My seemingly never-ending search for comfy grips continues. Over the years I have tried;

- ODI rogue and yeti
- Specialized enduro
- Ergon GR1

Any recommendations? - I'm in the market for softish lock-ons.

Cheers

ESI Chunky are the comfiest I've ever tried (I've done ODI Rogues and Ergons too).

Edit: aah, they're not lock-on though, but I've had no problems with them.

Superstar Excel are wide and quite squidgy, whilst still being fairly thin.

Ta, warpcow - how are the esi in the wet? I read a review saying they were slippery when wet.

Crankbrothers cobalt foam grips fit the bill:

Grippy as anything, imo. Certainly feel better than the ODIs. A nice bonus is that they insulate against cold coming throught the bars too.

3rd ESI chunky - a STW editors choice and a worthy one.
