My hands are extremely sweaty. If your hands are sweaty, these can be loose and slick.
Yes. Since the invention of white bread, this is the best thing that has happened to mankind. Blisters are no longer an issue. 100% a must have on every one of my atvs
My order included two grips, but only two bar clamps (one for each grip), as well as end caps. The grips are a nice pattern, but due to the missing order, I'll have to return them.
With the clamps in place, I measure 5 5/16" in width. This is fantastic.

This is a fantastic set of grips. They are soft on my hands and stick to them like glue, reducing numbness from long rides. Even when the grips are wet, they provide a secure grip for my hands. Because I sweat a lot, I'm hoping that this will continue to be the case when summer arrives. The latches- The grips are simple to install and remove thanks to the ons. There's no need to shimmy the grips on and off with rubbing alcohol or anything like that. My only gripe is that two of the lock-sets were missing from my initial shipment. on the clamps This does not appear to be a common occurrence based on other comments. My replacements, on the other hand, arrived very quickly (the next day). Hopefully, they look into this, because there is nothing else to complain about.
I purchased these grips after experiencing a lot of numbness and discomfort with my new mountain bike, even on short rides. I switched from an XC bike to a trail bike, and I believe the geometry has me putting a lot more weight on my wrists and hands, causing them to go numb and painful after a couple miles. I was initially dissatisfied because these grips did not appear to solve my problem. I'd already tried a few different grips, so I just assumed numb hands were part of the deal and gave up and left these on the bike. br>br>Fast forward a few months and I can tell these grips are much softer than when they arrived. When they were new, compressing them was difficult, but now they squish and move a lot more - I mean that in a positive way! I didn't realize grips had a break-in period, but these took a few months to soften up, and I now really like them. I can also tell a significant difference between these and my previous XR Trail Comp grips. The numbness and pain haven't completely gone away, but they no longer interfere with my riding, which is probably all I can hope for. Those who ride with pain or numbness in their wrists/hands, those who have larger hands, or those who simply want a chunkier grip that grabs onto their riding gloves should consider these grips. Allow these grips to soften up for a couple of months. I believe you will be pleased once they do.
For the past few years, I've used these grips on all of my mountain bikes. They've proven to be the most comfortable grip I've ever used - Because I have larger hands, and most grips don't have the same diameter as these, I chose this option. They're also made of a soft, grippy rubber that effectively absorbs minor vibrations. It's grippy enough to use with your hands alone, but it's even better with a pair of gloves. br>br>As an added bonus, they have a variety of color locks that you can match to your bike. If you're having trouble finding thick grips for your bear paws, give them a try!.
These grips are superb! I'd been using the ODI Troy Lee grips for quite some time and was looking for something with a little more "give. " I do a lot of downhill riding, and the extra padding in these really helps. They're extremely comfortable for long days on the trail and provide adequate grip even when your hands are wet or sweaty. br>br>I'm taking a star off because the colored lock collar racket is an absolute rip-off. We cyclists are suckers for anything anodized, so the fact that a set of replacement locking collars in a different color costs nearly as much (if not more) than the entire set is a clear cash grab. (Of course, I fell for it anyway, because I'm one of those suckers, as are you. ).
On and off the trails and roads, I've broken in a dozen different types of grips. I have more hand pain than most people, so I wear the thickest, most padded gloves I can find? In? These are actually quite good. They're thicker and less sticky than some other designs that I eventually came to dislike, and they lock well with serviceable endcaps. I use dedicated bar ends on the trail, but removing them requires an extra step. They're more than adequate for commuting and don't rattle or spin when the grip is firmly gripped. They've been hit a few times but haven't broken or appeared to be damaged. Because of the connecting flanges on the grip, I wish the bolt positions along the lockrings weren't mated with each other. If you don't rotate the grip at just the right odd angle when installing, the bolts will irritate you. It's just barely workable the way it is, and it seems like a glaring oversight to me on an otherwise good product; it could just be flush in there. Finally, I'll never use this grip again because ergonomic grips are simply superior in every way. I currently use the Entrac Lock On, which is available on Amazon for a lower price. The extra pile of rubber on the end doesn't feel flimsy and absorbs impacts much better; I'm now able to wear regular, barely padded gloves without issue. It also rotates your overall grip position outwards, straightening your wrists and resulting in a much more natural, stronger, and pain-free grip. It only has one bolt to lock on, which works fine; the bolt is out of the way and has a larger head, allowing you to crank it on much harder without damaging the head, which is a risk with ODI lockrings. They stopped looking silly after a day of using ergonomic grips, and I'm never going back.
