Review on ๐Ÿ‘ Enhanced Control and Comfort: ESI Grips Extra Chunky MTB Grip by Michael Morgan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Too slippery when wet

I've been looking for grips for my trail bike that I can ride without gloves. One device less. I was hoping they were tickets. But that's not the case. They're great as long as your hands stay dry. They are soft, absorb vibrations, are very comfortable and offer excellent control. But after 10 minutes of driving, when my hands are sweating, they become dangerous. Eventually my hands ached from squeezing them so hard they wouldn't slip. Before that I had our lock grips and then the stock giant lock grips (came in my trance). After a good hour plus a trip without gloves I always had blisters. They too suffered from becoming slippery when sweating. But they weren't as slippery as those foam grips. I'm going to try them with gloves on in a few days and expect the slipping issue to be resolved.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • No instructions
