REALLY?! How do $90 bicycle grips stack up against $5 grips?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hold on tight! Today we're going to test some mountain bike grips. Note that this video is just for entertainment. We spent about an hour with all these grips and can't give you any information on how they work long term. Still, it was interesting to test grips back to back with such a massive price disparity.
The Rev grips were backordered, so by the time they arrived the other grips had changed prices. I'm including links to them below anyhow.

    A riding friend of mine just broke 4 ribs and bruised his heart on a crash, and the doctors say that if he didn’t have endcaps he would have likely died as the bars would have gone straight through him. It’s really good of you to alert people of the dangers of no endcaps.

    I always aim at the higher middle tier for stuff like a PC, Headphones, a bike or an instrument. This is the range where you get the most value for your money I feel while the gear is also decent enough to handle anything you throw at it and easily can carry you into pro-hood. This would be around 1k for a PC or 3k for a bike for example.

    Coming from pro scooter parts, our industry has paved our own direction for how grips are made. Frankly, I think it will be a trend that catches on with MTB too a little bit, perhaps more in hot areas like mine. I've already seen more grips like scooter grips being thrown on mountain bikes. The mechanics at the bike shop were so surprised with my Tilt Continental grips. They said it's the best pair they have ever felt in their life. We don't ride scooters with gloves. Yet we suffer quite harsh hits to the hands compared to BMX due to small wheels with hard rubber. For this reason companies in the Scooter industry have made increasingly thicker and softer grips. For example the Ethic grips are one of the thickest pairs of grips I have ever seen myself. Back in the days ODI introduced the super softy grips just for scooter riders. I've found the optimal setup for comfort and grip and I highly recommend other riders give it a go. I used very thick, soft high quality scooter grips like the Tilt or Ethic grips, and a very thin pair of Polyurethane Dipped Gloves (about $2 a pop). The result is a grip/glove system that is very simple, economical, lighter and most importantly far more comfortable in the heat due to the very thin gloves you can now use without suffering strain and bruises on your hands (thanks to the super soft scooter grips) Give it a go, and I am sure you will no regret it! Edit: Also, from an engineering perspective, we are looking at a vastly simpler system to make. Bike grips and gloves are typically over-complicated and perhaps that's a bit of an anti-pattern in my opinion.

    I've had my 2 pairs of ZTTO grips for almost a year now and on my everyday bike they still hold up pretty well so far, but I don't use that bike for much more than commuting. On my Dirt Jumper I had clearly visible signs of wear after about 2 weeks and after 1 season I had the first flat spots on them. Now that I've spent some time riding again the flat spots have become pretty big and I've ordered replacement grips. I'll keep using the ZTTO grips on my everyday bike but not anymore in my Dirt Jumper.

I’ve got aluminum bars and really cranked them down when installing. I also should mention I got the $60 version which doesn’t come with “tuning washers” and cool colors, but the mechanics are the same. I feel that the grips are directed more towards downhill and long rides. Please please please try them at a DH park to se just how good they are with braking bumps

    I’ve used my Revgrips for 3 years, and I love them. I used to get numbness and tingling in my pinkies after 20 miles or less, and now I can ride all day with no numbness or pain. They were a total nightmare to install, and I have recurring nightmares about having to do it again, but once they were installed correctly, with the proper amount of cushion (I went with middle of the range), they have been hassle free for hundreds of miles. Would I recommend to my friends to pay $90 for these? Only if they are also experiencing hand pain that there is no better solution for. I think they work especially well for older riders who don’t like wearing gloves, as they add that extra cushion that even the thinnest gloves provide. I can’t wait to see your long-term review.

    The Revgrips are so good for reducing arm pump and fatigue. I feel like you would need to do a longer run on them to notice the difference. I really appreciate them the most when I'm riding at a downhill park. The Race series is only $59 and no hyperbole at all they are the most bang for the buck upgrade that I've made to my bike. You don't have to replace the whole system. You can buy replacement grips for $25 when they wear out. If you ride areas with a lot of rocks, shale, brake bumps, or long downhill runs and you get arm pump / arm fatigue they're worth the upgrade.

    Might be worth an updated video to revisit the install using the new elastomers -- unlike the old method of 4 little pieces that you need to cut out, it's all one piece now and goes much faster. As a note, if you really want extra security against the grips separating if they do loosen, you can put a locking collar from a cheap pair of grips inboard of the inner collar. (You could also do the same with any pair of locking grips, actually).

    With the non lock on grips I find the best method is to make sure the handlebar is clean, then spray the inside of the grip with the cheapest extra hold hairspray you can find - the grip will slide on easily, then you have to leave it a while to dry (anywhere from one hour to one day, depending on temperature). The grips should be completely solidly fixed to the bar, takes an enormous amount of force to move them normally (or a narrow screwdriver & some teflon spray lube, they'll be straight off no messing).

No I did not buy rev grips just because they are local to me, I got them because they work really good in super technical rough stuff and I’m an idiot who refuses to ride full suspension. Oh and because they are rebuildable, the cost of them goes down the longer you use them (compared to the number of Raceface half Nelson’s I bought in a 3 year span)

    I as well have been running Revgrips for almost 2 years. Not one problem... I have replaced just the grip part 3 times though. I also bought the version without the washers (I think they are like 50 bucks). Highly recommend them. I can also vouch for their support - sent me a bunch of extra screws when I stripped one and laid my bike down. Just make sure to tighten the ends more than Seth did.....hands are not sore after long runs and I never have arm pump - I broke my wrist twice when I was younger and I do think these help. I tried going back to regular grips twice for about a month each. Both times when I put the Revgrips back on it was a huge difference. Ride them for a few weeks, then switch to your old grips then switch back. They are pretty amazing in my opinion. Plus a USA company - and machined here.

    the revgrips are great, the installation is a little easier now and tbh I think I probably torqued them down nearly double what they said, no issues so far after a few months and they help as I used to lose feeling completely in both hands due to carpel tunnel

    "Don't get hurt, *laughs* Go fast, Don't crash" *Pulls off* That is a mindset I hope to have when doing any motorsports or biking.

    On the Revgrips You have to tighten them more than 1.7...they work great even on DH

    I had those ztto lock on grips on both my DH bikes, one being a Tues AL DH and my other one was an older Yeti 303rdh. Both dozens of sessions and after a bunch of wrecks not a hiccup.
