Which grips would be best for me. I do everything on my bike and it is a Kona Scrap. I was also looking for lock - on grips

  • I have The Lizardskins charger grips:
    Clicky

    Very comfy and seem to last very well too (some grips i have seen can wear out within a couple of months) because they are made from some magically different type of rubber.

    You can also get them in a lock-on version.
  • Very pleased with my new ODI crosstrainer lock ons.
    2006 Giant XTC
    2010 Giant Defy Advanced
    2016 Boardman Pro 29er
    2016 Pinnacle Lithium 4
    2017 Canondale Supersix Evo

    I've been using ODI Ruffians for a couple of years now, on both the XTC and Coiler - can't fault them.
  • Got to be lock ons. I use the crosstrainer lock ons as well and I much preferred them to the raceface lock ons I had before.
  • ODI Ruffian lock ons are the most comfortable and grippy I've used.
    Had them on my old bike for years with no complaints.

    Dot 4 in the eye hurts. Trust me
  • Depends on the size of your hands and how much you like to grip onto...

    Small hands, or people who like to be able to get a good grip tend to like ruffians, whereas larger hands or people who like to balance on top of the bars rather than grip round them prefer rogues or similar fatter grips.
