Top quality and value for money grips
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, Rugged
"I bought two sets of these grips to match both my winter and summer bikes. They were simple to fit and only took about five minutes., in fact it took longer to get the old ones off! The grips are not slippery even in the wet and give a secure hand hold. Comfort on long or bumpy rides is good even without gloves. They also look good, I like these grips!"

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
"These are the second pair of Jackshits I've bought, the previous pair lasting 4 years! Comfy but not too soft, they are pretty durable and look good. If you're looking for a cheap, hardwearing grip to get you through a dark winter grind, I'd recommend these."

The originals were so good...
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
"Been riding my Kona Dawg for 3 years now taking a fair bit of punishment. The original Kona grips finally were fading away and I started searching around for replacements.
The big buzz these days is lock ons which I'm sure don't move, but when I got 3 good years, plenty of hand traction, no discomfort on 3+ hour rides and no movement for a product 1/3 of the price, why would you?
I like them and the bonus is it makes my Kona look new, well sort of new... you know when you see someone you haven't seen for a while and they kind of look the same but better!
So give your bike a haircut or teeth whitening or a spray tan (actually not a spray tan, that looks poxy orange and dodgy), make it better, have good grips and save some $$$!"

cheap and cheerful
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Great Value
"Got these as a cheap replacement for some charge sponge grips that had worn out alarmingly fast an the comute and didnt want to spend too much, at so far they have been great value, was a bit dubious about the pattern, but it is unnoticable under gloves, and although they are not as soft as the sponge's thay are perfectly comfortable. Good stuff."

Kona Jackshit MTB Grips
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality
Cons: dodgy name
"Fortunately it's just the slightly dodgy product name that got away on this occasion....
It's easy to forget that grips are a key part of the whole MTB experience, being as they are one of only five interfaces between man and machine. (Counting your buttocks!)
These have a fantastic mid-grip compound that wears well. They slide over the bars easily (use a little hairspray to lube the bars first.) They then grip fast and inspire more confidence than some of the more rubbery compounds out there.
The grips look good, wear well, and represent great value for money.
Highly recommended!"

Good value - Yes or No ?
Pros: Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value
Cons: Low Quality, Wears Out Easily
"I recently purchased these grips as a direct replacement for the grips on my Dawg Delux. I had not experienced any issues with the originals but felt they were becoming a little worn and tired looking.
After some top tips on the web for fitment, copious amounts of hairspray and elbow grease saw the new grips fitting snuggly and looking the part. The purchase coincided with a tough, and wet three day trip to Wales after which I must say the grips are looking just as tired as the original pair with obvious signs of wear.
Despite being excellent value, and very grippy I am disappointed at how quickly they are showing signs of deterioration."
