Good grips that aren't narrow?

jacknorell

I'm trying to find a pair of lock-on grips that aren't narrow and ideally with some vibration damping.

Most everying I see is "narrow" in diameter and doesn't negate road buzz, as this bike is a commuter on pretty high PSI slicks.

Anyone has experience with a specific model?

Input would be much appreciated by my battered hands and wrists...

Raceface Strafe are my favourite.

I have quite wide hands and have been through many grips...

most are 135mm longer 1's tend to be 142-147mm

most coller grips - too short - most say 135 but that is including the clamps so they really are 125mm or there about

24seven lock on - when for sale (not always available ) are quite good but have a slight flange and wear is slightly fast but ok

khe pyramid - bmx grip i run on the DJ, very good and used the non lock version before as well, comfy and work well

my current grips on the town bike are Stolen BMX non lock grips (heavy flange but the bike is single speed) non lock BMX grips are very tight on a MTB bar so slip is minimised, but there is a far bigger choice of wide bmx grips out there with and without flange

if you need to use gears you can cut the flange down so they fit nicely, and bar end cap plugs stop any risk of a grip popping off

I've got some lizard skin Charger lock on grips on mine. Good feel, I ride with gloves and they seem to be holding up well against any wear and I dont feel any buss from roads on knobbly tyres.. little bit pricey but good ive found so far
