Strengths: Comfortable, Comfortable, Comfortable. The perfect grip.
Weaknesses: I dont understand the question?
Bottom Line:
(review for the lock on style oury) Perfect Grip. I wont use anything but these ever again. They do wear a little fast but its only because they are soft but thats hardly a problem for as cheap as they are.
Strengths: Awesome when they're dry (4.5 out of 5 if rating them dry). Tacky, and soft enough to make them super comfortable.
Weaknesses: Terrible when wet (1 out of 5). Technical downhill sections become way scarier. Also, first time these hit a rock or tree too hard, the ends will tear.
Bottom Line:
Great grips for dry winter rides, but terrible in rain or super, hot and humid conditions when sweat becomes an issue.

Strengths: tacky, durable, great colors
Weaknesses: could be wider, and installation can be annoying
Bottom Line:
Great grips but if you have wide hands might be a probable,but if you have long finger they are great. Installation isnt bad if you use some dish soap might rotate on you the first 1-2 days but after that they stay put if not take them off and wipe off your bar. Great grips, get them!

Bottom Line:
Best grips ever!!! Soft and sticky, but extremely durable. I ride the non-lock grips on my hardtail and the Oury lock-ons on my FS. If you have big hangs and are tired of your hands getting tired, get these!

Strengths: Looks, the right compound to make hands feel good, USE end caps under the grips, so the ends don't get a hole.
Weaknesses: None for me..
Bottom Line:
I started using these grips 40 yrs ago when they came out for Motocross bikes, they were great then and now, use end caps under the grips, so you don't get a hole in the end, to remove just lift and squirt some windex in the open end then let them dry good before reinstalling. They work thats the bottom line..oh and they look good, clean up easy.

Bottom Line:
These are by far the best grips EVER. I've been using them for at least two years, and I've never had to replace them. They are great for ANY type of riding. I, personally, ride urban and dirt jumping mainly. These grips can handle anything from city streets to dirt jumps to mountain trails to snow to rain to sun. I HIGHLY recommend Oury grips.

Strengths: Thick. Nice colours. Soft.
Weaknesses: Not wide enough for big hands.
Bottom Line:
I bought these as all reviews and forum posts I could find recommended these grips for riders with big hands. They measure appox 120mm wide (or is that length?), but the part designed for your hand to hold onto is only 100mm wide. Maybe I'm some sort of freak, but my hands are wider than 100mm.
So I have gone back to my old ragged Race Face grips that are about 135mm wide and a little thicker than the Ourys too.

Strengths: Inexpensive, light weight, soft rubber good on hands, very grippy
Weaknesses: gets dirty very easy, too soft rubber wears a hole too quickly
Bottom Line:
The Oury MTB grips were used on a '08 Redline Monocog 29er.
These Oury slip on grips are probably the best slip on grips in the market. Its inexpensive, light and comes in different colors to match your bike, and now including glow in the dark. The soft rubber absorb some vibration and is very grippy even when wet or with bare hands.
Because of the tacky rubber material, it gets dirty very easily. Handlebar ends will also cookie cut a hole through the soft and thin rubber of the grips easily too.
Installation was easy, one side just needed glass cleaner and the other side hairspray. The side that installed with glass cleaner did twist a tad but that was probably due to rider's death grip (Loaned the bike). The side that installed with hairspray did not twist or throttle but took a day under the sun to dry.
Before installing on the bike, drop a dime inside the grip. That will prevent the handlebars from eating through the grip ends.
These are the next best thing to lock on Oury grips!

No need to have gel gloves with these grips...I lost a lot of feel when I wore gel gloves with these. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of gel gloves anyhow.

Strengths: Soft without being weak or wearing out too easily.
Weaknesses: Not easy to install, but then again they don't slide around.
Bottom Line:
These are really comfortable grips without being too squishy. I install them with a blast of contact cleaner and they slip on then get tacky. I add a little stainless safety wire to each end since I tend to tear off the ends often, even with bar-end inserts. They're about the same diameter as a lot of street motorcycle grips so they feel natural to me. Don't be afraid to try different grips til you find what you like. Its one of the cheapest things to change on your bike and can make a real difference in how you feel when you ride.
