Bottom Line:
These grips would be fine if they didn't move up and down on the bars. They are meant to fit and support your hand, but since they move, they don't really do what they are supposed to. Buy the eragon locking version of these if you want a grip like this. I didn't find them too good for aggressive riding, because they force you to grab the bar a certain way and this changes as the grips move. These style grips are meant for lolly gagging and taking it easy, not jumps, stunts, and aggressive xc riding. I guess I will switch to regular grips and deal with the numb fingers and sore wrists. I really wanted these to work.
