FAQs

What makes the X-Treme Lock-On grips different from other Odi Grips?

The X-Treme model features a unique combination of a thick, chunky knurl pattern and a raised diamond plate texture, specifically designed for maximum traction and hand padding in challenging conditions. It also uses the Lock-On system for secure mounting.

Are these grips suitable for all types of cycling?

While designed for demanding conditions, they are primarily intended for mountain biking, downhill, and aggressive trail riding where maximum grip and control are paramount. They can be used on other bikes, but their aggressive texture might be more than necessary for casual riding.

How do I install the Lock-On grips?

Slide the grip onto the handlebar and align it. Tighten the integrated clamp bolts on both ends with an Allen key until the grip is secure and does not move. Install the Snap Cap™ end plugs.

What is the length of these grips?

The Odi Grips X-Treme Lock-On grips are 130mm in length.

Can I use grip glue with these Lock-On grips?

No, the Lock-On system is designed to be used without glue. The integrated clamps provide a secure, slip-free fit on their own. Using glue with Lock-On grips is not recommended and may damage the product.

How do I clean the grips?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before use.

What is the benefit of the tapered grip profile?

The tapered profile means there is more material in the areas where your hands typically make the most contact with the handlebar. This enhances comfort during long rides and provides better cushioning and control.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or spin on the handlebar.

Ensure the Lock-On clamp bolts are fully tightened. Check that the grip is correctly seated on the handlebar and not obstructed by any internal components. Clean the inside of the grip and the handlebar to ensure a secure fit.

Difficulty sliding grip onto the handlebar.

Ensure the handlebar diameter is standard (22.2mm). Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or grip-specific lubricant to the inside of the grip or the handlebar for easier installation. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants, as they can degrade the grip material.

Excessive hand numbness or discomfort.

Adjust the position of the grips slightly on the handlebar. Ensure clamp bolts are not overtightened, which can restrict blood flow. Consider if the thicker profile of these grips is suitable for your hand size and riding style. Experiment with different glove types.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional traction in all conditions due to textured pattern.
  • Secure, slip-free mounting via the Lock-On system.
  • Enhanced hand comfort and reduced fatigue from raised diamond pattern.
  • Durable construction for longevity.
  • Easy installation and removal with the Lock-On system.

Cons

  • Thicker grip profile may not suit riders with smaller hands or those preferring slim grips.
  • The aggressive texture could potentially cause wear on gloves over time.
  • Requires specific Lock-On clamps, not compatible with traditional grip glue methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The X-Treme Lock-On grips feature an integrated clamping system on both ends. To install, slide the grip onto the handlebar, ensuring it is positioned correctly. Then, tighten the clamp bolts securely using the appropriate Allen key. Ensure both clamps are tightened evenly for a stable fit. The included Snap Cap™ end plugs can be pressed into the ends of the grips.

Compatibility: These grips are designed to fit standard 22.2mm diameter handlebars, commonly found on mountain bikes and many other types of bicycles. The Lock-On system is specific to Odi Grips and requires their proprietary clamps.

Care: Clean the grips regularly with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the rubber compound or textured surface. Ensure the grips are dry before riding. Periodically check the tightness of the clamp bolts.
