Sensus Lite run the other way around and end cut off?

Looks like Reed Boggs bike (Yeti + dual crown).

Lite — Sensus
It's everything you want in a grip, and less!' The Sensus Lite is brewed with the traditional Sensus pattern but with tighter and smaller ribs. This creates less "float" but still provides the unsurpassed grip, comfort and vibration damping that Sensus has grown synonymous with. 132mm

Those look like cut push ons
If you have a local Trek dealer, check their Bontrager grip selection. I have a set of older, single sided lock-ons that look like these:

They have a inner plastic sleeve, but it has big holes. When they mold them, quite a bit of the rubber touches the bar, giving them more cushion than usual for such a thin lock-on grip.

Then the inner flange is cut off. The pic from the ad looks like lock-ons though.
No inner sleeve is kinda a give away to not being a lock on and the rough cut indicates they're Swayze push ons with the flanges cut off.
Could be wrong but in the pic in the first post the end of the grip/bar (rider's right) looks to me more like the plastic end cap of the push ons rather than their metal lock on collar. and the inboard end also looks thinner on the bar than a cut lock on would be.
[EDIT] He was running cut Swayze's here on an SB140 so it's def something he does.

If you want really great performing thin ribbed lock on's Sensus Lite's are the best I've ever used. Just perfect for me in all conditions. The only downside to them is not lasting all that long. at 29mm diameter if your preference is for even thinner grips than that your only option is going to be push-ons. Swayze push ons are great grips too but push ons just aren't a sensible best choice for all weather year round UK riding

I normally don't love Yeti's but that is shiny
Have you considered just plastidiping your bars? Like the actual tool grip dip and not the spray? If you're that obsessed with thin grips.
For more reasonable thin grips, I think the factory Santa Cruz ones are the best, I have to keep buying my wife bikes to keep grips supplied for my trail bike. But they kill me on the DH bike, the tiny diameter + braking so much = hurt hands.

i don’t really have anything to add I just want to make sure you can’t edit it later.
