I have these on 3 different bikes. They are the only grips I use now. Lots of cushion and traction. I use them without gloves on a track bike, single speed, and gravel bike. They are soft so they can get damaged if the bike gets dropped etc. but overall worth it for the comfort. My first pair lasted over 7 years.

For cross-country mountain bikes, these grips are great. They’re very lightweight. Easy to install. Remove with air gun or rubbing alcohol to slide them in place. They are durable, good grip, different thickness and field for cross country racing. They’re really good.

Hard to get on and off. Easily torn in a crash. Super lightweight and shock absorbing. Slippery when wet if using bare hands.

These grips are awesome and really, are even more comfortable riding without gloves, believe in or not. No rips or tears yet and they don't move on the bars. 100g lighter than any other lock on grips and more comfortable too. I'm ordering 2 more sets for back ups just in case.

I wanted to love these, but they just didn't live up to the hype. Easy to install with the directions, grips worked good with bare hands or gloves. But when it came down to it, minor hits or even rubbing from setting down caused the foam to break and peel. I'm going back to lock on ODIs

Great grips - comfortable and light, however, definitely more difficult to get onto the bars compared to the chunky or extra chunky versions. If you're a weight weenie or prefer slim grips, these are perfect. If you don't care about 15 grams and not too partial on grip diameter, I would go with the regular chunky for easier installation. If you like fatter grips, I would definitely go extra chunky, and the easiest to install.

Loving these so far. They went on with lots of alcohol with not too much grunting and swearing. I didn't need to use an air compressor, just soak a small square of paper towel dripping wet with rubbing alcohol and keep it right in front of the grip as you twist and push, so that it's floating on a layer of alcohol. One of them got stuck after it was about 75% on, and I poured a bit of alcohol directly into the grip, and it went right on after that.I had KCNC foam grips before these. They would never stay put without tons of super glue... nasty to clean up. These ESI grips aren't going anywhere, and I didn't have to use hairspray or glue. Material feels nice and dense. VS thin rubber grips and thin foam grips, If you push one finger into any of these grips they all feel about the same, but when you grab the ESI grip it feels like it distributes the force better. you can't really squish it enough to feel the bars with your whole hand. They've been very comfortable on a few 2 hour mtb rides with lots of climbing and descending.

These are the only grips I use on my bike and my wife's bike. She's only used these for years now - and I was using clamp-on grips because of the ease in installation and removal, but I've since found out how to easily install and remove these.To install - just get some Windex, like the instructions say. I put a glove on my hand to get more grip, then spray the bars and the inside of the grip, and just push it on. If they're new, they'll fight you, but not too hard to get them on there. Once they've been on before, they stretch a little and are easier to reinstall. The only real caveat here is don't try this just before a ride - give it at least overnight for the windex to dry or you might have loose grips.Removal is a piece of cake. I keep a chopstick on hand and push that between the bar and grip, then shoot some water in there, work the chopstick around, and then the grip will pull right off.If you watch the MTB World Cup, you might notice that these grips are hugely popular with the racers, and for a good reason - they work.
