Portland Design Works Cork Chop Grips, Bicycle Handlebar Grips

I was browsing for some handlebars that would match a brown leather seat I have on my bike. I stumbled upon these cork grips and decided to give them a go. With so many $10-$15 grip options flooded all over Amazon I was hesitant to spend $30. However, the quality and comfort of these beautiful grips most certainly lives up to the price. They are extremely easy to equip, absolutely wonderful to hold and a joy to look at as well. I have ridden in rain and shine and they look as new as the day I bought them.If you’re riding a bike everyday for work or school, especially longer trips, I would definitely recommend picking up a set of these cork grips. Your hands will thank you for it.

Easy to install and good quality, these are really comfortable grips, especially given the flat section for your palm. I have them on an all black bike and they look great.

I recently changed over my bike from using the stock drop bars they shipped with to a more upright, city style and chose these grips. I love cork grips but had problems with them chipping/crumbling in the past. I chose these grips from PDW because they seemed to be a lot more substantial/rubberized, were adjustable, and had an ergonomic shape.So far I've been really happy with these. I've used Ergon grips in the past (similar feel) and actually prefer these. It all comes down to your preferences, but I would definitely recommend these if you're in the market for a good pair of cork grips. I've ridden with them in the rain and other inclement weather and they still look good as new. Despite what was mentioned in other reviews, I have soo far not had any issues with the glue slipping or rotation, thankfully.I've included a photo of how these look on my bike so you can get an idea of the real-world dimensions.

Nice feel but end caps don't fit my handlebars

The two positive features for these grips are: 1: the looks, and 2: the comfort on the hands and wrists. I had used them before, but the old ones got ruined after an accident. They are a better product than those available at most bike shops.

I bought these to try something different, and I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with the contouring and comfort of these grips. It’s like they were designed for me. My hands just lock into place. They have a great aesthetic, and they are quite grippy. The palm support is just enough without looking goony. Kudos, Portland Design Works!

Very solid construction, and a bit more durable than my other favorite grip (Spec. BG Contour). These are just right for my hands and they just disappear. All I know is the bar control is excellent, and the cork grips looks fantastic. Add in their lifetime warranty and these are quite a deal for quality grips that look cool.

I like the cork and the shape of the grips they were easy to put on. I have a big problem with the cork coming off the underlying black plastic. I have had to glue the cork part back on several times to keep them from sliding off while riding. Took several tries to find the glue that worked (super glue), but once I got them to stay in place they are good.

great quality feel!
