[Review] DK Vice Grips

[danot2serious1]

Well, I don't have them on my bike but one of my friends has them. I ride his bike a lot so...

Pros
-cheap
-comes in different colors
-lasts a long time
-good grip

Cons
-VERY uncomfortable.
-ugly
-to skinny

I hate these grips, theu are painful and they're ugly. Plain and simple, these grips suck. If the logo/design was different, they could be awesome comfortable grips. The rubber is medium hard and long-time wear. They are to skinny to. I do not reccomend these grips.

if they are uncomforatable, ugly and you dont reccomend them, why have you put 'good grip' under pros?

[ozz]

these are some of the better grips i have owned. they are grippy even after my hands are sweating, they arent hard enough to give me blisters and they seem to be holding up really well. as for them being skinny, yes they are skinnier than my previous grips but after a little while riding with them they felt fine.

[nutsgeezer]

I dont like them, my friend had some on his cinncinatti, made my hands hurt even though I only rode it for 5-10minutes.

Because they have good grip. As in, "This grip has good grip."

[nutsgeezer]

oh right I get ya. Im clearly really clever :?

[b_m_x_X_x]

too hard... and take forever to get broken in... and when they do... they basicly desolve.

I thought the same thing. Unlike the pitchfork, cool name, good product.

[Louis K]

Yeah I agree! ##### was very smart when they made the pitchfork :)

personaly i like a hard grip. the harder and thiner the better. i think the coulours could be cooler. but from what i have heard theas grips are great. different people have different prferances . thats why companys come out with various products . so they can appeal to more riders. based on the pro's you mentioned it sounds like anyone who likes thoes colours and likes grips that are hard and skinny, would love them.

[danot2serious1]

It wouldn't be that bad if they were one smooth hard grip, with out the little logos poking out. The logos are a very hard rubber, and if you want to break them in, the logos will be gone and you will be left with a very thin piece of grip! I don't know about you but when I land, my wrists like some cusion.

they looks like grips of children bmx bike

[reyesjr02]

i rode with them, they were ****in hard....

[ozz]

anyone who says these are hard must have little girl hands.

[Bladerboi2k4]

i dont like these grips, they wear down too fast and are uncomfortable i like odi grips better

[turbofonz]

I used to ride a pair, I liked them a lot, but the left side one ended up wearing out really fast and split into two. But I enjoyed them, they lasted a while.

[nutsgeezer]

wow turbo you're back! you havent posted in ages.

[turbofonz]

yeah i'm still around just don't really post as much anymore.. been busy, but i do lurk a bit.

[b_m_x_X_x]

i hate those grips!

[DeathisCertian]

I've only put them on my race bike. And I have a very different opionion, but I always ware gloves when I race.
Good-
-Grips have a good feel
-You can feel the bike pretty well

Bad
-Wares too fast (I wore mine out in 3 weeks)

Conclusion
Because they are a thiner grip, I would always where gloves with these grips. But over all, they work pretty well.

yea, im with ozz. i got a pair of red ones on right now. im in transition from gloves to no gloves and with my gloves they wore alot more than without. ive had the same pair since june. however the rubber is nice and soft and great grip even when sweaty. i didnt find these hard at all as i like soft grips.
heck i liked these so much i have a brand new black pair ready when these go to hell!




and yes i know this was an old post but no point in starting a new one for no reason right?

[dkdude]

i have them on my dk dfx i find them comfirtable and soft i like the design. all my friends wanna buy it i give it 10/10 but they where out pretty fast so but i like them

[Crayola]

when i got my DK a little while ago i too found these grips uncomfortable. they gave me loadsa blisters and stuff. and then they started throttlin even with the "anti throttle barends" im goin to go get some fit key grips soon. :roll:

[dkrider1229]

they could be skinny nad somewhat uncomfortable becuase they were ment for gloved hands..maybey?? jus thought ide put my 2 cents in

[DkFreestyle1021]

These came with my Dk step up and the minute i rode it, i hated them. it does have good grip but your right about the logos. they are really annoying when you ride for a while. Within a day or two i got primo V grips, those are nice :lol:
