Just thought I'd post up my experience.. I had been putting off replacing my grips for ages as they were really soft and comfy, but they finally wore through.

I opted for Superstars Supagripa, for 8 quid. My wife has Lizard Skins lock ons on her bike and I honestly can't tell the difference.

Certainly superior to anything else for under 12 quid.

    They're mostly the same, probably even from the same factory. They do wear pretty quickly, though replacement sleeved are about a fiver.

    I'm currently after some yellow nukeproof ones, but the stockist is reporting sold out with no date for them coming in :(

    EDIT: They've since put up the date they'll be in stock, 29th of this month :D

    Got 1 set my Carrera, 1 set on my lads BMX and a set on my daughters bike.....Can't go wrong for the cash.....Especially when they are exactly the same as a lot of other grips at 3x the price........

    for the cash they are excellent and I love the choice of colours. but IMO they're not as good as comfortable and grippy as lizard skins (peatys are excellent) or ODI.

    I have had mine since the start of September and they are already wearing through.
    Not bad when new but they don't last long at all which is disappointing regardless of the price.
    Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.
