Bar grips. I almost forgot!

Which are the wonder bar grips for xc riding?
As you might have guessed I've been out of the mtb world a while, being a stiff back road racer, and now attempting to come back to be a xc racing snake again.

with comfort, comes speed. Weight can be saved elsewere, and we would only be talking a few grams in bar grip wieght difference woudn't we?

Or a favorite the ODI lock ons.

ODI grips with cane creek bar ends work very well and they lock together. Very comfortable and great for climbing

odi rogue lock-ons

I use ODI ruffians at the moment. The lock on collars add weight but it gives 2 distinct advantages:

1) The grips dont slip or slide.
2) Easy to remove when I want to fettle with handlebar setup.


For light weight then foam grips are probably best.

These are meant to be good.
