So the claw's signature grip is a ruffian?

Yes, but with radness built in.

If I use these grips, I'll eventually grow bear's claws right?

Lots of people ride ruffians, they've been out for a long time. Lots of people wish they were just a touch thinner and a touch stickier, Perhaps he was one of them?

I have both the ruffians and these grips and there are differences but they are indeed similar. The bearclaws are really short too - pay attention to the 130mm length

He has left the big S according to team rumours on Vital..

i think he got dropped because he was injured too often and had not good enough results for big S. i hope he finds a new sponsor because the claw is awesome. maybe his brother can get him with knolly?

Judging by the specialized boxes that just arrived in his garage, I'd say he's still with them.

I've been using these for a couple of months now, and they're great. Thinner and stickier than most, not sure if they'll wear all that well but not expensive so not too worried.

I have been using these for 3 months... skinny and sticky...like the ruffians but with his name on it. They work great. You might not like these if you have actual bearclaw size hands.

I actually own these grips. Had them for a while. Slip when my hands sweat but otherwise a solid grip.

I have them as well and they are pretty solid but there are way better options out there. Easton and Renthal both offer better thin options

He would be the best guy to just go shred with.

Does anybody else notice a striking resemblance to ODI Ruffian? Not to be captain obvious or anything...

My wife has these on her bike, I had the Ruffians on my bike. They are very similar, but I seem to remember these being a bit stickier and slightly skinnier. Could have been her new vs my old grips... I know she loves them.

Zinc should have gave him a signature grip for sensus. Because sensus> ruffians

Why would you go for anything but Sensus grips?
