What grips?

Need to get some new grips – for the past 15 years or so I’ve run ODI Yeti lockons. I like these as they’re relatively compliant and I have some hand issues that mean I need a softish grip. Any suggestions of other alternatives or similar diameter?

I think this thread may hold a few suggestions.

Anyone tried those new ODI Reflex grips?

ODI longneck – not the lockon version – best grips in the world.

Sensus EMJ if you want slightly thicker, they’re push on which I consider a positive because you get more squishy padding. I absolutely love them.

I’ve got these on a couple of my bikes now. Much cheapness and almost as good as the old ODI Tomac/Attack (which are actually still available). Brand X Mushroom

How big are your hands? I’ve got hands like a baboon so like nice chunky grips and always go for Lizard Skins Northshore. I recently tried some Race Face lock ons and they just weren’t fat enough so they lasted about a week before another set of these went on

I’ve got longneck (lock ons) on one bike and those brand x ones on another. It’s worth paying the extra for the longnecks.

I have deathgrips on mine…my kid liked them so much he has a pair on his bike too

Eughhhh.

Deathgrip race soft compound are the nicest and unsurprisingly soft

@bri-72 I’m on ride 4 of these,  love them also

So sticky 👍

I’ve got DMR Deathgrips, they’re alright, but I’m not sure I’ll get them again. The Burgtec Bartenders look decent. My Dadcountry bike has Gusset Files on it (£3.95 from Gusset website at the mo) which are comfy but push on.

I’m on Burgtecs now after running Spank Spikes for years.

They were really comfy & come in 30mm or 33mm diameters.

Only changed because all the other kit on my bike is Burgtec.

Is this a new class of bike I’m unaware of, or just a more realistic description of the type of riding most of us actually do?

I have dupuytren’s contracture and relatively big hands, so need much squish

I find ESI Extra Chunky are just big enough, but Wolf Tooth Fat Paw are my go too. They are truly massive

ESI silicone foam is my preference, in a thickness and profile of your choice.
I suspect knock-offs are almost as good.

MTB GRIPS

I’ve always wondered how primates sort they nails out, does they bite them or file them down on a rock.😀

@Onzadog, it was a tongue in cheek title from a NSMB article about dad’s getting/going back to jump/pumptrack bikes to ride with their young kids

@zerocool I like it, I think it could catch on.

Oneup have new grips available, thick grip lovers might appreciate the variable 35mm version. They’ve got my attention.
