handlebar grips for non-suspension bike

[konahed]

Can anyone recommend some grips that will absorb some of the vibration since I don't have front suspension?

Hi,

Soft compound thinwall grips and a good quality pair of mitts.

Works for me!

Cheers,Al

Onza Ules, and 2.3 tubeless tyre works here

I've heard very good things about Oury grips.

Supposed to be brilliant and look kinda retro too.

Available from CRC in a range of colours

Ritchey WCS foam grips fella, really comfy and light as a feather

I have found foam grips are way too fat for my little lady hands! And they need wringing out after rides and they give me cramp and sore palms.

Apart from that i get on well with them!

Pipe insulation.... :mrgreen: as retro as they come

Have you tried some of the specialized body geometry stuff? Not sure you'll really get suspension from grips but you could try titanium bars or bigger tyres.

Good point on the bars .. Ti bars are ace for a softer feel...The ritchey wcs grips are a little beefy, but are ace .. Also try some roadie bar tape, doubled retro too works nice.. IMO..

Yeah, Ti bars are going to be pricey though I think.
