Oury's...I'm selling mine because they're too thick for my hands when wearing gloves.

big grooves for mud to gather too, rather than just smearing all over the smoother grips.

Another Vote for ODI Rogues.
Only trouble is they make all my other grips seem thin especially the hopes.

Another vote for Superstar Excel, dead comfy for dead cheap!

Yeti, or oury. Oury are slightly larger, and more rubbery - better damping IME.

Ruffians are quite thin IMO.

I just got some Superstar Excels, not quite as squishy as ODIs and not quite as chunky, but very good and cheap cheap cheap.

Edit to say I was thinking of ODI rogues, not ruffians

I've got hands like an orang-utan. Lizard Skins North Shore are well chunky.

I have Excel's on one bike and Oury's on another, definitely find the Oury's more comfortable and shock/vibration absorbent...

Those Lizard Skins North Shore grips above look a lot like the Oury's but with a knurled pattern where Oury's are just smooth...

See what I mean...

+1 for Superstar Excel. They are as thick as Odi Rogue but much longer.

They wear out quickly though but that doesn't matter because it's only £5.99 to replace the cartridge 😀 😀

btw, when i was ordering they kindly said i may also want a set of Hope Grip Doctors. £16! do these serve any purpose other than to look a bit 'bling'? seems a bit indulgent to me...

I switched from ODI Ruffian to Rogue - big difference and I very much prefer the Rogues, far more comfortable for my XL hands. And rumour has it they're 650b and #Enduro compatible as well... 😀

Yep, they are (indulgent), but they are nice looking.
