Got these on my ‘second’ bike. Pretty thin but still loads of grip.

Superstar ones are pretty thin, as are ODI longnecks

Spesh SIPs looked pretty good when I had a scan in the LBS the other day.

These are really really good. And cheap. Get them (better get a few) while there is still stock.

The Superstars work well, are cheap, and wear quickly. Called ‘Size Zero’. They’re long too – 150mm – good for running wide bars.

I like my Pro XCR grips.

Raceface Half Nelson look really good, plus no outer lockring to bruise hands: Here

@lurchh Those RF look nice, how long are they (inc collars)?

plus no outer lockring to bruise hands

lordi the hazards I’d never thought of 😉

Ragley do some. Thin but utterly, utterly rubbish. To start off they’re quite soft and nice but after a bit of use they harden up and kinda glaze over meaning they’re lethal in damp conditions. Avoid.

Another vote for Pro XCR.

ESI grips race.

Thin lock ons usually mean just less shock absorbent rubber over the hard shell.

ESI grips are all nice soft shock absorbing stuff right down to your bar.

Spesh single lockons are the best thin ones I’ve tried. They look very similar to the Pro XCRs in fact.

(I’ve tried SS, Charge Sponge, Sunlines (briefly))

Lizard Skins Peaty on both bikes

Mattjg they’re 134mm long. And when you run your hands on the ends of the bars, the lockrings really do hurt after a while. 🙁

Charge are thin

Lurchh ta. If in your natural position you are holding the ends of the bars, maybe try wider bars.

The Superstars are 150mm, I run them on wide bars (725 & 750mm), this gives me a lot of options on hand position, in most rides I use most of the space at some time.

another vote for Sunline Logo thins, I’ve got them on two bikes:
– nice and plain
– super grippy without being sticky
– thin
– hard wearing
– available in different colours
what’s not to like?

Superstar Size Zero – nice’n’wide, but thin too. Great for £9.

This, I’ve tried a few different lock on grips, and comfort wise, none of them come anywhere close to the Renthal kevlar grips I’m running now, as long as you glue them on they won’t go anywhere!

the enormous cuffs at the in-board ends

it’s hardly enormous, not like it’s a BMX style flange
having said that, I did trim the rubber on mine so that the shifters didn’t foul on it

Sunlines FTW, unfortunately now like gold dust 🙁

Already running 800mm Nukeproof bars 🙂 I just prefer to put my hands at the ends
