DMR Muta Grips

Like any product from DMR, these come in a wide range of colours. Despite the brightness, the colour on my grips didn't fade, even when I washed the ingrained mud off by rubbing them with water. The bar clamp cleverly doubles up as a mini flange. Even on a dirt jump bike, this provided sufficient security. A huge positive to this is that the grips can be used with gears, as was proved when I bough another set for my downhill bike. You might be worried about the weak looking lettering, and how it will wear? Fear not! I had no problems with that, and the material that's used is great: even on a jump bike it was soft and forgiving on my hands. The grips have outlasted Nukeproof grips I've used, and match most grips out there. At £15.99, some faults can be forgiven. On my jump  bike, after over a year and a half's use, the material twists in my hand. However, how many grips last over a year and a half? Very, very few. The graphite bar end may look odd in photo's, but on the bike actually looks pretty good. It doesn't wear like painted or anodised bar ends either, so still looks good now. Bottom line? I'll keep buying them. There are competitors out there for sure, but the low price definitely gives them the edge. You can really 'fit and forget', and not have to worry about constantly tightening the clamps etc.
