I also second the GP2's I started out initially with a 2013 8.4 DS, and after about a half dozen rides the isozone grips would have a little bit of "Play" as I hadn't cycled for close to 25 years I was nervous and put a fair bit of force when gripping the bars and was able to cause them to get loose. No amount of torque or adjustment could get them solid tight again. (Looking at how they were designed there was only a clamp atone location). Since getting the GP2's I really have enjoyed the flexibility of being able to change hand positions as I ride.
