Strengths: Thin, Durable, Grippy, Good feel, Stay in placeWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: I love these grips. They stay put even after 18 miles on a soaked race course. Good grip, very tacky. Thin enough to let you feel in control, but spongy enough to give some shock absorption. Great for small hands. Very durable. Best grips I've found since my Onza Porcipaws.

Strengths: very tough, covers end of bar, sticks like glue, incredably grippy, nice length and good width...Weaknesses: can be bad on bare hands.. but that's also a good point.. you can't have hard wearing without a hard compound.Bottom Line: very tough grip. If you like your grips to be solid and let you klnow what your bike is doing, this is exactly what you want. In britian we are forced to pay a bit more than in america, but I rekon that these are worht the extra cash.
After a bit of time (it's been 8 months of very hard and long rides for me) they will start to wear wherever you put the most pressure on them. Turn them through 90 degrees.. and carry on. I use these on all of my bikes.. cos I rekon that they are the best.
Favorite Trail: anything fast, and near vertical., and anything that has the words 'Doubles' and 'Big' in it.

Strengths: (+)Grippy
(+)Not too thick
(+)Not too thin
(+)Comfortable
(+)Priced-rightWeaknesses: (-)Not flashy. It simply does it's job. (I know, it's a stretch, but I had to come up with something)Bottom Line: Performs as well as you could expect. No problems keeping my hands on the grips during butt-puckering descents. No discomfort or blisters on long rides. These grips haven't twisted on the bars. They show no real sign of wear. No damage during any of my unplanned dismounts.
What more could you want for a 10-spot?

Strengths: Inexpensive, good design, doesn't fatigue your hands, doesn't shedWeaknesses: none!Bottom Line: These are great grips! They don't shed, your hands don't slip even if they sweat! Sure, they don't look all flashy and colored like some others, but form follows function. They're nice and soft too!
