| Strengths: |
This product is a very good design, especially for those who use carbon bars. If anyone has used ODI grips, there downfall is the very small screws on the clamps, which are notorious for breaking. This does away with that issue. And it even comes with a wrench (that has a torque wrench attachment). They are quite slim, which helps reduce arm pump, and fatigue when braking. |
| Weaknesses: |
The only issue I've noticed is that the grips could be a bit wider, maybe even a centimeter or less. |
| Similar Products Tried: |
ODI, WTB, just about every grip made |
| Bike Setup: |
Santa Cruz VP Free- Chris King, 888 Rc, Nokian 3.0, Juicy 7 brakes w/ 8" rotors, Thompson post, ect.
XCR 1000 Team: XT/XTR mix
GT Lightning Ti: XT/XTR, Raceface, Mavic Crosslands Tubeless, Carbon bar |
| Bottom Line: |
A new standard in lock on grips...good deal too. One off for the narrow portion (even though they are no narrower than others, it may just be the clamps that get in the way a bit |
