Default Avon Air Cushion Grips

Just got the new Avon Air Cushion grips on. Went from stock to these. Wow! I like these grips. Didn't have gloves on today, but man these things have some grip (no pun intended). The grooves make it even a little more comfortable. Not sure I noticed any difference in dampening vibration. All in all I think these aren't too bad. I'd recommend if anyone is thinking about putting these on.

They will not work on fat bars. See the other thread for info on that . . .

There maybe some out there, but all the bars I have seen neck down to 1 inch at the ends for the controls and grips.

Here they are direct from the manufacturer:
http://avongrips.com/shop/products/A...ome-Grips.html

Just for the record, I've gone through two pair of these in 26K miles. TO be fair, Avon replaced them under warranty but both pairs of mine wore out prematurely. The rubber dissolves and begins to peel off, even if you were gloves all the time (like I do).

I've worn a little of the rough rubber surface down to smooth only on top of my left grip probably from riding one handed with cruise control on.Got about 13,000 on the grips,doesn't bother me,looking solid otherwise.I expect to get a lot of miles out of 'em.

Hard to say why they'd wear faster for some riders

My bars are 1 1/4 and neck down to 1".

The issue is that the grips are too short which leaves a 1/4 gap where they neck down. Take a look at that other thread for details.
