$8.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Thin, Durable, Grippy, Good feel, Stay in place | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | bontrager, odi, answer, ritchey, onza | | Bike Setup: | daVinci Designs FS, Icon, Dean, Ame', SRAM, Avid, Cane Creek, IRD, Delta, DT Hugi, daVinci Designs, IRC, Inmotion, Action-Tec, Race Face | | Bottom Line: | I love these grips. They stay put even after 18 miles on a soaked race course. Good grip, very tacky. Thin enough to let you feel in control, but spongy enough to give some shock absorption. Great for small hands. Very durable. Best grips I've found since my Onza Porcipaws. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | many places | | Strengths: | very tough, covers end of bar, sticks like glue, incredably grippy, nice length and good width... | | Weaknesses: | can be bad on bare hands.. but that's also a good point.. you can't have hard wearing without a hard compound. | | Similar Products Used: | loads. | | Bike Setup: | 14" hardtail BSX/Dual/DH/Duel bike Hope Disks on bulb hubs with D321's Z1 Dropoffs etc... | | Bottom Line: | very tough grip. If you like your grips to be solid and let you klnow what your bike is doing, this is exactly what you want. In britian we are forced to pay a bit more than in america, but I rekon that these are worht the extra cash.
After a bit of time (it's been 8 months of very hard and long rides for me) they will start to wear wherever you put the most pressure on them. Turn them through 90 degrees.. and carry on. I use these on all of my bikes.. cos I rekon that they are the best. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
