as per the title ?

From what I've read it makes sense to go for the C17
& I think they only come in black.

So do I go for one with a ball lopper or not ?

*Bookmarked

'Ball lopper' hahah.

Steve-O from Jackass should force his mail-bag and parcels through one of them and cycle down Pikes Peak from top to bottom. Wearing a cap with a windmill on it. And nipple tassles. Or something

I have one of each. They're both very comfy not a lot of difference between the two really. I keep the non carved on the crossbike

I have a non-carved on my road/gravel bike and some days feel could use the out cut, though dropping the nose a bit cut out the numbness.

Just bought the non carved one. Seems fine from the little I've ridden on it. £74 from Charlie the bike monger if you fancy trying one. Cheapest I could find. They look good too, but then I'd be a tart if that was the main reason for buying one.

I'm having doubt about paying £60 for the Brooks ergo grips though. But they do look trick 😳
