Product Information

Full details

The ODI AG-1 Aaron Gwin Lock-On Grips are professional-grade mountain bike grips designed for downhill racers and aggressive trail riders who demand maximum control and feedback. Featuring a slim profile and the reliable Version 2.1 Lock-On system, these grips provide a slip-free connection to your handlebars and improved hand articulation, though the slim, firm compound may feel less forgiving for riders who prefer thicker, plush grips on long-duration rides.

FAQs

What is the diameter of these grips?

The AG-1 grips feature a slim, low-profile design optimized for tactile feedback.

Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?

Yes, they are compatible with standard 22.2mm diameter handlebars, including carbon, provided you do not exceed torque limits.

How long are the AG-1 grips?

These grips have an overall length of 135mm.

What tools do I need to install them?

You only need a standard 3mm hex wrench to secure the lock-on clamp.

Can I replace just the endcaps?

The endcaps are molded over the aluminum reinforcement. For the best safety and performance, the entire grip should be replaced if the endcap is significantly damaged.

Are they suitable for enduro or cross-country riding?

While designed for downhill racing, their slim profile and high-traction pattern make them an excellent choice for any rider who prioritizes bike control and feedback over heavy padding.

Troubleshooting

Grip rotation or slipping

Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and free of grease. Verify that the Version 2.1 clamp bolt is tightened to the correct torque specification.

Endcap shows wear

The hard plastic endcap is designed to be sacrificial. Check for structural damage to the aluminum core underneath; if the aluminum remains intact, the grip is still safe to use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% slip-free performance with the Version 2.1 clamp
  • Highly durable aluminum reinforced ends prevent blowouts
  • Ergonomic rib pattern matches natural hand articulation
  • Slim diameter provides excellent feedback and control
  • High-quality construction suitable for professional racing

Cons

  • Slim profile may lack the shock absorption of thicker grips
  • Firm compound may feel harsh on long trail rides
  • Single-clamp design requires precise positioning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the ODI AG-1 grips requires a 3mm hex wrench to tighten the Version 2.1 single-clamp system.

  1. Slide the grips onto your 22.2mm diameter handlebars.
  2. Position the clamp so the bolt is accessible and the ergonomic rib pattern aligns with your natural palm grip.
  3. Tighten the clamp bolt to the manufacturer's torque specifications; do not overtighten to avoid stripping the bolt.

For maintenance, keep the grips clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers which can degrade the grip compound over time. Periodically check the clamp bolt tension to ensure they remain secure after heavy use or impacts.
