Ha! Even I am looking for a good one. Even with gloves on the RC's grip have been the most painful one for me to date!

I've bought a pair of cheapo grips, can't wait to try them. If they suck, I just wasted shy of 3.5$, no harm done 
might get renthal or something next. Full diamond dual density.

I changed mine out this morning. I put on super bike grips by Performance. I use them on my R6 track bike and really like them. One thing I was surprised on was the throttle had tabs that stick up on each end. So I had to cut them off.

My right hand really bothers me on the road at times from them. I wish KTM made some sort of comfort grips aimed at the adventure touring bikes but I don't think they do.

Did a 700 mile weekend. No complaints about the grips.

I put on some Driven Racing Skull grips over the weekend. The throttle tube does have strange tabs I had to dremel off, but it wasn't too hard. The clutch side was glued very good. I had to cut the grip into strips with a razor to get it off.

These ODI GRIPS - CUSH ROAD BIKE GRIPS - STREET look cool in the black/red option if you click that choice and you can't complain about the price.
Some Italian bikes back in the 1970s had grips with a ridge on the throttle side which felt great...reproductions like these Bevel Heaven Products - Tommaselli "Daytona" reproduction grips are available.

I changed our grips to Renthal Medium Soft Road Race that I run on all my track bikes. Install and "Glue" them on with White Rain Max hold hair spray (reminds me of mom).
I first switched out the stockers for the dual compound Renthal that MNNTHBX sells, and I really didn't like them. The grips feel firmer, smaller, and transfered more harshness into my hands but I wanted to at least give them a go since everyone raves about Renthal. I switched the Renthal out for Driven Racing Superbike Grips and I love them! I also bought Driven Racing grippy grips, but never installed them because of how much I like the Superbike grips. They feel way better for my big hands and transfer a lot less harshness into my hands without killing bike feel. I actually forgot that I had on new grips after my first test ride with them on which to me is the most important outcome that you're not paying attention to your grips they just disappear and feel natural. Also they are actually black black, where the blackest Renthal grips are the hard racing grips and they're more of a dark grey or dull black if appearance is important to you. I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't fall in love with Renthals like me.

Grips are common for all bikes except cruisers, if it fits the duke it will fit the RC

I saw these open-ended (which our bikes need) genuine KTM ones on Amazon Amazon.com: KTM Open End Dual Compound Hand Grips: Automotive
..looks like the throttle grip may have a raised ridge bit which would feel good under the outermost joints of your fingers. My right hand really bothers me so I've ordered a pair of Amazon.com: Progrip 714BK Black 125mm Dual Sport Gel Grip: Automotive which looks like the best for me from what the reviews say. If I thought/knew those KTM grips were a lot more comfortable than our stock grips I would rather have had them with the brand name showing but thought the others were a safer bet.
