If you aren't an incredibly aggressive rider that crashes a lot then this is a fairly good option.
Pros Good grip looks sweet and feels good with and without grips.
Cons The cap and ring fell off and took the plastic they were mounted to with them. This could have possibly been from an OTB accident I had on a dirt jump. They are mendable with hot glue but now I will never be able to get them off.
I loved these brand new, now they are ehh. I will shop around and try something else next time. Still a great grip for them money, but there are so many options. I use TLD air gloves. I do not like these grips without gloves. As others mentioned it can get slippery with moisture.
Pros large size fits my hand well, great vibration control, sticky for great hand retention. locks on tight
Cons my left grip has loosened up (tree contact doesn't help) and it will not tighten anymore, they have a sticky feel that I do not like, the rubber material is wearing out after about a year of use
While these are obviously more expensive than your standard slip on grips, the lock on is work it. It makes installation a breeze and also assures your grips wont twist during the ride. I also have bigger hands and like the fact they are slightly thicker than my old WTB Dual Compound were.
Great grips for riding in bad weather conditons bcuz they don't move. If you're barehanded the grip gets a little slick with water or sweat but with gloves there is no issue. These are great for the larger rider. I'm 6'2" 230lbs and I sit comfortably in the Clydesdale group and these grips work great for me!
Pros Excellent large sized grips that spread out the trail chatter to over a larger portion of your hands. The rubber is not super soft but just cushy enough for great comfort. This dramatically reduces sore hands on those long epic rides. Very well built, super easy to install, and they look very good. The tread pattern on these also minimizes sweaty palms.
Again anyone with larger hands and or like the plusher style grips this is the set for you.
Pros Great for people with larger hands, or people who like that soft yet sticky feel. I wear gloves but forgot them once, no big deal with the rogue's.
Cons I have had mine for a few months. I see that they are wearing a little faster than my ruffians but this is to be expected with a softer grip.
Yes I would recommend this product. However if you read the MSRP on here before you buy them from your LBS you might be surprised. I needed up paying $30 for them.
I prefer a grippy, err, grip and this is exactly that. The stickiness of the grip makes it so that I can relax my hands more than others I have tried and still have solid control over the handlebars.
I highly recommend these grips and are definitely my most favorite and clearly tops my other favorite's... Ruffians and a couple Lizard Skins
Pros Gripping, channels sweat away literally, very comfortable for long rides and gnarly terrain, easy to mount and re-mount, and very reasonably priced.
Cons Doesn't come in an array of colors...BUMMER!!
6 months is usually the longest life I'll get out of grips. These are going on a year of hard riding and show no wear. They are really fat so they make gripping them easier for larger hands. The thick rubber is really comfortable as well.
Pros -Thick rubber
-Comfortable as can be
-Grip for days
-No signs of wear
I love the grips. They are comfortable, grippy, and I have never had them slip. I like how you can customize with different color locks. It does say right on the package, do not over tighten! Snug them down and they will be just fine.
Pros Great grip
Easy to install
Comfortable
Great value
Been riding the same pair for 3 years and won't even consider changing to anything else. Get yourself a nice pair of gloves to go with because these are a little knobby for comfortable barehanded rides.
Pros Sticky grips
Plush enough to suck up some shock
Good lock-ons

Pros
Lock on, easy to install, provide plenty of grip when dry.
Cons
| ThankWill get slippery with bare hands in the rain or with aggressive sweat. Gloves will help. I wish the lock rings were a bit smaller or refined.

cant complain yet. i've only done a few rides but its way better then my stock fuel ex slide on/slide off grips. Yahoo! also ODI made in THE USA
Pros
love the lock on, my first! I know way to long.
Large for the shock which was a problem I was having.
longer grips which help me when I bring hands in when climbing.
USA USA!
Cons
| Thankmetal lock on piece digs in to hands with non padded gloves.
I think these are a great grip if your not into the thin grips.
Update, been riding 5 years on these now, replaced a pair after 4 years on my Enduro and put a new set on my Devinci build.
Pros
I prefer a larger grip and these are perfect for me. Last a long time.
Cons
| ThankWish there were other color options. Small allen screws can be easy to strip out after they have been on for along time.
Been riding the same pair for 3 years and won't even consider changing to anything else. Get yourself a nice pair of gloves to go with because these are a little knobby for comfortable barehanded rides.
