| Duration Product Used: | 1 Year |
| Price Paid: | $7 |
| Purchased At: | LBS |
| Strengths: | They are great for smaller hands. |
| Weaknesses: | They are too hard after a while and can be hard to grip when wet. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Adura stock grips, CODA Stock grips (Weave Pattern) |
| Bottom Line: | These looked the best grips to me at the time I was browsing the stores. Back then I didn't know why you'd want raised pattern grips but now I do. I was riding in light rain and when these grips got wet I twisted my wrist a little trying to hold on to them. Also they feel really hard compared to others. Now I have CODA stock grips with a weave pattern and they seem ok for my smaller hands. I'd have liked Oury's but they are a bit too chunky for me at this stage. Grips are cheap so buy em, try em, trash em. : ) Good value, but not great for MTB'ing really, unless you like dry weather street riding I guess. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Algonquin... |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Strengths: | Light for a rubber grip, great fit, grips the bar so well I'll have to cut it off, NO SLIPPAGE WHATSOEVER |
| Weaknesses: | None, as long as you wear padded gloves... I recommend OGC |
| Similar Products Tried: | GT, Profile |
| Bike Setup: | GT Palomar HT, Scott Hot Rod Handlebar, Titec Post and Seat, Syncros Ti Q/Rs, LX/XT, Club Roost Grips |
| Bottom Line: | I bought these grips on sale for $5.99CDN (about $3 American). They are pretty hard, but that gives a little better steering precision. They fit my hand well, and are a great length. I used extra-hold hair spray to put them on, and now they don't slip at all. If I ever want to take them off, I'll have to cut them off.... But for 5.99, I don't care. Buy these grips, you can't go wrong with them. As long as you use Rapidfire. |
