+1000 on the ODI-Oury grips. I like them because they have a very positive feel. I don't like a grip that is too narrow or small. Awesome feeling grip!!

Wow, quoting myself...interesting.

Anyway, one more thing I forgot to add is that these things last forever too. The set that is on my Yeti transferred over from my Enduro. They are about 4 years old and still going strong. The other 3 sets I'm running are all at least 2 years old and just as good as the day I bought them. For a $20 grip, I call that 'nuff said!

As Sloth mentioned though, make sure the grip feels right in your hands first. :cheers:

Ended up buying ODI Rogues. Nice size, not too soft, and natural gum color looks good with my gold frame. Like them alot after about a half-dozen rides.

I cannot say enough good things about the ergon grips.
I rode an old bike without them after using ergons for a few months and the difference is pretty amazing. No wrist issues, no hand fatigue, none of it.

If multi-hour rides are your thing, I would say to give them a shot. MSRP is high but I think I picked mine up for 20 or so at Performance.



+1 I have these and love them.
