Thumbs up Oury Bmx Grips

WHAT: oury bmx grips
COST: $25 at shops can get them off ebay
WHERE: most bike shops should be able to order them in




WHAT I LIKED

you dont need to wire them or glue them or anything really they stay in place on there own, they are comfy grippy and soft, they feel great on your hands and take the pressure and vibrations off your wrists. I found the standerd grips on most pittys are hard and horrible soft grips like these are essential

Fit:
well fitting grips isint ever easy so its rather hard but once there on there on

Looks:
they look the part they add a bit more blingage to your pitty

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
trying to get them on and when you have it on your throttle its a bit thicker than your normal grip on it so it may feel a little strange to start with but didnt take too long to get used to

Choice:
plenty of colours to choose

VERDICT:
well definately worth the 25 bucks they really do feel good and do seem to make your throttle more response as the grip is more grippy which makes it feels smoother. So at the end of the day you will thank yourself for buying these as you wont get any blisters

Overall rating
8.5/10

I think they are a bit chunky , i like my slim grips. These oury's kinda look a little old school but I like the colours they come in. I had to lock wire a set down multiple times using grip glue or I would have severe throttle grip.
Not that tough either the ends of the grips managed to shred up quickly after being dropped a few times without bar ends.
But for me the feel of these grips put me off , they are nice and soft but dont do well in the wet due to the lack of waffel.
Also have a look at white knuckle and ODI if your intrested in coloured grips.
Personal product rating: 5/10 . Cheap set of grips ( eastcoast has em for $15) , looks sweet but lacks in feel and are a tad dated.

Good review by the way Pitbikekid , good to see some other views on these grips. 50sbrotherhood likes them very much!

Hey all just a bit of advice. Put an air compressor under the grip once its on a tad then blow it and slide it on.. much easier

Try ODI longnecks, They're slim-ish and they last forever.
