from DC Date Reviewed: October 5, 2009 Strengths: Using the lock-on version. Last grips you need. As the grips age, your sweat seems to slowly break them down, making them even stickier. They usually last for about 2-3 seasons. Weaknesses: Yes, when your hands sweat, your grips will become slippery. This is why we wear gloves. If your gloves are slipping off these grips, your gloves suck, not these grips. Seriously, if you are sweating so badly that you can't hold on to these sticky grips because of a sweating problem, I don't think any brand of grip is going to help you. You may just need to lash your wrists to the bars with a leather thong. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: GWNF Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $14.00 Similar Products Used: Only grips I've used that have stood out enough to remember Bike Setup: 29" HT.

from Perth, WA, Australia Date Reviewed: March 19, 2004 Strengths: [Review for Lock-On model.] -Lock-On security, ease fo use, installation. - +Grip. - Wide. - Neat and cheeky pepper design that also vent the grip. Weaknesses: - Wide, Lock-on grips don't fit on cramped riser bars. (WILL SOMEONE FROM GRIP-MAKING LAND PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE GRIPS IN THE DIFFERENT DESIGNS AND CONFIGURATION TO NOT LEAVE GRIPSHIFT USERS BEHIND DAZED AND FUSTRATED. Come on, you can't ignore it that there thousands of gripshift users, $$.) - Lock-On starters may be scared off by the premium. - Currently only comes in black only. - Lock-On's design does not allow dual density grip design for plush feel. (Back to the drawing board peoples.) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: A$59.95 at TBE Willetton Similar Products Used: - Standard (slips like a vaselin-covered bowling ball with bare sweating hands.) -MICHELIN grips (Ergonomics 101, dual density plushness, grips like hot racing tyres.) Bike Setup: Fat 30-35lb alloy XC hardtail AVANTI with 2002 ROCK SHOX Judy XC to replace the stock RST fork (Bad, Bad!)

from Jersey Date Reviewed: February 13, 2003 Strengths: Grip is the perfect size and shape for my hands! The slight bulge in the center conforms to the shape of your hands well. The raised peppers have grip, tackiness and provide comfort against vibration. The bar end caps are soft and fit the ends of your bars easy. They don't budge once their on. Reasonably priced. Nice colors available. Sharp-looking. Weaknesses: I wish they would last longer but they do last longer than most grips. They will wear out more if you ride w/ them wet. Otherwise they will last 6-7 months w/ everyday hard riding. Hard to get off once their on.
