Nice grips
Quick shipping and arrived as advertised. Nothing special about these but they installed quickly, fit well and feel nice on the hands. To slide them on easily simply wet down the handlebar and slide on the grip with a slight twisting motion. Mine were a bit long so I simply trimmed the inside of the grip a bit to fit the bike.As a 20 year member of Amazon I rely on independent reviews when shopping and I will always try to be as honest and impartial as I can and will try to provide helpful insight into the product.

Easy to install if you follow this advice....
I read a number of Amazon reviews before purchasing these grips, and I'm so glad I did! One of the reviewers mentioned wetting the inside of the grips with alcohol before sliding them on to the bike. So, I did what any person would do; opened the package and tried to put the grips on. I got about two inches onto the handlebar and couldn't slide them any further. So I grabbed a bottle of rubbing alcohol, squirted some into the grips, and like MAGIC - they slid right on to the bike handle with no problem. My daughter and I were amazed. She is now happily riding around on her bicycle with pretty pink grips.

Perhaps a bit oversized
These were about the least expensive but still comfortable looking grips I could find on Amazon. I bought 2 pairs to replace the ones on my son's diamondback mtb and my Trikke. I believe both have "standard" sized handlebars but these grips seem to fit a bit loose.The grips will slide into place with no extra materials, but they were a little loose. At first I pulled them back off and squirted a little soapy water inside, let them dry in the sun for 2 days to bake off all the moisture. I went on a ride, hit a bump on my Trikke, and the grip came off in my hand (I almost did a face plant). I pulled the other one off (somewhat easily) and cleaned both grips and the bars well with some fresh water then some alcohol to "degrease" the surfaces. I spritz some old hairspray on the bars and slid them into place. They've been drying for about a day but still seem a little loose. Only time will tell. If this doesn't work I'll wrap the bars with a few turns of electrical tape and reinstall. Hopefully that will do the trick.

The look great! Daughter loves them
Put these on my daughter's bike after a 1x conversion. Since kids bikes have narrow bars, I had to cut the a little part off to make them accomodate shorter bars, but since kids have smaller hands, this was not an issue. The look great! Daughter loves them!

Perfect winter biking grips with an old school look
I am a commuter biker; 8 miles a day in a good sized city. I was looking to replace the grips on my new fat bike. It came with a grip shiftier so it had the two different length grips. I swapped the grip shiftier for a quick shiftier (best move I ever made!) and put on these on. They fit perfectly and went on easy with a little rubbing alcohol. I like the BMX look and for biking in winter gloves it provide a great bar feel! The price was right and the function really well. I would highly recommend!

Great handles
First off I was impressed with the shipment. Very quick. 1 day. Amazing. I was able to go bike riding the next day.Easy to put on. But here is a TIP: Put some vegetable oil in side and it just slips on! Don't worry it will dry inside after a few hours.

Good grip, similar to known brand, tips for installing
These are similar to a well known MTB grip brand, starts with an O. I have both and these aren't quite as soft, but get the job done. I did have one set of them come loose, but that had to do more with the conditions and probably the way I put them on. I had used a very small amount of mild dish soap. When they got wet from some rain, they started to come loose. I have tried taking them off, cleaning them and the bar well and spraying a little hairspray in them. I'm guessing they should dry and the starch will help them stick.

customizable for cheap
The only thing I found that I could custom fit to my handle bars. The stock gear-shifters on my handlebars take up too much room and had a hard time trying to find something that could cover the diameter of an adult bike but with a short length; and didn't cost an arm and a leg to custom fit. This option was perfect. Even if they don't last very long, they're still affordable enough to replace again.
