Not bad but not good either (Product Review)

The Good

Feels beefy and great holding onto them. Not wearing out fast.

The Bad

What i dont like is that when i ride with them and my palms get little sweat they are slippery af, maybe problem is in me, i sweat alot but that slipping on them hella sucks

Overall Review
They look good and feel good in hand when palms are dry but when they get little bit wet it sucks.

ODI Longneck ST BMX Grips

ODI longnecks, the minion of grips. (Product Review)

The Good

Sticky, soft, long, perfect width.

The Bad

Nothing, seriously.

Overall Review
Amazing grip. There is a reason all the BMX pros who aren't sponsored by a grip company ride these. So sticky that gloves are not required, last a decent amount of time, grip the bar well and don't twist or slide, come with a great bar-end. If you do tricks and ride without gloves, get them. They are the grip that all others try to beat, but can't. Like minions haha

ODI Vans V2.1 Lock-On Grip

Great Medium to thicker thickness ODI option (Product Review)

The Good

-Thicker than ODI Ruffian -Slightly thinner than ODI Yeti's -Just the right amount of squishy but firm -Waffle pattern is great for fingers too -Vans steez

The Bad

Have yet to figure out that

Overall Review
Was running Lizard Skin lock ons for years that were about the same as the current North Shore. Love them until the rubber would go bad (got sticky like candy). The shop I went in to replace those had these and they felt on the thicker side of lock ons (like slightly thicker grips). Do really dig how the waffle pattern lets your fingers register where they are on the bar. And of course just like any ODI lock ons they super solid.

ODI Elite Pro Lock-On Grip

Great grip (Product Review)

The Good

Comfortable, easy to install.

The Bad

None I can think of.

Overall Review
Been running these ever since they were released a few years ago. Very comfortable even without gloves for my medium sized hands. Easy to install and adjust due to the 1 clamp system. Multiple colors are offered for those that need to color coordinate.

original ODI SDG Lock On Grip
ODI SDG Lock-On Grip

Good stuff - favorites (Product Review)

The Good

Medium thickness, Great grip - no hand slip, Comfortable

The Bad

Wear quickly, Narrow, Expensive to color code to your bike (17$ CAD end caps), Can't buy just the grip without the end caps

Overall Review
I've never been on board with super thin grips, they hurt my aging hands. After I had a scary moment (muddy hands)with a well known thin grip with little texture, I went looking for something else. I found the Hansolo grips by SDG and ODI. I thought, this looks interesting! They have reversed scalloped finger grips on the underside and SDG logos on the top, which provide cushion. I've never slipped a hand with these grips, no matter the weather. They are a medium thickness - 1/2 way between the Oury's and an ODI Ruffian. This is perfect for me. Downsides are that they wear quickly on the top...

ODI AG2 Lock-On Grip

Gwinning AG2 (Product Review)

The Good

Single Screw install

The Bad

Price vs other ODI grips

Overall Review
The design of the AG2 grips are interesting and it shows that there was a significant amount a thought and detail put into the R and D process. The quality in materials and fabrication meet or exceed anything else in the market. I enjoyed the flared out nubs on the ends. They worked our well in a few "hang on" sections of trail. While the grips are awesome for short DH work, for my needs of 1-2 hr trail rides I need some thing with a larger DIA and more cushion.

elite motion mint 1200x1200.png?VersionId=F3 8
ODI Elite Motion Lock-On Grip

Abysmal ergonomics & no cushioning. (Product Review)

The Good

N/A - grippy rubber wasted on unusable design

The Bad

Totally unsuited for offroad use. Worst-in-class shock adsorption due to excessively firm plastic chassis below thin rubber. Sharp outer beveled edge of grip wastes last 5mm of grip surface & negates advantages of single-clamp design.

Overall Review
Give these "Elite" grips a hard pass. ODI's grippy rubber compound has been wasted on a single-clamp grip that is built on a hard chassis with no give, and thus zero shock adsorption or long-term comfort. To make matters worse, the flared end is so abrupt, hard, and sharp edged that it is basically unusable as grip surface - you might as well have a second metal clamp there. Punchline: this is one of the poorest single-clamp options on the market. Santa Cruz Palmdales & Deity Waypoints (to name just two) are far superior in ergonomics, cushioning, and usable length.
