Lizard skins used to do some nice push on grips that both my kids have/had.

Also had the Spank Grom ones which were nice, but they're the same diameter as normal lock ons just shorter.

There's quite a few who do smaller diameter grips - Ergon, Deathgrips, Hope.

Might have to move away from lock-on to get the smallest and comfiest combination.

Thin foam ones. Avoid Lock-Ons.

I’ve got unnaturally small hands. The Hope thin ones are great and last a long time too. Currently got a different set on the bike they were on as not in stock at the time I changed them but would happily go back to a set.

SDG slater for an undersized bar/grip combo.

What are the thinnest foam grips? 28mm od seems as thin as they go and those I have seen in that diameter are lock-ons. Though I guess bigger foam ones would squish when you hold them.

Yeah we didn't have much joy with foam ones. TBH I had some thin lock on grips before but we sold the bike and I can't remember what brand they were.

I've got smallish hands and nerve damage so cant extend my palm/fingers too well. Struggle with a lot of grips but ODI Vans seem a lot slimmer even though lock on, and very comfy too.
