Can I use a mountain bike with a non-locking grip for heavy-duty riding?



"Don't you think it's shortsighted to dismiss the benefits of non-locking grips without considering the trade-offs in vibration dampening and fatigue reduction? What's the empirical evidence supporting the claim that locking grips are categorically safer?"
 
Vibration dampening’s cool and all, but is it worth risking a wipeout? Non-locking grips just don’t cut it when you're shredding trails. Why are we still pretending they’re a legit choice?
