Grips
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight
"Unlike some others here I can't go wild over these grips. Yes they are excellent value for money and well made so if your budget is tight you can't go wrong really.
BUT and its a big but. I went for these as I am female and have tiny hands and everyone rated them small.
They are so small that they have no shock absorbing powers for rough rocky down hilling. I also found them a tad too long for my bars.

I have replaced them with my previous grips. The Odi Ruffians which are brilliant but twice the price!
The old, "ya gets what ya pay for" rings true here."

Design not well thought out.
Cons: poor design
"I was disappointed with this product and sent it back (no problems) The grip is less padded and forgiving than some other lock on grips. One end is also 'capped' which means no bar ends. The end cap is also metal and would get scuffed in no time. Even considering the bargain price, there are better alternatives out there."

Grippy, Spongy Goodness
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Adjustable
"These lock on to my bars securely and were easy to fits, the feel is on the spongy side with thin gloves, the rubber is fairly elastic so does move about if you have a vice like grip but this isn't a bad thing for me as it serves as a reminder to relax a little!"

Great grips for the price
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Bought these to replace the stock grips on my gt tachyon, these are very slim and dont have alot of cushioning but i wear gloves in all seasons so that is not a problem.
They lock on well, dont move around and for the price they are awesome.
If you want some thin low profile grips these are the ones."

Just the trick, if they fitted!
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable
Cons: Poor Fit
"lovely texture to the grip, and nice qulaity finish to the ally anodised clamps. problem that one of the end clamps had not been machined correctly, thus, would not fit over the handle bar. Now have to wait for returns process & replacemnts to be sent out. :o("

Durable and suitably grippy - without stickiness!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Lightweight
"Having been a loyal Lizard-Skins user, I decided to try out a pair of these grips instead (particularly given the attractive discounted price at the time of purchase).
Although these hard rubber grips appear to be less thick than comparable grips- which does take a little getting used to (especially with larger palms), they become very comfortable. Shock absorbency is limited to some extent by the thin rubber, but the grips hold up well even during torrential downpours. The bright orange aluminium lock-on collars and end-caps add some sparkle to what is overall quite a polished package."

Charge x Wiggle Sponge Handlebar Grips
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"Great grips, bought these for the charge flat straw bars with bullet ends.
Took the end cap off, chopped off the hard plastic cuff and they fit on the bars well with the bullet protruding and the orange cuff on the other end keeping the bars in place."

Great Value, very happy
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Bought these for an MTB I was renovating. Excellent value. Very comfortable as there is no silly manufacturer logo in the grip pattern. Very grippy, yet durable rubber. Clamps work great to keep the grips in place and the centre does not slip unlike some other clamp grips. For some, the most important point: The white stays white!
My only downside is that the diameter of the grip is on the small side. It's actually been fine and comfortable for riding so far, but it just felt a little smaller than I was used to. Still very happy and would buy again."

"These are great quality grips, but the ally locking end cap is a little annoying as it does not seem to tighten up quite enough. Looks good though."

charge grips
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"i've gone through a few grips on my bike as they have not lasted but these have got to be the best of them all for the price and the delivery was very quick. they provide a lot of grip and don't slip the only thing is that you don't get the white ones as this is the mistake that i made and they looked very muddy after the first ride i had with them on but they look good before the ride."

Nicely made grips
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"Chuffed to see these in the original white of my Scott Spark grips - but even more so when realised they were the same anodised orange/gold colour of the SRAM OEM kit on the bike.
Super-blingy and well made. Only reservation is that the plain closed aluminium ends are going to get scuffed-up"

Grippy, but not for big hands...
Pros: Great Value, Attractive
Cons: Poor Fit
"I went for these grips solely because of the price - I wanted a set of lock-on style grips, and these were so much cheaper than the other lock-ons with little visible difference in quality - as tends to be the case with many Charge products.
These were easy to fit, and have different grip patterns on the top and underside, for grip under your fingers as well as your palm. The white colour does show up dirt and grease more than other grips, but is that really an issue? It's like complaining about white bartape getting grubby - it's going to happen eventually.
If I have one negative, it's that they're a little small. I've used the big Yeti grips over the years as I have quite long fingers and prefer a bigger grip on my downhill bike. Maybe it's a psychological thing, but they don't feel quite as grippy as the burlier grips - but that said, the burlier grips costs a lot more... Personal taste maybe...
All in all, I can't fault these - they're a great price, grip well and don't interfere with brake levers or shifters. A good buy."

Good value grips
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality
"I purchased these for the girlfriend's mtb. They look good, are easy to fit and are reasonably comfortable. I would note that they are quite long and narrow so may not fit easily onto all bikes (particularly those with grip shifters) and because of the metal fixings would be difficult to shorten if required."

"A great value product which performs great.
They do wear down after a while making them slippy but I normally get a good year out of them. I just buy the same every time"
