Well then where can i start.
I bought these grips about three months ago to replace my original grips which were worn thin. I got them in the blue semi transparent compound which is supposedly harder and wears slower than the black ones. I can't say this for sure though because i've never used the black ones.
They come supplied with a pair of ordinary plastic bar ends which serve there purpose well but after a while become jagged and splintered around the edges. I would definately recommend you use a pair of metal insert type bar ends with these.
The grips themselves have flanges at one end and are thicker at the other end to fit nicely against the bar ends. They are around average in length, not too short but they do go slightly onto the bend of my bars.
So far they are wearing very slowly and the raised primo letters are nice and comfortable for ungloved hands. These were around the price of every other grip i looked at so no complaints there.
(they even came supplied with a primo sticker!)

So in conclusion i would recommend these grips highly to anyone in the market for a new pair and i will continue to use them. I will give them 9/10.

I have the black ones at the minute, I never knew they did different colours - but even so I have no complaints at all about them, they are just so comfy

i wouldnt reccomend these for bars that hav a larger diameter...the shadow 11b primo LOGO grips are a bad combination..
