Wide MTB grips

Tech Tech - What to Buy
1

Having just got back on an MTB for some messing about and coaching, I’m a little nonplussed by the grips. I replaced the hardish rubber ones with some thick foam ones, but part of the problem remains - they are too narrow.

Is there something like a 150-160mm long grip? Everything seems to be about 135, and I’m just about going over the ends of those.

Niche issue, I know. Thick grip as well for the wishlist.

Have you thought about paddle style grips. ie Ergonomic or Bontrager. I have arthritis in my wrist and they help spread the weight on my hands.

Also, the grips sold for Jones bars are wider than anyone would need on a regular bar. They can be cut down.
