I bought the DMR Brendog Death Grips grips before the spring thaw and rode them all year on my 29″ full suspension bike. They are the green camo fat version. I have, according to Strava, over 200 miles on that bike & the grips. Although, some rides never logged. My rides include everything from a downhill bike/ski park, flow trails, cross country, to gravel roads. These grips are a mixture of ribs near the end, a waffle-like diamond pattern on top, and an old school Oury brand motocross grid pattern on the bottom. The compound they’re made of is tacky enough for a good grip but not so much that on hot days they feel gooey. I’ve ridden in the pouring rain and cold temps too. I can’t find a single fault with these under any circumstances. They are long enough to give some room for movement but not so much that you lose your hand position if you take said hand off then back on again. I think that because there are only one clamping end and not two, you get some more real estate with these grips.
