Male and female versions, not sure what the difference is but they really do work for me. No more numb fingers.

these are no good if you have twist grip, these are standard handlebar grips, as I only have
peddle sensor these are ok for my bike.

They took about 2 weeks I think, you remove your old grips and slide these on, they hold on by a
allen bolt, the end piece grips the rubber grip on to the handle bars.

True, fine for pedelec and regular cycle. Mine are fitted to my hybrid. My e-bike with throttle does cause wrist to suffer. Not, I feel due to the grip itself but the fact that I am unable to change positions.

I have found that I can move hands to bar ends when at a constant speed, keeping throttle set with inside of hand. Helps somewhat. Real solution for me would be to fit a thumb throttle.

I went over to "ergonomic" shaped grips as soon as they appeared.

I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and the additional palm support really eases the problem.

I have the solid rubber type and the sleeved ferrule type on my various bikes.

The ferrule type are very easy to remove and refit, but the solid rubber are slightly more comfortable.
