The Odi Grips F-1 Series Vapor grips are designed for cyclists seeking enhanced comfort and control without added weight. Made from an exclusive A.I.R.E. compound, these grips are over 30% lighter than traditional grips, offering a slower rebound for a more comfortable ride. While providing excellent grip in all conditions, users should be aware of the medium 31.5mm diameter which may not suit all hand sizes. Key features include the air-infused compound, reinforced inner layer, unique surface pattern, and ergonomic finger cutouts.

They are made from Odi's exclusive A.I.R.E. compound, which infuses air into the material, reducing weight by over 30% compared to traditional grip compounds.
Yes, the design prioritizes comfort and grip suitable for mountain biking, gravel riding, and general trail use. The medium diameter is a versatile choice for many disciplines.
A 31.5mm diameter is considered medium. Riders with smaller hands might prefer slimmer grips, while those with larger hands might opt for thicker grips. It's a good starting point if you're unsure.
While they are slip-on, using a grip-specific adhesive or a solvent like isopropyl alcohol during installation is recommended to ensure they stay firmly in place and do not twist or slip.
The grips feature a reinforced inner layer for added durability. The A.I.R.E. compound itself is designed to withstand regular use, though the air infusion might make it slightly less resistant to sharp impacts compared to denser materials.
The F-1 Series Vapor grips are available in multiple color options, including Black, Red, and Green, depending on the specific variant purchased.
These grips are proudly made in the USA.
The A.I.R.E. compound is designed for a slower rebound. Ensure the grips are fully seated on the handlebars and not twisted. If the issue persists, consider if a firmer grip material is preferred for your riding style.
Clean the handlebar ends thoroughly. Use a grip-specific adhesive or isopropyl alcohol to lubricate the inside of the grip and the handlebar, then twist and push firmly until fully seated. Compressed air can also assist in installation.
Remove the grips, clean both the inside of the grips and the handlebars. Reinstall using grip glue or a solvent for a more secure fit. Ensure the handlebar clamp area is not damaged.
While designed for all conditions, ensure the surface pattern is clear of mud or debris. Clean the grips with soap and water to restore their natural tackiness.
Setup:
These are slip-on grips. Ensure your handlebar ends are clean. Applying a grip-specific adhesive or a strong solvent like isopropyl alcohol can aid installation and prevent slippage. Slide the grips onto the handlebars, ensuring they are fully seated and aligned to your preferred position.
Compatibility:
Designed for standard bicycle handlebars with a 22.2mm clamp diameter. Always verify your handlebar diameter before purchase.
Care:
Clean the grips regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the A.I.R.E. compound. Periodically check for signs of wear and ensure they remain securely attached to the handlebars.
