Marque Grapple Mountain Bike Handlebar Grips – Single Lock-On Ring MTB and BMX Bicycle Handle Bar with Non-Slip Grip

Honestly I was a little let down when these arrived. The rubber just isn't as thick and soft as my old grips. They are well made and easy to install, but the feel was not as good as my old ones. Just not enough cushion for my taste. My son's best friend came over the other day and I noticed he had electrical tape for grips. I knew exactly what to do. Later that night he jumped on his bike to go home and said, "hey, wait a minute". It was awesome, his face went from total confusion to really happy. He loved them and couldn't wait to show his dad. I never return anything. Not sure why, but I'm glad I could make use of the grips and make someone happy at the same time. Now I just have to find a pair of new grips as good as my old ones. :)

They do it! I have these on my commuter/MTB and love the green.How they feel:These are a bit on the thinner side for MTB grips (used to riding Oury grips), measuring at about 1.192" (outer grip) in diameter. They give a hefty amount of feedback for whats going on at the tires - not necessarily a bad thing but its definitely a more race-y and aggressive feel. At 5.135" in length there's enough of room for even big hands to move around on.How they look:True to product photo exactly. These grips do not match with anything on my bike and they're here to stay.

Purchased it for the price and the grip pattern as it resembles my Diety. The rubber compound it not quite as soft as the Diety's but comfortable enough. The only issue I have are the bar ends. They are very flimsy and hard to push them into the bars without a little help from a rubber mallet. Running carbon bars so the they are a little thicker thus the hole is a little smaller than aluminum bars.

LOVE these grips! After 25 years, I'm getting back into some serious mountain biking. I found these and yes, the camo grabbed me quick as a cool factor. I decided to go for it because my grips were on oxygen and losing life quick. They were said to be delayed in shipping but they came a week faster than expected. Quick installation. I use bar ends as well and it was painless. Over 100 miles on them already in less than 2 weeks and I LOVE these. I'll buy a second pair just so I have them for the sad day the current ones wear out. Just bad a$$. Highly recommend!!!! Dooooo iiiiiit!

The "1/2 - Waffle" style offers more grip, aligning with the fingers, and a little softer rubber than the 7-year old previous grips. The old grips are actually very good, high-end OURY grips, but as you can see, are very greasy/dirty, and have not only lost much of their grip, but the rubber has become hard, making for even less grip, and a harsher impact on my hands. The new grips are comfortable and will offer grip, even when they get dirty. I have not yet tested them in mud yet, but water doesn't compromise traction. They are too new to talk about durability.The old OURY grips did lock at both ends, the new grips lock only at one end, with just push-in plugs at the outside end. So I used some old (ODI brand) bar-ends, that use a screw to "expand" from the inside of the handlebars, holding the new grips secure at both ends. They are Left/Right, and the locking Allen nuts align up on - "front/top" of the bars if installed correctly.And... The new grips look kind of "Sick"Purchase these grips with confidence.

Nice upgrade to the grips on my Trek cross country mountain bike. The stock grips would slide and move while in use. These Marque grips installed quickly and easily and solved the sliding problem. Grip has good Combination of comfort and hold.

These grips are a great value. They're on the firmer side which is exactly what I was looking for as my previous stock grips were just way too gushy and did not give nearly as much direct feedback as do these grips. They have a combination micro etch on top and waffle pattern on the bottom much like a motocross grip which is what I am used to. Very well made and sturdy construction with a quality fastening system that fit perfectly with no slop. They seem to be a bit wider than my old grips which is nice for larger hands or for maneuvering around on the grip to reach the controls. These grips also have a small thumb stop bump on the inside of the grip to keep you from sliding off to the inside and also serve as a guide to help you clock the grip (this side up) properly on the bar. Added bonus value, they come with very nice deep tight fitting end caps and look really really good!!

Pros - they feel and look great and are easy to put on and lock down - Overall, a great grip for the price!Cons - Is that they are a bit long and might need to be trimmed depending on your bar length - I use riser bars on all my bikes - so that does some time effect if they need to be cut -

First impression is good quality product, made in Taiwan is bonus. Not too soft or hard, to me just nice and should perform well and look sick too!

Work and feel great
