While these slide-on grips won’t break the bank, it’s worth noting that they work best if you stick them in place with Renthal’s Quick Bond Grip Glue, which will set you back another $10.
On the bike, we love the soft, super-grippy feel of the Push-Ons. The ‘Ultra Tacky’ rubber isn’t just grippy, it also helps to take the sting out of chattery sections of trail. Not everyone will like just how narrow they feel – we’re talking roughly 30mm in diameter – and, used with a stiff bar, the outer edge of your palms can start to feel a little battered on really rough trails. This is no worse than with other slim grips though, and we reckon it’s a price worth paying for the damping and grip on offer.
Since gluing (not wiring) our test grips in place, they haven’t lifted or slipped, even in the sopping wet. The downside is that it’s unlikely we’ll be able to remove them without cutting them.
