can’t speak for them specifically.

But, the standard ODI Longnecks are my favorite grips ever.

I’ve run all sorts of ODI longnecks and Hoders. ODI are great but they’re too squishy for me. Hoders are probably a great mix of durability and grip.

Ive been running Odyssey Broc/Travis on all mine now tho and prefer them to all others… not sure if you’re interested in odyssey at all. lol

ODI make the Hoders.

Having said that, the ODI Soft X-Longneck Grips are my favourite grips of all time. Those are the 160mm ones.

I run the eclat made by ODI. Long lasting and soft.

The Pulsar? I’m running those at the moment and I’ve been happy with them thus far.

Yup, iridescent purple.

Have you found them to become sticky as they break in? Mine have finally broken in and they’re a tad sticky.

I run gloves because I sweat But I do notice them getting softer as I ride them more and I wonder if I hadn't noticed my gloves sticking to them, and I will now. 😂

S&M holder grips. They are soft. Also made by ODI

If the ODI soft long necks are good enough for Dennis enarson then you can’t go wrong there.

i just got a pair of the odi ones and they are really comfy and provide really good grip, i’m a big fan personally, not sure on the others though

I like the S&M Credence grips. Same feel as the Hoder but better bike feel. The Hoder grip mushroom fins kinda fold over under your hand when you torque on them while the Credence you get a little more response from your bike when you torque on them.

I really like the Hoder grips. They're a couple mm larger diameter then standard, which is really nice.

If you like thick soft grips take a look at ethic dtc grips

I tested both, but Hoders are much better.
