You like a soft and cushy? I'm running ODI Cush grips on my 796 and am mostly pleased - huge difference from stock. I still want something even softer so I'm going mountain bike grips next time around...nothing compares for comfort. I have Eastern Fuquay-Flyer grips on my mountain bike and they are amazing - they will end up on the 796 eventually.
I've actually never tried soft grips but I've never had issues with the stock ones either. Will see if I can find some to feel.
I have the Rizoma grips. They completely replace the grips with a metal tube and rubber area. Not real cushy, but I like them...
I was searching thru the forum and I kept hearing about issues with the rizoma grips? Something about a cheap part that would fail. So I didn't bother researching into them more.
Thanks! I'll try to check these out also
