I fancy some new grips and a change from lock-on. In the past I have always used thick lock-ons like Sunline and odi rogue, but wonder if a medium sized grip would work better for me. I was getting numb hands last ride, maybe I need to go smaller?

ESI Silicone 🙂

I know they are lock-ons, but take a look at the On One fat bob foam grips. Used them for a couple of years now; comfy, hard-wearing and light.

Currently I’m between Renthal and ESI chunky.

ESI racer

Those on-ones look interesting, ESI racer probably too thin for me.

I’m a big fan of WTB Weirwolf grips.

lovely soft compound, very satisfying girth and the knobbles mean you don;t have to hold on so tight

If you think the ESI Racer is too thin then they do a Chunky and Extra Chunky version.
I use the Extra Chunky and they’re awesome!

ESI Chunky here… they are knackered after a couple of OTB’s. Chunks missing big slit running about an inch into the length. I’d buy them again though, I always got on with oury before that.

Really impressed with my ESIs. Racers on most, chunky on the xc bike (as it’s sometimes rigid) They do seem to wear a bit funny, chunks missing from one of them…

Got a couple of sets of lightly used Renthal kevlars, good grips but not quite as good, if you fancy trying it for cheap 😉

Another fan of ESI’s here, but I think Odi Attack’s are great as well.

I’m interested Northwind, just tried to email, but it was bounced back.
