Has anyone tried the new 2016 grips?

[chucked]

I've always had a problem with my hands cramping up on long rides. Really curious on hearing some input on the new grips. Maybe some people from closer to the equator or southern hemisphere?

I have installed them but not ridden with them yet. I sat on the ski to see what they felt like and I was impressed. They basically support your wrist as compared to you having to hold on to support your wrists.

There is a complete thread on this under "New thumb flange handlebar grips".

Has photos, instructions and comments.

Ohh, ok was wondering what that meant. Checking it out now.

I have a set I'm retrofitting to my 97 spx. Gonna see how they work out as I've only seen them on late model 4 strokes so far.

Go look at my thread.

I tried them on a 2001 GTX with a thumb throttle and they are out of position to reach the throttle.

Thanks. Mines a modded spx though with umi, aftermarket bars, and finger throttle.
