this and the helmet goggle combo thread are my favorite threads right now. i guess those are the two thing i am extremely picky about and interested in. my friend has the logo grips and those are thick and hard style of grip and I actually like them. i experimented with their DSP grip and hated them. they wrinkled up and you can't take them off at all. terrible for gloveless too. slippy as heck as soon as your hands get the slightest bit sweaty.

I used to run ODI Ruffians at one time. Always liked them for my small hands. Then I ran Sensus Swayze grips which are great cushy grips. Currently I am on Sensus Disisdaboss, I love the profile, soft and sticky, nice and comfortable too.
they sound sweet. are the grips around the same diameter as ruffians or are they thicker. ruffians are a little too small for my liking even tho i have kind of small hands.

To be honest I can't remember what Ruffians feel like, I've ran Sensus since they came into the Lbs. Which has been for more than a couple years haha.

They feel thinner than Swayzes when I hold them. And they feel thin I guess, they are a lock on grip, so they are thicker than a slide on, I like how they feel, I'm happy with them. Go to a shop, try them out.

The logo grips look pretty good as do the ratings..I'm eyeing those or some ruffians right now.. it's actually pretty hard to believe that thhere are fellow riders picky about little things like grips or even seat clamps lol

grips are huge man. they can completely change the way a bike feel. for me at least. i went from 30mm diameter grips to a 33mm grip and i felt heaps more confident on the 33 because of my hands being more relaxed and not cramped on small grip.

What feel do you like?

I like thin, but i also like lock-ons..

I found the Alienation Moto which is a 1/2 lock!

1/2 the plastic inner barrel is cut away, so your palm is on the bars, while your fingers wrap the barrel, its rather awesome if you like thin grips...
