Origin8 Pulsion Locking MTB Grips

I have bought three pairs of these and have no complaints. They lock tight and are a great way to improve the feel, handling, and look of your bike.

Comfortable grips. My second pair and I can say they are durable. My first pair lasted several seasons. They are easy to mount and the screws are good quality and I have yet to strip them. Better than an oem lock-on but not as refined as Lizard skin, race face, etc. great value and I would recommend.

I want to start out by saying that I race XC with my team. I have a carbon Ridley Ignite C7 which I built up for myself. I'm still trying to fine tune the bike to suit my needs.I used to have ESI Chunky grips, which I didn't like (too big for my hands, a chore to install). I also used their Racers Edge grips, which I didn't like either (thin, not very durable, and again a chore to install).I decided to go back to the good old lock on grips. One of my team mates has these grips and recommended them to me.So of course, lock on grips are pretty easy to install. Out of the parcel, it was decently packaged and there was no damage.The end plugs were a bit hard to get in, but now they're pretty much stuck inside (I'm using a Control Tech UD Carbon bar, it's a bit thick inside).However, one problem I did notice is that there was no thread locker on the screws, so I had to remove the screws and put a bit of blue thread locker on them. It's usually standard to have thread locker in the screws, so one star down for that. It's a small thing, I know, but I'm sure you wouldn't want your grips to be sliding around when you're riding. Thread locker is pretty much there for the extra reassurance.Anyways, they're cheaper than a lot of lock on grips out there. They're so cheap you can buy them on two day shipping and still get them cheaper than the competition.I've raced them once and they seem to be holding up well (I've had them for a week). I've fallen one too many times with these grips, they seem to be holding up so I'm completely content with them.I highly recommend these. Buy them. They're completely worth it for me.Update 6/7/16:Grips are still going strong, worn out but understandable, I can always flip them over to the better side and use them until they're completely done.They are worn in, some of the rubber wore off and and they're starting to feel "broken in."I've raced with them numerous times already and for their price they seem dependable.Only thing is that the bar ends seem to be a bit fragile, left side broke after simply leaning my bike against my wall a little too hard. I've taken many hard falls and bar strikes and I'm surprised the ends never came off then.

These grips were exactly what I was hoping they'd be and more... they are sturdy solid rubber with a nice grip and at 130mm in length, the perfect size to suit my hand. I really like the to locking ends that utilizes an allen wrench screw to lock the grip in place to prevent it from moving which was a problem with my past grips. The kit also includes plastic end caps and the entire package installed looks grand on my bike. The price is perfect and the company offering these is legit and has great customer service. I'm looking forward to riding my bike more now because of these grips.

These are a decent cheap lock on grip. They are easy to install. The grips them selves hold up well. The bar ends they come with don't do well when you remove them to swap/service brakes or shifter. I've already bought new bar ends. With the spend to purchase new decent bar ends, I could have just gotten higher quality grips like Ergon which I have done for other bikes.The grips them selves are ok for comfort if you stay in the center of the grip and uncomfortable as you move to the edge because the grips have a ridge before you get to the metal ends which are really not joyful.

At first i thought that the Allen wrench screws were stripped. Turns out i was just using a wrong but close allen wrench. The size allen wrench is 1/8 inch, they went on perfectly and bar ends went on with a lot of pressure with my hands. I saw other reviews talking about ho they are too grippy and hurt ou hands but these feel really nice and dont come close to hurting. Awesome Grips!

The grip portion is nice, very easy to grip and comfortable too. But unfortunately that's where the positives end, the grips arrived with a screw missing and after my first trail ride they had came loose. during the process of tightening them, one of the screws started to strip. I cannot see these grips lasting more than 1 or 2 more trail rides. Expected better.EDIT: Just got some other grips for 7.99 and they are 100x better than these grips ever could be! And they came with all the screws!

Inexpensive, lightweight, effective, a very simple pattern that offers good grip. A slight complaint is that when new, the nubs are so sharp that they dig into the palm of my hand, making my hand numb. I very slightly sanded down the sharp points where the heel of my palm contacts the grip and the problem was solved.
