    Favorite Trail:Mt. Tom, Arcadia, RI
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $12.00
    Purchased At:Bike Doctor, Arnold, MD
    Strengths:Great control, sticks well to bars, sharp colors.
    Weaknesses:Little or no shock absorption.
    Similar Products Used:Pedro's Prayer Stix, ODI Lockjaws, Profile Dual Density
    Bike Setup:Steel Hardtail w/flat bars and barends
    Bottom Line:If you ride techical, East Coast trails, these grips are great. The rings act like little suction cups, giving you awesome bar control while keeping your hands relaxed. The only downside is, I ride these grips with a padded glove to take up some of the shock - they have little shock absorbing ability, which can be a good or a bad thing. These grips, while a bit pricy, have survived 2 years of rugged use - so from that point of view, they are a good deal. Also, they stick to aluminum bars better than any other besides Lockjaws - a little hairspray, and nothing knocks 'em loose. All in all, a great technical XC grip.

    Date Reviewed: November 22, 2000
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $10.00
    Purchased At:Innes Bicycles
    Strengths:A very good grip, has survived numerous reinstallations without slipping all over the place. Harsh on the hands as I found out, good with gloves.
    Bike Setup:GT, Zaskar, Psylo XC
    Bottom Line:Good grips, just use it with gloves. Very tough, and dosen't start tearing like alot of the more gummy grips with repeated installation. Seemed expensive at first but is paying itself off already. Nice semi-transparent yellow colour too yeeehar
