Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Strengths:
Nice looks, more durable bar ends than odi
Weaknesses:
Delicate grips, easy to rip, the locks were supposedly compatible with carbon bars yet after a very light and slow speed fall they managed to rip a hole in my monkey lite DH bars!!! Used it for over 1 year and no problems even after heavy bails with odi grips.
Similar Products Used:
Different Odi models, Some BBB
Bike Setup:
Lapierre Dh-230, 888rc2x, Easton Monkey lite dh
Bottom Line:
If you use aluminium bars they are quite good as they shouldn't injure your bars but bear in mind the grips themselves are not as durable as odi.

Strengths:
Great lock on the handle bar. cool color and great grip.

Bottom Line:
This was the first pair of lock-on grips that i've owned and they work awesome. I used my sixsixone sponsorship to get these at a discounted price, i would recommend trying to get them discounted. I had a little trouble at first figuring out how the system worked but it is very simple. I got them in white and have been trying to keep them clean ever since. They work great for xc, that is if your not concerned with weight.
