Edit – I've gone left of field and plumped for some of these, cause I just fell in love with both the look and, won't lie, the price:
Hi,
I recently got my new Brompton (Low c line) and wanted to swap out the handlebar grips.
Was looking at either the Brooks ergo grips to match my saddle (dark brown) or some of the Ergon grips to give a larger variety of positions (I am a drop handlebar person usually).
Anyone have any experience of either of these? Are the Brooks going to survive a British climate? Do the Ergon ones interfere with the folding? Would the Biokork ones look awful with a brown saddle? Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

The Ergon grips provide very good support to the palms, such as the Ergon GP1 or Ergon GA3. The GP2 and GP3 horn grips, generally fold well (depends on the actual set position of uprightness).

I’ve had the brooks ergon on my Brompton for two years, ridden most days all year round, rain or shine, zero special treatment. They’re fine.
