Strengths:    Looks.

Weaknesses:    Design/Manufacture/Materials

Bottom Line:   
These grips don't last. They are two pieces of rubber (halves) glued around a hard plastic core. The rubber is fairly hard durometer (unlike all other grips I've used), and haven't softened up with use. I have gotten a lot more calloused with these grips, as they are hard....and they are slicker than ODIs rubber.

The clamp seems to work, but isn't as burly as ODI's system.

Where the two rubber "skins" meet (two lengthwise seams)....they are separating/peeling up out near the bar ends. Real POS grips in my book.

They look awesome on the store rack though....and that's where you should leave them....I am going back to ODIs, they know what they are doing!

Strengths:    Easy to get on and off, good and sticky

Weaknesses:    DO NOT overtighten the set screws!

Bottom Line:   
Love'em...their sticky, easy to take off or move around as needed, for example, with my Yeties, I would of had to cut them off and buy new ones to add on bar ends. With these, loosen the set screws, move'em and retighten the setscrews. No problems yet and a lot of hard riding in a short period of time.
