Default New Grips

I got new Driven Grips for my bike. I know the white will get dirty fast but I think that it looks cool.

Yeah, they aren't for everyone for sure! As far as bling factor goes, shoot bro, you can get these in like 30 different color configurations. The only less "blingey" would be black/black.

Whats the point of all that other bling stuff that is $40 better than a regular piece of molded rubber tube?

They make your chrome plated chain look less gay.

Not sure I'd rock the hard part around the thumb n index finger. What do you do if caught in the wet? Is the rest of the grip plastic, knurled metal or rubber?

?Black part is aluminum and the white is a special rubber compound.

Looks good. I was gonna ask what Ty did. Is the white rubber or metal or something else?
