> "Certainly these lock-on beauties, manufactured by grip kings ODI, round out the series nicely. I admit I've been riding “Ruffians” as long as I can remember for their narrow profile and stickiness. However, the Diabolus grips have upped the ante. Their dual density compound, narrow profile and slightly convex shape offer the same narrow profile as the Ruffians but with an improved grip."

> Race Face have slimmed their Lock-On grip down over previous years and we love them all the more for it. They retain their logo as the source of their grip pattern and rely on a very tacky rubber compound to give good friction. The feel of the grip is better with gloves to begin with, but softens up with use.
