Model/Year: 2012

Pros: They have excellent grip and look good.

Cons: They are a bit on the thin and hard side.

Recommendation: These are good grips for shorter rides and offer great feel because of how thin they are. However, they will not be the most comfortable on extended rides or over very rough trails. If you have sensative hands or wirst problems beware!

Model/Year: Patriot Limited Edition

Pros: Light, secure, and provide a great grip.

Cons: Don't provide much in the way of comfort.

Recommendation: If you're not looking for a good grip for marathon comfort, this is a great way to go. If you have sensitive hands or forearms, you might want something more ergonomic.

Pros: Easy to install, locking collars come in many colors.

Cons: To thin and not enough cushion for my liking.

Recommendation: I found these grips to be a little to narrow for my hands. On the other hand they do grip very well for not having much meat to them. I've order a set of Rogue's to see how they feel.

Pros: No slippage - grip to bar OR grip to hand. Lightweight.

Cons: Not a ton of padding - can get uncomfortable on long rides.

Recommendation: Great value for a lock-on grip.

Pros: Great structure to the grip. I have NEVER had my hand slip on these grips.

Cons: Even with gloves, these grips give me callouses like no other! I even developed a blood blister on my hand after one exceptionally long day of riding

Recommendation: Overall, a great grip. You won't slip with these guys. Dry or wet, and even muddy, I've never had a problem with grip. I suppose these grips just aren't for me though seeing as that my hands take a beating while using them.

Pros: Very tacky, even without gloves on. Non-slip lock ons!

Cons: They wear relatively fast

Recommendation: I'll buy'em again when my current pair wears out. I highly recommend 'em.

Pros: Very tacky for supreme control, ease of removal and swap out, great for the smaller hands though.

Cons: Wear out fast from constant use.

Recommendation: Great grips for the gravity, freeriders, and DJ'ers. among other riders as well.
