"The chunky boi Death Grips were not my cup of tea, as I personally prefer a very thin grip (I’d run hockey tape if my joints would tolerate it)." - Agree totally with the XL Death Grips - thanks for assuming that a rider on an L or XL had catcher's mittens for hands!
The slimmest awesome grips currently available are called LoamLab grips - you're welcome.
"The Deity Skywire handlebar looks the business with slick graphics and a flex pattern that falls somewhere between “quite stiff” and “Good lord, is that really necessary?”." - my experience exactly. Another attempt at a fan boi pleasing 35 mm handlebar that might be suitable for a WC level DH racer who only has to hold on for 3-6 minutes.
