I'm done using AME grips, Im thinking about ODI ruffian MX or ODI rogue. Is there any other that I should consider and what are you guys running ?

Rogues are nice but too thick for me and put a strain on my hands. I use ruffians but because they're thin, they wear out faster.

The ODI Xtremes are nice. Diameter is in between Ruffians and Rogues and they last 10X longer than Ruffians. I agree with the 'Ruffians are for girls" quote. Those things are way too skinny.

I prefer the lizard skin North Shore grips. Super sticky, soft and will not tear up your gloves. Mine are still going strong after 3 years of hard riding.

Ran Yeti's on my SXR. Great grips.

I have had RENTHAL's on my SJ for the past several years with great luck. I am running the older XMETAL bars with the knerling on the grip sectoin, lock on grips dont fit, have not felt like grinding on the bars!

I first saw the Yetis on Kahuna's ski. I remember thinking "Holy crap those grips kick ass!"

That's the day the love affair began.

I've been using OURY grips since I got into mt bikes like 15 yrs ago.

I love them because they are fat, sticky and have a good grip pattern. You can also get them for ODI lock on applications.

got to have APE hands for those........ Just like the rogues

I guess I do have ape hands.... The rouges and ourys are the only grips that don't fatigue the shiz out of my hands.

I used to run skinnier grips on my HX and after an 8 lap moto I would barely be able to flex my fingers. The ourys solved that problem.

Those are grips that either fit you or they dont!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that design has been around about as long as the mushroom style!!!!!!!!!! Wish they just made a smaller diameter version!
 
Yeah smaller diameter rouges would be nice...
big diameter is really bad for carpal tunnel...
