HP-Grand Ridge RT-HP Extra Chunky is not normally a good thing, especially when associated with cycling. I replaced the solid rubber grips on the hardtail with ESI Extra Chunky silicon foam grips. What a difference! The suspension fork on a hardtail does the same job as on an FS bike, but there is a lot more shock felt throughout the whole bike, including the front end. The cushioned grips really take a lot of the sting out of the handlebar. Less shock means better trail feel and a smoother ride.
