I used the grips on my DH bike and they are amazing. The feel is perfect, wide, vibration damper and way smoother on the hands the ODI lock on. The only drawback is that they will tear under hard crash. It's also light and will not move if installed right.

 I love these grips! Here in Japan where the seasons are wet and rugged these have lasted the longest and stay clean as well! I only wish they came in lock on! Over all great grips and awesome hand suspension! RideOn!

 So that's what 'silicone' stands for! I think I need to talk to the gf again about getting some 'silicon' of her own. I think she will be sold on its "Shock absorbing" properties...

 Yes I have tried them, on the first crash they split and had to go in the bin

 I have them on my XC bike and love them. Extremely comfortable, don't wear down, stay grippy in all conditions, would absolutely recommend.

 Sounds like more for factory riders who don't care if their stuff gets trashed between races. Nice idea though.

 i have those exact ones and there good but split easy
