z0mg R4pt0rs....Just kidding, I got a pair of Phoenix grips at a raffle down at my local shop a few weeks ago and phew, those things are so so soft. I had to stretch them a little bit but you guys should cop a pair. Well worth it.

Well, I never buy the same grip twice, and seeing how everyone likes ODI's, I figure I'll buy... everything that isn't ODI longnecks. Haha! And review them. Because I'm gay like that.
I either used Suave hair spray or Duro Spray Adhesive to get the grips on. Just a tidbit of information.
Anyway, on to the reviews:


Black market Adam Haucks grips: (everyone seen this coming)

Feel: 8, did not slide at all unless i wanted it to, like for barspins, good grip
Adhesion: perfect, stuck to bars very well, no motorcycling
Design: Looks okay, stuck well to hands but wasn't too grippy.
Durability: 8, lasted a good 6 or so months.
Made by ODI.

Proper bikes grips:
Feel: 7, felt weird and dry for some reason though
Adhesion: eh, i needed to let them sit for a while, but they're good after that.
Design: similar to odi but doesn't feel the same
Durability: Excellent

Animal Edwins:
Feel: Good, they vary from soft to hard with different colors, i had Red.
Adhesion: Superb, used hairspray.
Design: cool looking, grippy, forms to hands easy. Comes in many colors!
Durability: well, ... it wasn't durable.


Schwinn grips:
Feel: Okay, fairly grippy but thin.
Adhesion: Took a lot of glue but eventually stuck
Design: Diamonds, kind of neat and felt okay on the hands, don't wear out too fast either.
Durability: going good on my spare, considering the grips are taken off of a bike chained to a fence for two/three months.

Stolen money grips
Feel: Excellent, nice on the hands but material gave me dry hands.
Adhesion: Really thick so they fit snugly and didn't motorcycle
Design: Good
Durability: Amazing. Don't wear out fast at all.

Stock Foamies:
Piss.

Eastern Elephant grip
Feel: Eh, they're hard and.. suck ish.
Adhesion: Superb, no problems.
Design: not grippy on the hands, kind of good for barspins and such but if you want good grip not for you
Durability: They chunk before they wear out, the material is ass. Probably what an elephant's skin feels like.

Micro XT grips
Feel: Thick, hard. Like my -----
Adhesion: awful, motorcycled no matter what i did.
Design: Micro XTTTT and bars, made of like melted shoes or rain coats, or feels like it at least.
Durability: Excellent.

Fly Rubens:
Feel: Nice on the hands
Adhesion: excellent, no problems either
Design: I kinda like it, it's thin and gripped well.
Durability: Also excellent.

Odyssey Griswalds:
Feel: Grab some of your hair, thats it. Awful in my opinion.
Adhesion: They stuck to the bars very well.
Design: Hairy. Did not like.
Durability: Hairy. Wore out easily so thats good if you like hairy things that wear out.

DK Shuko grips, you can buy them at Walmart I think. Grips were super comfy just thin and wore out pretty quickly. I had them about 3 years ago and I'm still riding the Bar Ends that came with them. It's worth buying the grips just for the bar ends.

im not too into the ethics anymore, I started hating how fat they are. Since then I've rode the district long grips and they are one of my new favorites, they're long, thin, and broke in very easily. I'm also waiting on the new BSD Dan Paley grips to drop later next month, they are also supposed to be a longer slim grip witha zig-zag sort of pattern

Guys fyi:
On 99% of grips (all the grips made by odi) use a different material for colored grips than gum and black grips.
Black grips: softest and break in very comfy
Tan/gum grips: very grippy and work amazingly with sweat, also soft and comfy
Colors (red blue yellow ect.) less grippy, harder, and break in funny/ never break in

Foamies with a circle of electrical tape on the ends and in the middle <3 Def gonna snap a pic for you guys.

Nothing grips better when your hands sweat and nothing is more forgiving to the hands when it comes to barspins and impact. However, for outdoor winter riding I'd prefer bmx grips and gloves.
