Love the Love Handles!
Rating:
The Good
Durable, grippy, ergonomical, lots of trail feedback
The Bad
A bit unforgiving
Overall Review:

My old ODI Ruffian MX bit the dust and I was up for trying something new. The silicon material and shape of the grips convinced me to try something new. The shape of the grip, wider in the middle, narrower on the outer edges, makes for a very comfortable grip and your hand it always in the right spot. Another benefit to the shape, and one that surprised me, was that my pinky sat just inside of the outer lock ring, as opposed to on or over it (as it does on ODI Ruffians).When the trail gets narrow and I hit a tree with my bars, usually my pinky gets smashed up as well. The design of these grips stops that from happening. Bonus!

Another benefit of these grips over traditional ones is the silicon compound they use. I usually go through about 3-4 pairs of grips per season. These lasted me at least twice as long before I felt like they might need replacing. The grip pattern is also very grippy and I never felt like I needed more grip while descending rough trails even while wet.

The only negative I can think of (and it depends on preference only) is that they are quite narrow and you do feel a bit more of the trail. I personally enjoy this, but I know some people enjoy a thicker, softer grip to deaden some of that trail chatter.
