$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Genesis | | Strengths: | Excellent grip, not too bulky. They don't slide on the bar when wet. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Coda weave | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale f800, LX/XT Drivetrain | | Bottom Line: | I bought these with the hope that they were going to provide more grip than the Coda weave grips. They did and I'm happy. End of story. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Doctor, Arnold, MD | | Strengths: | Great control, sticks well to bars, sharp colors. | | Weaknesses: | Little or no shock absorption. | | Similar Products Used: | Pedro's Prayer Stix, ODI Lockjaws, Profile Dual Density | | Bike Setup: | Steel Hardtail w/flat bars and barends | | Bottom Line: | If you ride techical, East Coast trails, these grips are great. The rings act like little suction cups, giving you awesome bar control while keeping your hands relaxed. The only downside is, I ride these grips with a padded glove to take up some of the shock - they have little shock absorbing ability, which can be a good or a bad thing. These grips, while a bit pricy, have survived 2 years of rugged use - so from that point of view, they are a good deal. Also, they stick to aluminum bars better than any other besides Lockjaws - a little hairspray, and nothing knocks 'em loose. All in all, a great technical XC grip. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$10.00 | | Purchased At: | Innes Bicycles | | Strengths: | A very good grip, has survived numerous reinstallations without slipping all over the place. Harsh on the hands as I found out, good with gloves. | | Bike Setup: | GT, Zaskar, Psylo XC | | Bottom Line: | Good grips, just use it with gloves. Very tough, and dosen't start tearing like alot of the more gummy grips with repeated installation. Seemed expensive at first but is paying itself off already. Nice semi-transparent yellow colour too yeeehar | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
