Truvativ\u2019s Descendant grips are well-damped and consistently grippy in all weather.<\/p>

While the horizontal mushroom pattern gives a cushy feel to the grips, some riders won\u2019t like how this can move beneath the hand, causing rotational movement.<\/p>

The ridge pattern spans the length of the grip, with the top section starting with straight lines that slowly evolve into a mountain range when your fingers make contact.<\/p>

A relatively thin single clamp features on the inside of the grip which is used to secure the grip to the handlebar.<\/p>

The Descendant features a tapered design that nestles up to the single clamp and remains a consistent diameter of 32mm to the end of the bar.<\/p>

A hard plastic cap is incorporated into the end of the grip.<\/p>

The Truvativ Descendant mountain bike grips<\/a> measure 133mm and weigh 102g on our scales.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The Descendant grips are easy to install, with the single inside clamp bolt positioned out of the way of brake levers and gear shifters.<\/p>
A 2.5mm Allen key is used to tighten the bolt, which allows the clamp to be smaller than other grip clamps that use 3mm Allen keys.<\/p>
This smaller grip clamp was perfectly secure, with no movement detected even in wet weather.<\/p>
Smaller bolts can sometimes be easier to round out when swapping the grips over, but I found no issues attaching and removing the Descendants.<\/p>
I also found it shortened the reach from the rubberised part of the grip to my gear shifter and dropper lever which may be handy for smaller riders.<\/p>
The horizontal mushroom design is very grippy, crumpling under the hand as you grip tightly and giving you plenty to hold onto.<\/p>
One characteristic of this design is hand rotation. The mushroom ribbing isn’t that solid which leads to the individual ribs folding over, allowing some (and we\u2019re talking about a small amount, here) rotational hand moving.<\/p>
While I was initially wary of this, I soon found it quite comfortable with the movement being minimal and predictable when barehanded. But the added layer of a mountain bike glove<\/a> did accentuate the rotation further.<\/p>
The structure does a good job of damping the trail below, and the mountain range portion of the grip provides plenty of traction at your fingertips.<\/p>
I like the straight boxy end of the Descendant grips, as they allow you to overhang your hand without interference.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The Truvative Descendant Grip provides high levels of grip even in the bleakest conditions.<\/p>
While the horizontal mushroom grip pattern won\u2019t suit everyone, if you embrace the small amount of hand rotation it provides good cushioning and feedback through the bars.<\/p>
