(not the wing type)
divernick Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 ESI Chunky King_Crispy, Ramrod, gummibear and 4 others 7
rouxtjie Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I like Esi grips, they don't give me numb hands and are quite light. Also colour coded so you can add some pimpness
Eldron Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 ESI Chunky +1 Once you go ESI you never go back. Anything other than silicon is harsh and blister forming! Nimby and akneethling 2
Face Plant Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 i have tried ESI grips and they arent bad but i prefer the lock grips from SRAM one of the few grips that you can clean properly
Skott5 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Only 2 choices reallyIf you like to fiddle and constanly change handlebars etc then lock on grips are the best - ODI Otherwise ESI ( Chunky ) - All day comfort ..

D Vader Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Esi ( chunky) give me numb hands, I've tried them a few times, as they seem to work well for everybody else, so found Specialized BG contour , lightweight lock on grips, easier to remove when need to and the bigger surface are has prevented my numb hands ( a real problem as I do not have suspension anymore ) I wear xxl gloves and the narrower womens grips are still wide enough for me, do not know why the mens grips are so wide.

Cav' Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 You get a bunch of real *** gripsUsed Giant OEMLizzard skinsSramand some otherbut, ESI stays the most comfortable
