MTB Grips - Top 10 (Best Of The Best For Your Mountain Bike)

What are your favorite MTB grips?

[@bottomedoutbiking1616]

Ergon ge1 Evo is 100% my favorite

[@masonrose-hamby2798]

ODI ruffian! They are so amazing!

Grips just are about personal opinion. Except the Deathgrips, these are objectively the best 🙃

[@bronsonlaunder4540]

They wear out too quick check out lizard skin machine grips

[@jahriahhinde8586]

Bronson Launder no they don’t get sticky like off and they are cushy that’s why I like em. Plus if you forget gloves your ok

[@oliroberts8926]

Good

[@TrailFeatures]

If only my grip on reality was as good as the grip I have on the PNW Loams.

[@chameleonpogono]

I have rheumatoid arthritis and tried those Ergon grips with the wing. Helped a little bit. ESI super chunky is where a huge difference was made. Super comfortable and seems to dampen the shock from riding.

[@MrBig617]

I dealt with a lot of hand pain/numbness. Unfortunately the ergon with the wing didn't help it. But fortunately, the ESI foam grips helped a ton! I use the extra chunky because of my giant gorilla hands.

[@uvwuvw-ol3fg]

I think the relative softness of ESI extra chunky encourages to grip them too tight. Ergon type grips or grips with 4 ridges for fingers feel more like they melt in your hands.

[@spuddo123]

Me watching the intro: No, I definitely clicked on KZbin...

[@markmihalko9888]

I was looking at grips on your website last night... You spying on me Jeff?

[@superawesomefuntimego]

Been running the PNW Loam's on both my bikes recently, love them. My favorites I have used to date. Solid tacky grip and comfortable with thicker channels where some added firmness is needed and thinner channels where some more compliance is nice.

[@dermax_hd]

they look really good from what ive seen indeed. i really like my deathgrips but if they get bad some day i might actually consider those PNW

[@jadamane]

@3:11 the miniature manikin hand hand got me cracking up. It was just chillin ergonomically 😂😂😂😂😂😅

[@retardedbongo9681]

I think this is the best intro I've seen this year.

[@harris7772]

I have eegon ge1 on my full sus and deathgrips on my hardtail and love them both but ergon is the best 👌

[@biggles6o4]

Top 10 *Lock-On* grips. Once you try a glue/wire push on grip, it's hard to go back. The lack of an internal pipe or frame means more rubber for a given thickness, so they are really comfortable, especially if you have a hand injury/condition.

[@tmaskaly_15]

My favorite grips are the Sensus Lite grips. They feel super comfortable out of the box and don’t need to be broken in.

[@tacticalpotato5665]

The ergon ge1 are my number one go to. The more you use them the more they make sense and normal grips feel weird and uncomfortable to me now. They removed all of the pain I used to have in and on the outer edge of my palm. The build is on another level with a reasonable price (they're not cheap compared to some other grips but a good grip makes a night and day difference to ride quality and how much motivation you have out on the trails).

[@jacksonvance5469]

My favorite grips are the Ergon GA3’s. I had hand numbness and these fixed it all, plus, I don’t need to grip them too hard b/c of their design.

[@liamwoods5353]

Hard to beat those ODI Elite Pro's, once they are broken in they just feel like home :)

[@johnkinnee3975]

I've used those but if you've tried the DMR Deathgrip Race compound in the larger size which would you say is softer?

[@ZanderLexx]

I own a MTB for the city relaxation rides and I ride my bike without gloves. Also I do have a problem with the wrists ( programmer/game tester) and I have the Ergo GA3 grips. Without them I couldn't ride a bike. The GA3's really helped me.

[@stinkybeam]

ESI grip, the best. I am using the Extra Chunk one, most comfortable grip EVER!! and it's light weight as well, 76g a pair

[@danielstormy3660]

Im using Esi chunky on 3 bikes, Extra chunky was too fat for me :--(

[@HannesSchmiderer]

I've smaller hands and I was long looking for grips with a smaller diameter but still enough damping. Since I found the ESI Racers Edge I'm really happy with them. But on trips I always have some spare grips with me as they tend to tear when crashing. So not perfect for downhill or enduro but for me still the best option.

[@henryfeige8596]

How did they not add the best grips in the world?! (ESI)

[@maliaburcham]

Just bought the wolf tooth fat paw cam grips from you guys and I'm super excited about it. I'm going to get my husband the Ergon GE1 Factory grips and we'll see how they compare! I have large hands for a girl but I didn't want to go full fat paw so when I saw they came out with this cam design, that got me interested. I have a feeling we will lean more to ergon but we'll see!!

[@fico4u]

RevGrips are the best in the game and a must have!!

[@wheeliemachine626]

Here is the creepy little baby hand that I noticed is missing in IG

[@Psyclist80]

Donald Trump as a hand model! LUCKY!

[@ryancampbell5246]

I got those DMR grips a few days before I saw this video. They are amazing. Really comfortable and gripy. I have another set of DMR grips as well which are really nice as well. Definitely go DMR or ODI grips people!

[@ZOB4]

I love the GA3s - I have an old injury to my left wrist and the little wing makes all the difference to comfort and control

[@lmandrums3118]

My favorite grips are the ODI Troy Lee DESIGNS grips. THey are awesome. Also great intro

[@ericklaurila1293]

I've tried most of these grips, Ergon, ODI, PNW, and Deity, and the new Deity Lockjaw are my favorites. I'm running those on my trail/all mountain bike and running Knuckledusters on my hardtail.

[@albertmanzo9510]

Great review ...good to know which are the very best for low or high end riders bars:!!

[@yohanyonsson]

The DMR Deathgrips are amazeballs! I’ve got the flanged versions on both my bikes. Great grip, great looks and let’s you use the end of the bars as well.

[@IIJAMZYII]

Can't comment on others but DMR DG's are 👌🏽

[@jahriahhinde8586]

Yes

[@GP_EMTB]

ESI grip, the best for me. I am using the Extra Chunk one, most comfortable grip EVER!!

[@CartaIV]

I ordered a pnw bar/grip combo and I can’t wait for it to come in❤️ keep up the good work

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

My current favourite grips are NS Hold Fast grips. Amazing design based on sailor tattoos and has a great wide feel and really comfortable and grippy whether I am wearing gloves or not.

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

Any suggestions for grips on a 10 hour ride on desert jeep road? My Outer metacarpals are completely worked after hours on the bike

[@akabukiman]

Hey Jeff, I love these PNW grips in cement grey. They look awesome! They are on "special order" right now - do you know when they can be shipped? How long will shipping to Germany approximately take using the cheapest method? Cheers!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Hey David, unfortunately we don't have a really good estimate right now. But I am thinking around two to three weeks. And it would probably takes about that long to ship to Germany with first-class mail 👌

[@fernandomunguia17]

I have dmr deathgrips on my enduro and deity knuckledusters on my trail bike. Without gloves I like the deity grips better, but with gloves deathgrips feel better than any other grip I've tried

[@megatryn]

Working in a bike shop have had me try many a grip, and my all time favourite that I now have on all my bikes is the Sensus Swayze! So good!

[@jared_erickson]

All about those Ergons lately. GD1 and the GE1 :) But I also really like the rest of these in the lineup except for maybe the foam ones, not a big foam grip guy

[@trugearreviewmtb2226]

Best grip to date (not even a close competition imo) is the ODI dread lock. Obviously grips are a super personal item probably only second to saddles. For someone with big hands and multiple hand and wrist injuries and metal implants there’s nothing close. Comfy, cushy but firm, massive traction, slight contour. Eager to give the Deity SupraCush a try tho.

[@michaelrodgers5105]

My new favorite for the past 5yrs is the VANS "Cult" grip with my Ti bar ends. Before that was just ODI longnecks

[@mkhitarkhodaverdian7159]

Which one is the most comfortable one? Also which one is the biggest in diameter? Im 6'4 and i have a big hands Also im riding trail bike and my current grips are so stiff and thin

[@me-xq8nb]

Are they actually good? I Like His channel but Like really?

[@alexloewen1488]

@@me-xq8nb honestly I gotta say they are the best grips I've ever ridden, I find there the perfect combination of tacky rubber and squishy rubber that is somehow still firm. Plus they're way cheaper than most other lock-ons so I gotta say they're my personal favourite

[@zsanterre]

I finally found a couple things that I needed to order and am officially a proud customer of WWC! You guys are the only company on this planet that has official 20w fox gold fluid btw, so keep that sh!t up. Also thanks for the grips, can't wait till they show up

Ergon GA3 for the win!! I have tried others but always come back

[@matthewedwards5682]

Burgtec Bartender pro grips are fantastic and well worth a look 👍🏻

[@elielmaukonen8205]

[@_Bryant.R]

I've ran ESIs since I first tried them and don't plan on ever changing. American made, cheap, so comfortable 👌

[@leebell7585]

Great stuff!! Keep it coming brother. 👌🏻

[@adamf.8564]

I know it’s nothing but preference, BUT: man oh man!!! Those PNWs are a huge hit.

[@alehax27]

Found your website because of this video and bought ODIs because of it

[@ShannonSteelLabs]

Currently running the PNW Loam grips in orange. Love them. Next grips will probably be the Supracush from diety. Picked them up at a bike shop and was like woaa super comfy.

[@sampol6763]

What is the best grip for bike touring? Thanks

[@nelson4483]

The GE1 is insanely good

[@JS-up8ff]

I wish shops selling grips, added a filter for the outer diameter of the grip. It also seems the companies themselves usually don’t mention this. For me personally, I like fatty grips, but it’s hard to just order them online because of the earlier reason I mentioned.

[@175thStreet]

Haha such a good intro and great vid as usual.

[@jsasa5668]

I have the ODI Troy Lee Designs Lock-On grip and the ODI Elite Pro. Love both of them.

[@bumblebeeyaj9375]

I'm a big guy and I need a comfortable grip. Which one would you prefer?

[@mozzarellabmx]

I'm a gloveless guy so the absolute go to is ODI longneck, doesn't get better for gloveless

[@andrewince8824]

ODI fanboy here. I run longnecks on both my BMX and DH bike. Those things just work.

[@DoctorORBiT]

I rode the Ergon GA2's for a long time, they are super awesome and comfortable. But totally interested in the Deathgrips!

[@sinisakalicanec6823]

I bought Canyon Spectral CF 9 which have the original above Canyon G5 Grips.Which are perfect, soft and hold your hands as if you glued them to them.

[@Karl_Kampfwagen]

ODI has won my business. Double lock-end models preferred, like the Rogue, which is also an XL grip diameter 👍🤓 Comfy, easy install and removal, low-to-avg price, color variety, durable AF, and helps large handed riders relieve grip fatigue. 😋 ODI 💚

[@justgo4033]

I got the dmr death grips for my dh bike , best grips ive tried so far , thinking of putting them on my other bikes .

[@austingriffith5580]

Love my deathgrips, on my second pair. Laid by bike down at windrock and ripped one off lol.

[@Ivanpenko]

I am on sram foam grips for 2nd year. They are perfect for riders with long fingers

[@jasonrouse6912]

Mine are ODI Vans grips. I like them because they remind me of my old skate days.

[@mrvwbug4423]

I run the PNW Loams on my Full sus and the DMRs on my hardtail, they are both pretty good, the PNWs might feel a little thin if you prefer a fat grip.

[@MilitaryVet]

Ergon GA3. Jumps, Drops, Downhill... Yup. You can still do ALL of that with the GA3. Why did it take me so long to switch!

[@seanbickford2842]

I'm a die hard ODI guy myself. That's all I've used for years. I don't think I've ever had a set of ODI's I didn't like. I would have to say that my faves from them are the Crosstrainers and the Box Ones.

[@vomErsten]

That moment when you read the channel name as "World Wide Cutlery". Damnit, Bobby!

[@ShannonSteelLabs]

I can help with cutlery. Lol.

[@weathdone]

Ergon all the way... Ive tried alot of diff grips and recently tried the loam by PNW and def not a fan they got returned same day. :) Ergon is just amazing next is to get one of their seats.!!

[@christeschke9844]

I always wonder if people buy Deity for color only. I have been rocking some crank brothers Foam that stop my middle finger from going numb , so i will still have use of it on the drive home.

I love Oury grips. Been riding them for ever...

[@JimmyBeanz13]

I am stuck on the OURY grips. Only because I raced ATV's from the 90's to early 2000's with them. I just gave my brother the Rogue's off my bike and went back to Oury. I like the Girth in my palms....

[@Coolchris158]

[@tracymcmanus550]

Just replaced my Ergon GP1s with the GA3s. Game changer. Not one time while riding today did my hand go numb

[@williamsherman4706]

I used to love Ergon grips, but recently to me they seem cheapened for the price. I spent 40$ on a pair and it has a plastic lock on. Not impressed with it. I have 2 old pairs of Biocork GA1. They are fabulous. They really help my hand pain! I sent the GE1s back. They did not have even close to the quality feel of the GA1 with its metal lock on. After 100s of rides, those are still good. Just need a hard cleaning occasionally to keep them sticky. I use water and cleaning vinegar. I will probably try the GA3, although I'm looking at the Bontrager version of the same thing.

[@Yowzoe]

Did you try the Bontrager version of the GA3 as well as the GA3? What's your verdict? ty

[@jacob.rausch]

"around 6 inches long" thanks bro 💪💪

[@jameslemieux1731]

Foam grips for me. I find they keep my hands dry on sweaty rides, I only wear gloves while descending, they come off for climbs and flow trails. A lot less hand slipping. I will order the sram lock ons because that's the only thing missing from foam grips. Thanks for the review

[@lukecooper1993]

[@Aiden56l0]

[@seanbickford2842]

Cool to see another old school Kona rider. I ride a 2001 Kona Blast and it's still going strong and I love it!

[@gibbethoskins8621]

I prefer a slightly thicker section at the end of the grip, and a stopping point at the inside edge of the grip, i find it gives a good reference point either side and prevents lateral slip off in more gnarly situations. None of these really have both but the ODI's. The ODI's i run have even more on both edge and it works great.

[@andyburdziejko7231]

My fav is the lizard skin peaty lock on. Btw great video!

I wanted to like the Ergon's but they wore out after only 2 months. The inner sleeve grew in diameter and there was play at the end of the bars. Ruined my wrists for about a month. Switched to deathgrips and will never change. I dont know how they are so good but they just are.

[@cwalt74]

Youve missed out the diameter of the ergon GE1 grip in the blog. can you advise? cheers
