Ruby vs ESI grips vs Luvhandles?

[coppi]

One word.................SPIRGRIPS

[gerriemtb]

Bit of a necro - would you guys advise going with the regular or the more luv Luvhandles grips?

Any more feedback on durability?

 

Thanks!

ESI comes in different thickness so for me thats a win. Otherwise they're all the same. Pick your favourite colour, fit and go ride

Nothing wrong with Luvhandles, nothing wrong with ESI. The Luvhandles are firmer/harder than the ESI. I would go with the more luv. I think because of being harder it might last longer.

I prefer the MoreLuv as it is slightly thicker so feels better in my hands. Durability is really good, I've got a set for > 2 years and it still looks good.

another option: Wolftooth Fatpaw if you have big hands and even an extra chunky ESI is too thin.

evo sells them....crazy expensive and overpriced like any other silicon grip

I must say, I haven't used other silicon grips, but the ones rapide sells are amazing. And cheap. Nice thickness, good grip even in moist conditions. I'm back to mtb without gloves!

Really happy with my Luvhandles. Great value for money. I got the 'More Luv' grips.
Pretty cool that you can pick your plug colour too. I would definitely buy them again and again.

Thanks for al the input. I pulled the trigger on the More Luv Luvhandles

I was going to suggest SQlabs 711 or 70x

the 711's are nice. i'm riding a pair at the moment and they have even survived a few tumbles ...unlike any silicon grip in existence lol

They look like the business! Just a bit out of my budget at this moment.

ditto but they're included in my Christmas list letter to Mrs. Santa

 

I tried them out and it was a bit like meeting the perfect golf club. YOu jsut know you have to take it home right now. I've tried all the silicone grips and they just a chore to fit and maintain. These SQlabs units are pretty light for lockon types but they have soft rubber grips and theres enough to properly cushion your hands. The silicone grips on my bike are the last ones she'll see.

I ordered from them in November. Maybe send them a mail if you are not sure?

Are Luvhandles still in operation? Went on their site just now and when you click on a product it gives an error? Also on activity on their FB page for months?
