Full details

FAQs

Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?

Yes, these grips are compatible with carbon bars, but ensure you do not exceed the recommended torque limits for your specific handlebars.

Do these come with bar ends?

Yes, the v2.1 Lock-On system includes integrated end caps to protect your bars and the grips.

Can I use these on a road bike?

They are designed for 22.2mm flat handlebars common on mountain bikes; they will not fit standard drop-bar road handlebars.

What is the length of the grip?

The ODI Vans v2.1 grips are 135mm in length.

How often should I replace these?

Replacement intervals depend on usage, but you should look for signs of wear such as smoothing of the waffle pattern or visible cracks in the rubber.

Troubleshooting

Grip shifts during use

Ensure the single-clamp bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification using a 3mm hex key.

Difficulty sliding grip onto the bar

Ensure the handlebar end is free of debris or burrs and that the clamp bolt is fully loosened before installation.

Rubber feels sticky after cleaning

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to air dry completely in the shade; do not use heavy degreasers on the rubber compound.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic aesthetic with proven grip performance
  • Single-clamp v2.1 system is easy to install
  • Soft compound provides excellent shock absorption
  • Secure, slip-free locking mechanism

Cons

  • Soft compound may experience faster wear than harder grips
  • Vans pattern may be too aggressive for riders with sensitive skin
  • Requires a 3mm hex key for installation (not included)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the grips onto your handlebars until they are fully seated. Align the integrated clamp on the inner side of the grip and tighten the 3mm bolt to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification—do not overtighten. These grips are compatible with standard 22.2mm mountain bike handlebars. To maintain the life of the rubber compound, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning. Instead, use mild soap and water with a soft brush to remove dirt and grime. Store your bike out of direct, intense sunlight when possible to prevent the rubber compound from drying out or becoming tacky over time.
