Brendog + Dusty Trails = GOLD! (video)

We followed Bren around for a day of pre-season testing/training in Somerset West, South Africa. The trails were dry and fast and Bren was up to race pace. The perfect formula for some classic Fairclough action.

The Good:

Excellent comfort for long days. Great grip both wet and dry, with and without gloves. Easy installation. Competitive price.

The Bad:

There are limits to the amount of abuse the built in end-caps can take. Not available in purple.

Overall Review: After using my initial pair in the super wet Pisgah 111k last year I have added these to my other bikes as well. They are all-day comfortable and still provide grip to torque the handlebar. The inner mushroom section does a great job of floating the section of grip you pinch with your thumb and ...

The Good:

Great colour choice
They look the bolox
You can pretend you're Brendog. Sort of

The Bad:

Not especially comfortable
Too narrow

Overall Review: Bought a set when they first came out, and immediately went out and bought another pair for the other bike. Loved all the colour choices and they look the nuts. But after some time in the saddle I found them rather uncomfortable; hand cramps a plenty and simply not large enough diameter for bi...

The Good:

color options. different sizes. single lock-on. designed by the dog.

The Bad:

bar end easy to break. too skinny or too big. break time of compound.

Overall Review: I bought the two options, one was very large and the other very thin, the compound took a while to become comfortable for my hands, I ride gloveless, and I developed big calluses very soon after using them. I had to change them in a short time because after a couple of falls the ends broke and t...

The Good:

Super grippy, comfortable, single collar, flange option, multiple thickness options, loads of colour options and affordable

The Bad:

Durability

Overall Review: Coming from Bmx I have always been a fan of mushroom style grips but found them lacking grip for mountain bike riding and there was never really a locking version either. The Deathgrip combines a mushroom, diamond and waffle style grip to create a grip that is just a pleasure to hold. I went w...

The Good:

Durable (I'm a gloveless rider)
super slippery with sweaty hands

The Bad:

The outer part gets damaged easily by clipping trees or just laying the bike on the ground

Overall Review: - Super nice grips, they do not get disgustingly sticky. - I had to get used to the thicker inner part of the grip. - Slippery with sweaty hands - I would like the inner part to be thinner - the flange is really small, so there is no problem with shifter/brake/dropper-remote

The Good:

Feature placement is on-point
3mm single clamp
size, compound and color options

The Bad:

not as much outer palm padding as some
soft ends get chewed up fast (duh)
soft compound wears fast (duh)

Overall Review: Bought the grip for the location of the features and it did not disappoint. Mushroom inner for max comfort, Ruffian outer for max control and waffles under to keep your hands on when the claw sets in. I've not have good luck keeping other 2.5mm single clamps from spinning when bunny-hopping or o...

The Good:

All day comfort
Loads of grip
No hot spots even without gloves
Cheaper at an LBS than Amazon
Envy of my fellow riders
A lot of color options and a couple girth sizes

The Bad:

Single clamp can get a bit of play at the speced NMs (left grip only for me)
Envy of my fellow riders

Overall Review: I picked up a set of these sweet camo DMR Deathgrips at my LBS after looking around for a fresh set of single clamp grips with a flange. History: I have run a variety of grips girths over the year with my preference skewed towards thinner grips because I have relatively petite hands. For yea...

The Good:

Super grippy, waffle pattern is comfortable, single lock-on makes them more comfortable and does not slip, thumb grip, flange keeps hands where you want them.

The Bad:

Durability

Overall Review: I have always been an ODI Ruffian user as long as I have ridden MTBs, and while I have tried other brands I have always gone back until now. This grip packs in a ton of useful features without being too expensive and it just feels right. The grip was super grippy out of the box and gained gri...

DMR Deathgrip Grip (product)

The Good:

Large platform with some concave. The "moto pins" give insane grip. Heavy duty axle.

The Bad:

Price. Lack of colour options. Weight.

Overall Review: These pedals have the best traction out of any pedal I have ridden in recent years. The "moto" pins that come with only this Brendawg edition are awesome as long as they are not in your shin. Not a light pedal by any stretch but are clearly bombproof. After buying the first set of these, I ended...
