I like the Specialized grips I have on my bike, but they're reaching the end of their life. I don't like lock ons, so what grips should I get?

I like their grippines, and they have the right level of squish and the right diameter. I can't find the same ones anywhere, but if you can name them on this pic I might search again..

Otherwise, what would you recommend?

What's the problem with lock ons - do you prefer grips that have the potential to move?

A bit o' spit and they don't move! Lock-ons solve a problem I don't have. I don't like them because the lock gets in the way of my hand, and will always get scratched up in crashes or when I lean the bike on a wall.

Those grips look like the old style Specialized Enduro ones.

I use ODI Rogues on one bike, and Onza Ules on the other.
