Pros: Comfortable, great support, makes longer rides a bit easier to deal with.

Cons: Too comfortable, in that I start putting too much weight on my wrists.

Recommendation: These came mounted on my new (to me) bike, and I said I'd keep them there to see how they were. I've put 30 miles on so far and it has been... interesting. Definitely a different feel from normal grips, but they feel quite comfortable. They are on some extremely funky bars (On-one Mary), so I've changed a HUGE quantity of variable from my previous ride. I've found that I'm putting too much weight on my wrists, though I'm not sure if that is due to the grips or the extreme 40* sweep of the bars.

I'll continue to use them and may put them on some normal bars to see if I still like them. They are better than most, but not phenomenal for me.

Pros: Wrist support

Bar lock

Cons: None

Recommendation: I wished I had found the grip sooner, it has made my long rides more comfortable and I swear my handling skills have improved since the swap. I really love em.

Pros: Good feel for the climbs and resting on easy ride. Easy to install and adjust, locking into place without moving.

Cons: Grey colors turns a little darker after use, black would have been better.

Recommendation: I believe really helps for numbness issues, so if that is your problem get them.

Pros: Great feel, mostly eliminates the tingling and numbness I get most of the time.

Cons: When adjusted neutral for comfort, steep downhills can be a problem as the 'wings' prevent wrapping the heels of your hands lower on the grips.

Recommendation: Definitely recommended if you have any sort of numbness issues with your hands.

Pros: This a great grip! I love the cushioning and the ergonomic design. I bought them becaus I had numbness and pain in my hands on long rides. They have completely aleviated that pressure and discomfort.

Cons: nothing.

Recommendation: These are really great on long rides. On rough trails the cushion is soft and forgiving. A great buy!!
