Product: Rebound Tech Dual Compound Grip
Application: Because you need something to hold onto
Colors: Grey/Black, Grey/Blue, Grey/Red
Price: $15.99

Key Features:
-Soft compound Rebound Technology matrix surrounds grip.

-Material placed only where necessary to reduce grip diameter.

-Intended to act as suspension for your hands for cushioning and damping against vibration and musculoskeletal stress.

What We Liked:
-The pyramid-like shapes, while they feel a bit strange at first, a surprising amount of cushion.

-Thanks to the layout of the pyramid matrix, the grips actually help add traction to your, well, grip.

-The cushion significantly reduces vibration and muscle fatigue.

What We Didn’t Like:
-Riders with smaller hands have complained that Tag grips have a bit too large of a diameter for them to feel comfortable.

We have been using these grips for a few months now and very happy with them. The dual-compound provides excellent longevity and seem to reduce fatigue and arm-pump enough to help you last those few last laps of your motos. An added bonus is for riders with slightly larger hands and finger who get a much better purchase on the handle bars. Overall the Tag Rebound Tech grips are an excellent grip.

Don't give up you pillow top. I recently found the pillow top and then switched them out for the rebound. What I found is the composite material is sooooo soft there is no structure at the end of the grip (i.e. donut part) and your hand will wonder. I tore them off my bike after 3 rides. I hated them…____On the plus side my calisis started to go away but it just wantsn't comfortable.

I've been using them for a couple months now. They definately reduce vibe and feel good but go with what Chris said,"use your legs" . I find the end caps of the tag grips melt away and separate if you don't use a special grip glue.
O'Neil make the best grips on the planet.

renthal kevlar tapered grips are longest lasting, toughest and most comfortable grip i've ever run. all my buddies have switched to them after riding my bike and they love them.

Try Kwala Dual ply grips if your after small diameter and soft cushioning ,riders are switching to these giving less arm pump over other brands.These grips arrive in the U.S in a couple of weeks for the first time.

I have been using these grips for about 2 months now. I have pretty big hands, and I find that my clutch hand doesn't get tired anymore.

For almost a year now I've run the Easton EXP bars/clamps/grips system. Hands down,the best in the known world. Thanks to last years TWMX 2008 X-mas list.
