I'm indifferent about the horns, but the actual grippy part, the main contact area is amazing if you have hand stress and your hands often get tired or numb during rides. Since I started with my Ergon, I have not had that problem once. The horns however, are very slippy. Useful, but very slippy. The plastic endcaps that fit in the bar to cover the hole aren't entirely useful in all cases... I had to shave mine down to fit in my bar. Then when I moved to another bike, I needed them the original size, and the shaved down wouldn't fit. :( (Has to do with inside diameter of handlebar tubing.) I think a great improvement to these bars would be making that area flat, where the endcap didn't require a proprietary oval tilted piece. Just my 0.02 :) Thanks.
