isitafox Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just wondered if anyone on here has used foam trials grips on their mtb and if so, how did/do you find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marg26 Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Are foam trials grips anything like ESI Chunky silicon foam grips? I found the latter an improvement in comfort over lock-ons, but they didn't last me long at all. Edited May 3, 2019 by marg26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 I am a big fan of the Sensus Swayze grips, won't use anything else from now on. https://www.thesensus.com/shopgrips/swayzeslips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with grips on my mountain bike is that they need to be lock-ons, with riding gong down in all weathers and the like. As mentioned above, the foam ESI grips come as lock on, so they could be your best bet. 22 hours ago, Brian Bleech said: I am a big fan of the Sensus Swayze grips, won't use anything else from now on. https://www.thesensus.com/shopgrips/swayzeslips Not like you to be running new grips I've been running ODI nipple grips for the past few weeks and really liking them.

Which ones are the nipple grips? Big fan of ODI grips, might try them ... I ran longnecks for years, great grips but the sensus work way better in 40C temps with no gloves.

I think I'd destroy them trying to take them off the bars but slipping doesn't seem to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only used with gloves so far but from the feel of them just having a grope, they feel sticky and soft, so no complaints from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
