I love the design, devil on one side and angle on the other, and the red color looks sweet on the all black bike. Bottom line though these things work sweet and the price is pretty cheap so you wont worry as much about when you have to replace them. Only down side was they were a pain in the ass to put on, had to use WD-40 to slip them on. Im giving them a perfect score.

The Thickness is also great for my large hands and shock absorbing. My only complaint would be the textured area that your fingers touch could use a few more ridges of rubber to help give you a stickier feeling. Haven't had long enough to find the durability. They are also a little hard to find. Great grip!

Weaknesses:
Too thick, too squishy, and have an annoying tendency to slide around even though they're tightly wired down to my handlebar.
These grips just didn't suit me very well. I have small hands, so it's difficult for me to feel comfortable wrapping my fingers around these grips. People with larger hands will be able to hold these grips comfortable, but I cannot. I also cannot get past the excessive squishiness of the rubber. I find it annoying that the grips turn and twist around, especially because they have an asymmetrical design pattern on them. Just an aesthetic problem though. 5 flamin' turd-balls for value because they were cheap and worked well for a long time, 3 for overall because they didn't suit me very well and are too squishy.

These are huge grips. Really thick, really comftorable. I had trouble getting the one to stick on ( i got one to stick perfect with hairspray) The other i tried everything, soaking in water, alcohol, hairspray.. Then i got this idea, i had a can of photo mount spray glue. I put hairspray on the bar, and sprayed a bit of photo mount spray glue into the grip and slid it on real quick. I hope that provides all the stiction it needs, it so far feels great.
These grips are fattys, lot thicker than my old bontragers, definatly feels nice to get your hand around them with or without gloves. Rock on.

I have to agree with the other review, in that I did loose some "feel" for the terrain. Or maybe its just that I dont feel every bump vibrate through my hands & arms, causing fatigue and pain anymore.
Only downside I can think of is that they slip a little easy around my bar.

Strengths:
Size, feel
Weaknesses:
Weight (about 100g's)
Similar Products Used:
Too many to remember
Bike Setup:
Rocky Mtn Vertex - Pretty Stock
Bottom Line:
Bolt on a Bel-Air Saddle (or equivalent) and slide these on and you have the Lincoln Continential of Mountain Bikes, talk about comfort! Running about 20g heavier than the average grip these will make the rickety racer type cringe in pain but will put a smile on everyone elses raceface. If you have big hands or just want to absorb more shock the GOOD/EVILS are the best in the market, and damn do they look good!

Been using them for just over 1 month. Put them over a CT2 bar, had to cut the end covers off to install bar ends. Grips really absorb everything.
