Strengths: Comfort, bolt-onBottom Line: They are a nice touch to my old Mountain bike I brought back to life with new rims, tires, chain, pedals and saddle. I don't do much off road but like doing paved trails and some gravel packed trail in my area. Once you get them positioned right they are great. they are sticky to start but after a few rides they break in nicely. Just bought a second pair for wifes bike and she really likes also. I love the Eco-friendly aspect and they work great also.

Strengths: comfort, love the vintage appearance, green factor is a nice touch...Weaknesses: weight, although I'm not too concerned about this...Bottom Line: I was experiencing discomfort and some pain while riding standard grips. The ulnar nerve, which Ergon claims to support, was taking some abuse during trail riding. I ride moderate-advanced technical terrain. The Oury's seemed to be as heavily padded as one can get in a standard grip. After about 2 years riding, I needed something more. The Ergons were instantly comfortable for me. There is a period of adjustment, as you fine tune the angle of the grip for maximum comfort, but even if not perfect they still take the sting out of standard round grips. There is a sure-handedness associated with these grips, like they fit better in your grasp and provide a more natural control of the bike. Plus the brown looks great with my brown spoon charge saddle on my root beer MCR. There are only 3 contact points between rider and bike...why not make them as comfortable as possible. Im surprised I don't see more Ergons at the trailhead. Value gets 4 chillis, as these are among the most expensive grips on the market. Overall gets a 5 because comfort outweighs price and heft.
