[Review] Fit key grips

[loz]

Article from BMX-Zone.com, http://www.bmx-zone.com/en-article-id-416.html

Just got my eastern ace of spades and the grips are crap. they wore down in a week approx and were farr to thin in the first place. on my other bike i used to ride fit keys grips and thought id get another pair. They have a ribbed pattern like an odi longneck but are perhaps slightly softer. The flanges are very bendy but i have found no problem with that. they have lasted very long in comparison to other grips (approx 3 months soo far) they are quite fat in comparison to my old eastern id grips. I find them very comfy but slippy when wet.

Costs: about $9 USD

I have some Hoffman grips that have the ribbed patterns. I like them, but the only problem (like you said) is when they are wet with sweat, your hands slip forward and backwards (hope you understand that lol.)

yeh i understand i ride a gloved hand so its all good for me. but yeh i think its the comfyist design i have ridden and thats why so many grips have it

Those (or very similar) ones came stock on my Fit Pro. I just replaced them after almost a full year (8O), and I'd have to agree they are pretty good. I'd also agree they are pretty shit when wet, they still have a little tacky rubber grippiness but get real slick. I cut the flanges off mine too.

ahhh these grips suck, i thought they would be quite good seeing as they had the same feel and look as longnecks, alas the fit grips died after about 2-3 weeks!

These came stock on my team and i found them to be a bit rough on my hands so went for a softer grip (ody. duallys).

I do agree though they are tough, long-lasting and shite when wet.

Unfortunately a long lasting grip usually means tougher/harder rubber, as with these grips.

They look like Fit Originals not Keys. The keys have the fit logo all over......and they are crap. The fit originals are pretty good, I've got them now. Flangless aswell :D haha.
