Grips are one of the most personal choice items it's possible to put on a bike. What might be stickier than a limpet in a treacle factory to one rider will simply not work for another. As such, there's a huge spread of tread patterns, durometers and thicknesses on the market to theoretically suit every rider out there.
However, if you're the kind of rider that's stuck with one grip through and through, this may not be the quiz for you. Only the most knowledgeable grip specialists will be able to post a top score in Pinkbike's "Name that Grip" contest. The rules are simple: No web-surfing for clues.

It's the thin profile and super sticky compound that's worth the hassle.
Durometer // 25a
Length // 146mm
Diameter// 33mm
End Clamp // Split-Teardrop
Weight // 148g/pair
No idea where the 33mm is measured, but the bulge really helps with arm pump for me.
I have ODI Rogue on my dirt bike...which are also 33mm and they reduce arm pump compared to the Protaper Pillowtop Grips I had before when I developed horrible elbow tendonitis
