In order for you to ride your best you have to have a good grip on the handlebars. Here is a selection of grips for bikes with flat handlebars.

Ergon - GP1 Ergonomic Lock-on Bicycle Handlebar Grips | Regular, Gripshift, or Rohloff/Nexus Compatible | for Hybrid, E-Bikes, and Mountain Bikes | Two Sizes | Black/Gray

Great durability

Made of a German rubber compound with aluminum clamps to secure to the bar, these grips will stay intact over many comfortable miles. Ergon

If you have noticed your hands getting sore or tired from riding on your bike, these might be the best grips to upgrade to. Unlike a standard grip that requires a full clasp of the bar, these grips are designed so that your palms rest on the flat section while your fingers grasp around the bar. The result is a more ergonomically sound position that can greatly increase hand comfort over long distances.

You won’t have to worry about your hands slipping off the bars, as this pattern allows for a firm grip, even in the rain.
