Default grips - what do you use/recommend?

just got a r6 throttle tube, what grips are you lot using? as mine need cutting of as they are worn out and glued on

i have had all 3 compounds of renthal road race grips

the soft were good and soft but ware out way to fast (2k)

mediums were good for feel and comfortable but only lasted about 5k

hard were to hard and uncomfortable on long distance but out lasted the rest before i cut them off and put mediums on

so what do you recommend and what are you using?

My stock grips have lasted over 26k and have survived the Symtec grip heaters going underneath and 2 x cold winters.
