Has anyone found good quality lock-on grips that aren't excessively heavy? I have ESI foam grips now but I am willing to add a few grams for the solid zero-movement feel and integrated bar end protection that lock-on grips offer. Ideally I want grips that are no less than 32mm O.D.

TIA :beerchug:

KCNC makes a lock-on version of EVA Foam Grips, 47g claimed weight. Non-lock-on EVAs are decently light and good value.

I use Cobalt Grips by Crank Brothers...weight listed as 67g, they come in a little lighter. You can find them in red, gold, and silver. https://www.crankbrothers.com/products/cobalt-grips
