from Guelph, OntarioDate Reviewed: April 5, 2002
Strengths: long, thin but very soft, dual compound (harder rubber ont he ends) solid end (no end plugs to fight with and lose. raised bumps on the ends to prevent hands from slipping off the bars.
they stick to the bars (no slipping yet even though ive had the same pair off and on 6 times and on different bars.Weaknesses: zip, they are the perfect gripBottom Line: I love the width, ive always felt cramped ont eh bars with all the controls in the way even with thumbshifters (rapid mis-fire is even worse). the long grips work very well with my braking style (1 finger, index only).
they really make it hard to ride with any other grip, everything else pales in comparison.
the bumps at the ends of the grips have saved my neck a few times (youll know what i mean if youve ever slipped off the end of your handlebar!!!).

Strengths:
Soft, sticky, durable, extra-long, they look sweet!Weaknesses:
None!Bottom Line: What can I say? These are definately the best grips I've used. I've crashed lots, and they still remain in one piece! They're really long and sticky, so your hands naver slip off.

Strengths:
--Long & sticky!(I know what yer thinkin', so just fergit it)...Weaknesses:
--Nada.Bottom Line: Excellent feel and grip. I keep 'em on for everything from downhill bombing to street riding. Good looks. These are about 5 and a half inches long, so I didn't have to trim down the Monkey Lite to make everything fit = more control, less hassle. The closed ends are great too, 'cause I don't use bar-ends. But 'em if you need this type of grip.
Duration Product Used:
less than 1 month
