from IsraelDate Reviewed: April 10, 2011
Strengths: Very comfortable, Thick and provides good cushion that helps keep the hands relaxed (for my average sized hands), yet not too much that it will become wierd. Excellent grip (very sticky, but in a good way).Weaknesses: Bar ends rubber get clipped, so you will need to put bar plugs at some time.
Hard to clean, but thats not really an issue with MTB...
Sticky rubber is not very fun to ride without gloves (not really an issue either, right?)Bottom Line: Great grips for AM. Great hand cushioning and excellent grip.
Not the most durable, but neither are they too expensive to replace...

Strengths: Comfortable, grippy, decent looksWeaknesses: Product is not precisely symmetrical, one side is different from the other, other than that nothing. I am just obsessive compulsiveBottom Line: Great product for a great value. Fits my monkey paws well and reduces the numbness I was experiencing prior to buying these.

Strengths: -Grippy/Tacky
-Perfectly squishyWeaknesses: -no lock on
-feels a little heavy
Bottom Line: fits my grip pretty well. very comfortable. One side of the grip keeps spinning but has not moved or positioned out of the bars. I love the scheme how one grip is good (angel) and the other grip is evil (devil). It just adds more personality to it.

Strengths: Grippy, long lastingWeaknesses: none so farBottom Line: The grips really perform. They are still very grippy after one year and they look good as well. I do see a slight deteration from the grips but this pair will likely last me another year.
I would buy these grips again.

Strengths: Sticky grips. Squishy soft for hands.Weaknesses: Sometimes my palms get numb.Bottom Line: Super great grip. My hands don't slip anywhere and they haven't slipped on my bars at all. My only qualm is that sometimes my hands get a little numb. I think that's more from putting my weight on them going down hill.

Strengths: Grippy, Sticky, Oversized(but not too much)Weaknesses: None yetBottom Line: Use rubbing alcohol to install grips. Fill up the resevior and proceed to impale onto the handle bar. works great. The grips are grippy, work as spected, a little oversized. Worth the $7-8 pricetag.....
