Strengths:    WHEN YOU PUT THEM ON THEY DON'T SLIP AROUND.THEY STAY TACKIE.GRIPS GOOD TO YOUR GLOVES.GREAT WHEN IT'S WET

Bottom Line:

I RACE WITH THE AXO DEFENDER GLOVES,AND THEY HAVE A KEVLER PALM THAT EATS THE HELL OUT OF GRIPS.THIS GRIP WENT SUPER FAST.IF YOU WANT THE BEST GRIP FOR THE MONEY, GO WITH THE OURY GRIPS.

Submitted by Rich a Cross Country Rider from Houghton, MI

Date Reviewed: September 5, 2001

Strengths:    Inexpensive, variariety of colors, sticky

Weaknesses:    The grips are very sticky, and in warm weather if you take a digger in some dirt, the dirt will stick to your grips.

Bottom Line:

The CODA weaves were wearing out and starting to slip, so I picked these up cheap. The blue grip looks cool on my bike, and the grip works great. So slippage. It is a good grip at a fair price, and looks good to boot.

Date Reviewed: January 20, 2000

Strengths:    grippy
Size of the grips ( diameter)

Weaknesses:    chewed them up in a BIG crash

Bottom Line:

This is a great grip however the thickness of the grip does not suit all people ( A friend of mine got a set and didn't like them at all) Really like these grips but when the time comes to replace them I think ill go with some OURY grips cause I really like them as well.

Strengths:    sticky as hell
won't slip(use hairspray)
visually stimulating
not too fat, not too thin
value

Weaknesses:    none

Bottom Line:

Really nice grips, the top layer has a little give to it but that's better than pulling the palm right off your hand( they're that sticky). If they break down suddenly, i'll send another review, but until then, 5 flamin cigs

Strengths:
Durable, great color selection.

Bottom Line:

What do you say about grips? They either suit you or they don't! These grips work fine, look great, come in a bunch of colors. They wear just like any other grips.
