Best Handlebar Grips – MTB Grips

Basic grips are rubber pipes that slide onto the end of your bike’s handlebars. Grip selection and positioning will impact braking control and gear switching and also hand and arm positioning. Excellent grips that suit your physical sizes, traveling style, and riding self-discipline will add comfort, ease, and control to your ride – bad, ill-fitting grips will result in troubles under pressure, hand pain, for Mountain Bikes, and even long-term pain. The problem in picking out grips from the many selections on the market is that what fits one person may not always suit another. In many cases, this is a matter of trying out a range of designs and types until you discover the set that is ‘right’ for yourself.

 

ODI Cross Trainer Grips

ODI Cross Trainer grips are replacement bicycle handlebar grips. While many bicycle grips merely slide onto the handlebars and therefore can slide around, these ODI lock-on grips bolt on to the bars with small lock rings on each side of the grip that keep the grip on tight with no slipping.

ODI Cross Trainer grips have a rubber cross-ribbed design. They are slimmer than some other popular grips, and the alternating rib pattern provides both a soft feel and some gripping traction. These grips come in standard 130 mm length, which may be slightly longer than some stock bike handlebar grips, but should be the right size for most adult-sized bikes. When ordering online, be sure to read the description closely to see if you are buying just the grips or the grips with lock-rings and end plugs – some sellers sell only the grips and assume you’ll buy the other stuff separately (you can buy different color lock-rings to customize your look). Often, you’ll see a “bonus pack” that comes with the clamps and snap-in end caps. These ODI grips come with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

 

ODI Rogue Grips

The selection of ODI Rogue Grips includes the right type for your bike riding style. At first glance, the grips appear to have a tread pattern similar to an all-terrain tire. This is done on purpose so the rider will have a firm grip in the handlebars of the bike so they will always be in control of it.

This is accomplished by not only the tread pattern but also the propriety compound they are constructed so they can absorb the maximum amount of shock while being used. This way your hands will always be in place to prevent an accident. The raised pads not only absorb some of the shocks from riding, but they also have large channels between them so dirt and water can be directed away from the contact area of the grips and hands. The performance of these grips is guaranteed to be 100% slip-free.

The ODI Rogue Lock-On Grip Bonus Pack has everything you need to equip your bike with this advanced safety device. This includes the grips, the lockjaw clamps and end caps that snap on along with the Allen wrench to secure the clamps down tight. If you have already made the switch to Odi grips then replace parts for each component is also available. This way there is no waste when making a purchase. This includes just the grips or the clamps and end caps which are sold separately.

 

ODI Ruffian Grips

The ODI Ruffian Grips are designed with a knurled surface that is narrower than ODI Rogue Grips and specifically designed for adults and children who have smaller hands. The narrowing of the grip does reduce the amount of shock-absorbing the grip has, but the pattern still gives the rider the same 100% Slip Free Performance as its cousin.

This maximum amount of traction of the grip helps riders to hang onto the handlebars when they are transversing rough terrain. The Ruffian grips are known as the original lock on the style of grips that have their patented lock-on clamp to ensure the grip does not slip off the handlebars no matter what the condition is.

Attached to the lock-on clamp is a snap-on end to help keep the water out of the handlebars and make the grips look stylish. The ODI Ruffian Grips were originally designed for the mountain bike racer that needed to reduce wind drag and weight while not compromising on the grip’s ability to remain tacky so contact with the rider’s hand is assured.

This is true no matter what conditions the grips are put thru including rain and muddy terrain. Each set of ODI Ruffian Grips in the bonus pack has the grips, the lock-on clamps, end caps, and Allen wrench to secure the grips to your handlebars. They also come in seven different colors to help match your bike and personal preference that include black, white, pink, bright red, lime green, aqua, and bright blue.
