Alternative grips for SRAM grip shift
Moderator: Moderator Team
I'm switching from triggers to SRAM XX gripshift and looking for alternatives to the heavy (80g) lock-on grips.
Are there good options that can compete with my old 19g Procraft that I used with the triggers? The problem is that these don't match well with the large diameter of the gripshift...
All suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

I'm using normal bar tape and it feels good, then you can get the thickness you want and is pretty light.

I've tried both, and prefer the ESI grips. They have more grip while wet, and I think they provide a little more cushioning as well. The diameter is just right for grip shift too. Plus, so many fun colors!
Bontrager Race X Lite is only 17g when cut to 92mm. However, they do NOT like dirt, excessive sweat, mud or crashing. Expect them to last about a full riding season, before they start slipping off the bars.
Due to the urging of all the ladies...I do NOT shave my legs!
so far, esi grips chunky is by far the best you can get with grip shift, and i´ve tried many many grips...
now there is an extra thick version, the extra chunky, but that would be a little bit too wide for gripshifts. racer edge esi are too thin. chunky is the best i guess

Holy thread resurrection......
I run KCNC/Porkrinds/Avenir AGG406 (all the same grip) cut down with my gripshifts.
