[Closed] Thick grips

I'm recovering from breaking a few fingers a month ago, I'm back on the bike but my grips don't seem to feel as comfortable as they use to.

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;"> I rode a friend's bike with odi north shore grips which felt better but too hard.</span>

So has anyone got any recommendations for thick and soft grips ?

Thank you

Bontrager RL (I think) are big and soft, I have them on my rigid bike for that same reason.

Apologies, "Rhythm Plus" is the name of the big chunky ones.

I’ve got some Ergon FAT grips, it helpfully says Fat on them though the other one should say “and unfit”.  Definitely helped with my 3x tendon washout mangled little finger ....

Oury lock ons. Or the simple Oury push on, cheap, thick, and soft.

These are by far the thickest grips I know of -- they dwarf even the massive ESI chunky's

Brendog Death Grips soft thick are rather nice if you like thick grips. They come with or without the flange.

Brendogs here too, were so thick, took a bit of getting used to.

I'm currently using brendogs grips so a fat version of them may be perfect, thank you for all your help

Mine are fairly well worn I'm not sure you would want them and I like the flange

I'm recovering from a broken hand (broken thumb in fact - known as a Bennetts fracture) and have the same need - I'm not riding just yet but I've found some ESI grips that seem to fit the bill and are fitted and ready to go in a couple of weeks:

These are the Chunky ones, which appear to be really comfy, but they do some Extra Chunky ones that you might find even better

I might be able to do swapsies if you're looking for a bit less girth Dezbo?

I have gone back to normal/thin grips after the Easton thick and while this may be placebo, I think the steering feel is better on thin grips
