A search on Boyesen's site for 'shockout' or 'grip' returns nada.

A Google search returns one hit..on DRN.

And THAT'S YOU.


Yes, no one knows (not me anyway) what you're referring to.

What I find interesting is the claim "DECREASE micro-trama [sp] and strains to the wrist". That in-and-of itself is appealing to me.

Of the variety of aches/pains I experience after heavy riding, it's wrist pain/soreness I find most troubling. In these instances, my wrists will hurt sometimes for days and feel sprained. Part of it's not being a young whippersnapper anymore, but it would be great to reduce the "damage".

Well now...if I'd'a SPELT it Korrectly!!!

But, now that I read all about it (all they WROTE about it), I still don't know anything about it.

My answer to your question is, 'I have no take on them at all.'


If they work as well as their RadValve...they aren't worth the money.

...and I don't even know what they cost!

micro-trama = scary sales talk?

I just don't buy it. I need a newly designed fork because over the years of eating with a non-ergonomic fork has led to micro-trama to my lips caused by incorrect angle. :roll:

I wasn't going to tell, but the cat's outta the bag now!!!

'Hi. My name is Inda...and I'm micro-trauma-lipped.' :cry:

If your bike handles so poorly as to require a death grip on the bars...change what's wrong!

The only reason to hold onto my bars is to steer the thing...well...and keep my hannies warm with my heated grips!! :wink:

Looks like it is just a dummy throttle tube like set up for the left grip. Probably works, but buying special grips or two pairs of regular grips (to get two throttle size grips) would suck.

$10 for a pair through Boyesen. A guy at the last HS said "His arm pump is almost non existent now" In principle it seems to allow the left hand to move like the right hand does on the throttle
