Review: I figured if these grips are good enough for the GMBN (Global Mountain Bike Network on YouTube!! Great videos if you’ve not seen them before!!) team - they will be far superior to my standard grips on my bike and more than good enough for me! Recommended for large to XL hands (glove size 8.5-10.5) or for extra vibration dampening they weigh in at a fraction above their stated 110grams. No surprise to hear they are really comfortable, and surprisingly adjustable - as they are ‘ergonomically shaped’ to fit your hand shape as opposed to standard round grips, you need to rotate the grip when on the bars to find your optimal positioning - this make take a few rides or two, so it’s probably worth your while taking your mini tool, or a small torque wrench in your bag when you go out to adjust on the fly if you don’t already carry these with you on all rides. Upon travelling down a very rocky mountain decline (roughly a mile long at -7%) at a decent speed (23mph) on a hard tail bike - upon reaching the bottom my arms and wrists were fine - everyone else I was riding with (all going a lot slower) was complaining about wrist aches and pain - I honestly didn’t feel a thing and the main thing is I beat them all down by a good minute! Supposedly the rubber used for these grips are developed in house by Ergon, and it’s so pure - you could eat them and suffer no ill effects - although - I’d image it would be a bit tough to chew down on these and obviously wouldn’t recommend it - I mean where’s the nutritional value…just grab a sandwich or refuel with a coffee and a cake like a normal biker!! As with all things rubber, these will obviously wear out at some point, and I’ll update this review as to how long they last for - if it’s not been updated it means they are still on the bike, still grippy, still comfortable and still in use! So far so good, I’d definitely recommend these to anyone as a pair of comfortable grips - some places think they look a bit weird, I’m not seeing why myself I like the look of them!
