> 24 hourThese are the most comfortable grips that Ive ever found. I have them on my Honda CRF230f, I have them on my KTM500exc and now I have them on my mountain bike. So soft and grippy, so they wont last forever but theyre worth every penny.

> 24 hourUse: MTN Biking Experience level: Advanced The increased diameter of these grips was just what I needed to spread pressure out on my hands to stop the soreness and numbness I was getting with my thinner ODI grips. The grip and feel were excellent. Nothing to distract you on really technical sections of trail. No slipping. If you are having problems with sore and/or numb hands or just like a chunkier grip and need something for high performance MTB riding, give these a try; They should improve your riding experience.

> 24 hourI love these hand grips so much, I literally cannot stop fixating on them. So much so in fact, sometimes I forget how fast I’m going down the trail, and end up hugging a tree. That’s ok though, because these handle grips can handle the abuse. One thing that I should mention, is that the package comes with a cutout on the front, and when I was taking the first pair of handle grips I ordered out of the box they came in, the 4 little tension screws fell out onto my floor, which I did not notice until after I had returned the first pair, and received the second.

> 24 hourIve been on a journey with a 2003 GT Palomar. I didnt care for how it rode, fit or shifted, when it was given to me new in 2004. So after a few short rides it was put in shed. When it saw daylight for a ride in 2013, it was hit on the rear wheel by a car. The wheel was bent so badly that I was barely able to limp it home with the V-brakes removed and pads released. Then it went back in the shed. In 2021, it saw daylight again as I was going to junk it. I didnt think the cost of a wheel straightening, or new wheel and tune up at a bike shop was justified on a 20 year old $230 bicycle. But, it but it had less than 100 miles on it and seemed to be comparable with some new bikes in the $500 and up range. So I cleaned it up and figured Id try to fix, service and sell it. I watched videos and fixed the indexed shifting and straightened the wheel. Then gave the old GT a full teardown and service. On a test ride, it was smoother and quieter than anything Id ever owned and I figured no one would give me what I felt it was worth. It also had a Chrome Moly frame that I prefer over the ride of the newer aluminum frames. So, I decided to try to make it fit me better instead of selling it. I replaced the stock seat post with an Orign8 400mm and the bars with Bucklos risers to make the bike fit better. It fit better, but still wasnt right. So, I thought new grips would feel better and might help with the fit and handling issues. Based on some research and reviews, I decided to try the ODI grips. Especially as several reviews mentioned that they were comfortable and fit larger hands. Even though they were longer than the 100mm stock grips on the GT, I ordered them in. Hindsight being 20/20, I ordered these grips, before trying to simulate how a 130mm grip would feel on my bars with the grip shifters. When I simulated a narrower hand position on the bars during a ride, I found that the bike feel worse. But, when I tried a wider hand placement on the bars, the bike rode better. So I figured when the ODI grips arrived, Id return them and began searching for grips that seemed as plush as the ODI, but narrower than the stock 100mm grips I had. Unfortunately, I didnt find anything else I wanted to try. When the ODI grips arrived and I put my hands around them, they felt great. They are very comfortable. Firm, but have give when squeezed and are not slick on a bare hand. They are also larger, outer diameter, than my stock grips. But, they were too long for what I wanted. After looking at how the grips are constructed and how the locking rings work, I decided to try to modify them to meet my needs. I took a measurement, a deep breath and felt stupid taking a hacksaw to these brand new grips. A utility knife and file were also used to complete the job. In the end, the modification worked perfectly and the grips are maybe 80mm now. They solidly lock on to the bars, feel great and work perfectly with my Revoshift shifters. Ive done about 100 miles so far, bare hands and with light gloves, both on pavement and light trails. All has been good and comfortable. No regrets on this purchase and will be buying a set to replace the old Ourys on my 2006 Cannondale F2000SL. Please know the grips did not solve my riding and handling problems. I found more videos on riding position and eventually, after gradually lowering my seat about 1/2 and moving it forward about 1/4, the bike became a great handling, stable, ride. I also played with rolling my bars, shifters and brake levers slightly forward and backward. Hope this helps and ride safe.

> 24 hourIve ridden ODI for 5 years now. This is my favorite one of their grips after trying multiple different styles. They are Thicc Boi for sure but Im really enjoying how that feels. The rubber isnt too soft so they are lasting longer but I dont feel like Im sacrificing comfort

> 24 hourI prefer thick squishy grips on my mountain bikes. I live in Minnesota, and I bike in all types of weather, so I often wear varying types of gloves. Thicker grips help me to be able to hold on whatever gloves I am wearing. I havent had these very long, so I cant speak about longevity, but I have already used them in a range from 28-65 F and they are definitely the grips I was looking for. The thick grip pattern gives me a little extra material to grab onto. It is also a bit squishy, which keeps my hands comfortable for over an hour of riding at a time. The thickness also helps to insulate a bit to keep cold bars from making cold hands in below freezing temps. The installation was pretty simple, and the lock rings keep the grips in place, as they should. Im glad I chose these, and if your preferences are like mine, you will probably like them. If you are looking for something thin and light, try something else.
