Coming as stock on the Scott Gambler this is a good thickness grip for most riders. Surprisingly the Scott’s are good in the wet too. Better for riders with bigger hands they are also dual density.          www.syncros.com   £16.99

Offering the widest surface area and still going strong, the DMR is a classic that’s not leaving our list anytime soon. Good compound, good waffle and hard wearing. Wire on, modify the flange if you need. Bang on.  www.dmr.com          £8.99

Light, well thought out and superb in the wet, the Griddle is a good old British grip. Try the Skillet as a sweaty hot summer day option.            www.chargebikes.com      £17.99

Love the grip on these Kevlar grips in the dry. If you need to spend time on compounds then look no further. Shame they didn’t transfer the waffle design from their tried, tested and vast motocross collection.           www.renthalcycling.com    £9.99
