This is great, hope to see more of these comparisons. Has a "Project farm" vibe to it, but for bikes.

I'm impressed by tools and creativity used for testing. Good job!

Outstanding! Never seen another review like it. I've been mountain biking since the late 80"s starting off with rigid hardtails. Since then, I've owned hardtails with suspension forks and full suspension bikes. Been through a lot of grips over time. Like you, I prefer comfort and durability first. I prefer grips close to 30mm. I'm a trail rider with not a lot of huge decents, and I do ware gloves most of the time. My old hands aren't as forgiving as they used to be. Grips are a personal preference, but your tests were very informative to say the least. Thanks for your outstanding effort!!

Often overlooked because many of us simply buy grips which we like the looks of or what we're used to - great to see some science helping to sway the decision/choice. Brilliant review - there should be awards for comparisons this good!

I really don’t understand how you don’t have more subs

[WaRnb]

Your comparisons are next level man! Really nicely done, thanks for taking the time to make these for us!

[TheFoxphire]

That was the most amazing comparison I've ever seen in my life! Keep being awesome!

Great video, more of this testing type videos please.

Cool experiments 😊 thanks for sharing your results. Personally, a summary table would be really helpful for comparison! I’m going to snag some ergons too

[jamesc]

love the testing. i do feel you actually rushed at the end where you flash the grades. i would like to see the entire grade chart to compare as well as all the numbers. i’m also hoping you can do the evo factory and oneup thin, regular grips. did u test the glove pull with the grips turned towards the grippier side rather than just the top? i feel some grips have more textures at certain angles below the grip not on top.

[TheAndyMaan]

Thats definitely the most scientific mountain bike experiment I've ever seen, I'm pretty impressed.

Still dont know which ones to buy though 😂

I think I'll get the Ergon grips but in the softer factory version and give them a go.

This is just brilliant. Thankyou for the in depth tests and reviews. ( and awesome efficient YT edit) Subbed.

Really enjoyed the comparisons, I hope more people jump on this channel. I'd love to see your comparisons on XC foam grips too!

[Krillekris]

Just discovered your channel. This kind of content is gold 🙂

[bigglyfabulous]

Wow. Well done man. The kind of review I’m looking for.

[MrGourd]

Great video! I hope you do a comparison video on bike specific grease in the future.

[BermCount-rxkj]

That's a pretty cool video! Most objective one that I've seen. I've been considering getting the Lizard Skins Northshore grips. Similar to the Oury's but with a gnarled pattern all over the squares.
