edited March 2010 in MTB buying advice
i'm looking for a new set of grips, i want something fairly soft and thick as i've got quite large hands and the grips that came on the bike (commencal meta) are just too thin. i've tried some lizardskins peaty lock on grips but found them too small and too hard, i don't want any ergonomic type grips or foam grips and they don't have to be lock on grips, price is not an issue....any ideas?

    ODI Intense, only grips that feel comfy now for me and my big hands!!!

    Sunline are shite - used them once and sold them!!!

    I use Sunline large grips and find them perfectly OK for my large mitts........Suppose it's a case of Horses for Courses.............

    I use Lizard Skins North Shore grips, they're chunky but quite firm untill they've broken in a bit. £7.50 at Merlin.

    I use Ourys, bigger ands softer than Yetis! After trying a set on my Commencal I've been sticking them on every bike. Look a bit weird!

    Using the non-lock on version as it's curiously supposed to be softer.

    Like this.

    +1 for the yetis, quite fat and soft and good on large hands, i cant use thin grips either.

    Totally agree with dunker ODI rogues have my vote currently running them on my bike and a close second would be Lizard skin charger lock on (£18)
