Product Information

Full details

The ODI O Grip is designed for BMX and scooter riders who prioritize a blend of comfort and consistent control. With its classic waffle pattern and multi-directional ribs, it provides excellent shock absorption for high-impact riding, though its full-flange design may feel restrictive to riders who prefer minimalist or flange-free grip styles.

FAQs

What is the length of these grips?

These grips have a length of 143mm.

Do these grips come with bar ends?

Yes, each pair includes ODI Thug Plugs for the ends of your handlebars.

Are these suitable for stunt scooters?

Yes, the grip pattern and comfort levels make them excellent for stunt scooter setups.

Does the full flange get in the way?

The flange is standard for BMX; however, if you find it interferes with your setup, some riders choose to carefully trim it, though this is done at the user's discretion.

Can I use these on mountain bike handlebars?

While intended for BMX, they will fit any standard mountain bike bar. Note that they are not lock-on grips and may require glue or hairspray to remain secure on MTB bars.

Troubleshooting

Grips slipping or rotating on the bar

Ensure the bar surface is thoroughly cleaned with alcohol to remove grease. Apply a small amount of grip adhesive if the issue persists.

Difficulty installing the grips

Use the compressed air method to expand the grip as it slides onto the bar, or use a quick-drying solvent like hairspray or isopropyl alcohol.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent vibration dampening and shock absorption
  • Soft compound feels great right out of the box
  • Included Thug Plugs provide a professional, secure finish
  • Durable construction suitable for aggressive BMX use
  • Generous 143mm length accommodates wider hand positions

Cons

  • Full-flange design can interfere with certain shifter or brake setups
  • Softer compound may wear down faster than harder grip materials
  • Requires proper adhesive or locking for some handlebars to prevent twisting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of oil or debris. Using compressed air is the most efficient way to slide these onto your bars; if unavailable, a light mist of isopropyl alcohol can act as a temporary lubricant that dries quickly and leaves no residue.

  • Compatibility: Designed for standard BMX and scooter handlebars. Check that your existing brake or gear shifters do not conflict with the full flange.
  • Care: Clean the grips with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh solvents, as they can degrade the soft durometer compound. If the grips begin to lose their tackiness, light scrubbing with a soft-bristle brush can revitalize the surface texture.
