MARQUE Race Mountain Bike Handlebar Grips - Ultimate Grip & Control for MTB and BMX Bicycles with Non-Slip, Knurly Gritty & Half Waffle Patterns Review

Bought to replace my son's Royalbaby soft grips, one of which ripped and exposed the metal of the handlebars. They're an inch longer than the handlebars on this bike and other similar youth/kids bikes, so at first I thought we couldn't mount it properly because the handbrake needs to stay in place. I was wrong, it works well and it's a great product in part because it includes a hard inner sleeve that makes it difficult to damage the grip on the ends.

Too thin in diameter and a bit short for big hands. Cracking stone ridges, my hands slipping. If the grip was wider and thicker these would be the only grips I would ride.

Be careful. I was lucky enough to spot this on a test drive around the house. If I had just ridden down the trail on my…

The grips are great but more importantly the AMAZING customer service we have received. My son was so excited to get his bike grips so I tried to put them on as soon as we got them. I accidentally put the screw the wrong way round and this broke the black fastener. I immediately contacted Marque LLC and informed them of my mistake (yes it was my mistake) and they sent me new pens. I can't tell you how happy and grateful my son and I were when we received our new grippers so quickly. The grips…
