LifeLine Ergonomic Grip from Wiggle

Anybody given it a whirl? Guessing it's unique to Wiggle, as I can't find any other suppliers. Wondering if it's a nice little bargain, or cheap and nasty?

I used similar ones for a long time on my MTB. They do two things: a) give your palms a larger surface area to rest on and b) keeps your wrist-forearm in line if you adjust the grips to force you into that position. The latter is important for helping with some injuries. I used the Ergon ones with integrated bar ends for about three racing seasons to ease my carpal tunnel syndrome (self-diagnosed or assumed).

Yes lifeline is wiggles own brand. They look ok. Personally I've used the Specialized ones which have the advantage of coming in different diameters for smaller hands. Far preferable to round grips IMO

Yeah, I'm in the market for some ergonomic grips. One ones on my Roam are comfy enough, but they're not fixed, and it's very frustrating how often they move! Just trying to figure out if the likes of Ergo ones are 4 times better than these lifeline ones, as they're 4 times the price?
