I have these on some riser bars on my mountain bike. I know someone who put them on their funky figure 8 (don’t know what they are really called) looking bars on her touring bike and she loves them too. I was getting numb fingers on rides and these cured the issue although I think I still lean too heavily and grip too tightly on the bars during rides. They have softened up a bit since I bought them and seem to separate just a bit between the metal locking edge and the rubber where your palm rests. No tearing has occurred yet but I could see this as a weak point in the future. Very comfy and have held up for 18 months so far.

I have been using these on my commuter bike for about a year. they’re very comfortable on long rides. The only complaint I have is, once I wore through the gray patch, it became a sticky mess. That portion of the grip can’t handle the Arizona heat! I flipped the grips over and should get another year out of them. If I buy a second pair, I’ll put them on upside down first. Once I’ve worn that side out, the top side will be like a new pair of grips
