Pillow top grips

Was just reading about grips. This spring I tried Pro Taper pillow top grips. I've got long fingers and always like a grip that's got a bit bigger diameter. These grips are cushy soft and hang on well especially when they're wet I found. They're so soft that they'll actually squirm a bit if you squueze or twist em. Not so much that they're sloppy of course but enough to take some vibes away. I run em on my enduro bike with flexx bars and i've started replacing the grips on the rest of the bikes with em too.

tried those and didnt realy like them, they made my arms tired faster?, and the ring is made out of 67year old unimog tires,grip doughnuts fix that tho
if you like big grips try tag rebound, i like them, but they make my arms tired faster
but i think grips are mostly personal preference

yeah my grip tire me out too :lol:

Sounds like you figured out how to get some more power or more traction. Or you got puny hands

These are what I use. Rosco turned us on to them. I don't think I'll use anything else.
Only prob I see is water collecting in all the holes. Not really a prob in Cali though...

Thanks for bringing this up, I need to order 2 pair.

I love those pillow tops i swear they take away quite a bit of vibration and my hands last alot longer. They last pretty well through small crashes as well.

I replaced the big grips that Iggy posted with a set of Pillow tops.
The big ones lasted 2 rides before I ditched em. They are comfortable but gave me horrible arm pump. The Pillow tops are ok but I use Tag rebounds on my other bikes and so far I like them the best.

I like the super cheap ones that are labeled "CR style" , come moulded to the throttle tube and the other side locks on. :wink:
Think the last set came in a Moose package.

Been running those Iggy grips for a long time, I love them, they feel great if you have a bigger hand.
