Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$24.00
Purchased At:
Action Bikes
Strengths:
Strong clamping system, soft sticky rubber.
Weaknesses:
Might wear quicker than others (based on rubber durometer).
Similar Products Used:
ODI Rogues, Odyssey, T.H.E.
Bike Setup:
DB XTS-3, SingleTrack rims, WTB MR 2.4", Avid Discs
Bottom Line:
The soft, sticky, GRIPPY rubber is great (IMO), but the soft/sticky durometer will sacrifice life of the grip (mine lasted over a year)....so if you know this at time of purchase you shouldn't end up disappointed.
These break in fast, and STICK to gloves. I am going back to these (on sale cheap at Jenson right now), after the cruddy T.H.E. grips I bought are coming apart (see my review).
I like ODI products on my MTB and my BMX cruiser, I am going to stick to these (or the Rogue/Ruffians), I liked the open square design on the fingertip side of these Intense grips though.

Price Paid:

Purchased At:

Strengths:
ODI locks is a good design. Great when replacing cockpit componentry. No need to cut your grips off
Weaknesses:
Wear really fast. Grip small in diameter for larger hands.
Similar Products Used:
Lizard Skins North Shores and are compatible with ODI locks.
I have used Liz Skin Northshores for a few years, same gripes with little to no wear. These ODI intenses, I have used for basically 1 month and the grip wear is astounding thus far. Slightly smaller in diamter than the Northshores, thus the forearm muscles get a little more tension.
Whether you get ODI or other lock ons, you'll like the fact that you don't have to deal with cutting off the grips when you upgrade pr change out some handlebars or components
