What grips you rockin?

[Soundguy]

Looking for something soft. My hands are still recovering from downhill season..... the chatter through the braking bumps towards end of season was insane. I've hated the stock grips on my Commencal since I got the thing.... diameter is slightly large for my hands and the compound is extremely firm. I have some Race Face grips on my hardtail (forget the name...something nelson?) and I like the size but they also have zero shock absorption. As a drummer/guitar player my hands have suffered enough abuse.... looking for something soft and cushy. Whatch'all got?!

Ergons or GTFO.

 

[RobW]

ESI chunky

i have the bontrager version of the ergons, they come in two sizes take your pick.

im not happy with the chunkys that came on my stache, havent gotten around to replace them yet (if you come on friday your welcome to take a look/ride at the chunkys)

 

[stb222]

Ergons or GTFO.

Which ones doe?

I like the GA2’s, however when they wore out, made my hands hurt. Have GE1’s on right now and don’t like then as much, too bubbly in the middle palm.

Idk how people ride chunkys, those things are thick as hell.

 

[JimN]

Which ones doe?

No idea. I have three sets, but I bought them a long time ago.

 

[serviceguy]

I had the Race Face Half Nelson, did not like them. Switched to Ergon GA2, much better.

ESI Chunky or Fit XR. The Fit XR's are sweet grips.

 

[mattybfat]

ESI chunky

Though I been eager to try the DMR brendon death grips

 

[Ryan.P]

Odi long neck push on no glue no problem all season. Lever position will affect hand comfort way more than any grip will just sayin

 

[soundz]

keep riding eventually your soft hands will get used to it

I run death grips. I love them but they're not very soft like the OP is looking for. I have a spare pair if you want to try them out.

 

[jmanic]

I run Odi Rogues, all day urrrryday.
But they are thicker and not so soft.
So that doesn’t help you.
GLWG!

GA2s I really really like. The GE1 is nice but it wants to lock you into one position a little more with that little bump.

Deity Knuckledusters on my current rig, and loving them. No problems after a day of those end of season bomb holes ar Mt Creek.

 

[jShort]

ESI Extra chunky on my hard tail. Very soft.

 

[olegbabich]

Ergon on all bikes, but

Odi Rogues on Downhill Bike.

 

[Steve Vai]

Ergons or GTFO.

Ergon all the things.

 

[Jmann]

ESI extra chunky or wolf tooth fat paw. I have big hands and prefer a meaty grip, and I also prefer not wearing gloves, and in that case silicone grips work really well for me. I’ve used ergon and get why people like them.

Odi Longnecks are what I typically run on everything as well. However I'm currently trying some Ergons, GE1 and GA2, due to a recovering wrist injury. Initial impressions are positive.
