Odi Grips Bonus Pack Rogue Long 130 mm

Ive put in a few rides on these grips and man are they comfortable! They are very plush but not to the point you lose any feel of what the bike is doing beneath you. You could definitely use these grips without gloves and still feel comfortable. I especially like the grippiness of the material theyre made of, its confidence inducing. Also, They are thicker than the stock grips on my 2018 Trance 2 and to me thats a good thing. Not that the stock grips were bad but these definitely feel better on my average sized hands. I only gave three stars to the durability category because Ive only had them for a few weeks. We will see how long they last but you cant go wrong with ODI. The one thing that irks me about these dual locking ring grips is that one screw of one locking ring faces away from the rider and the other faces towards the rider. It really sets off my OCD!! Lol Other than that small, maybe insignificant to others, nuisance these grips are excellent. Update: I had my front wheel washout on me at 20+ mph, handlebar crashed into the ground and the end cap on the grip stayed in place. There was only minor scratching on the locking ring. Looks like these grips and its components are made to last.

Use: 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.

The grips feel very well built, nice and firm with a lot to grip on. The installation part is a bit annoint, trying to get the lockons to fit the grip ends, also it appears that the lockons are pressed all the way to the grip (meaning theres a small, 2mm gap between the lockon and the grip). Very good value!

These are my favorite MTB grips. Tons of grip and soft enough to be comfy. I have them on all of my bikes.

Very “sticky” and soft. Works well when hands are sweaty as well.

This is replacement for oem grips on my Norco Truax 1 freeride mt bike. I have actually seen Rogues on mt bikes of pro/competition mt bike riders so I knew they are great grips. The Rogue is slightly thicker than my oem grips (made by ODI) or the ODI Ruffian. I thought Rogues would be a little softer on the hands for bumpy downhill trails w rocky drops, and roots, and jumps. They are softer. But on the first rides with them the extra thickness felt like a hand full and the slight extra softness took a bit to get used to. This would probably not be noticed on a typical xc mt bike trail. My hand size is mens Large, and wear TLD gloves. I think theyre very good grips and I will keep them on. I can highly recommend, especially you are mostly on xc trails. I am curious though and want to try the Ruffians, which think will feel a little firmer thus more responsive for downhill. These are the slightest of personal preferences and each rider needs to find.his/her own.

Great grips, easy install, I really like the double lock ons. They stay put and offer all the grip and comfort I needed.

Pretty simple to install as long as you have an Allen wrench set. The rubber is fairly soft which is more comfortable than my grips that came with my Trek. My hands never got sweaty as some have mentioned. They have large grooves to channel air to your hands.

Ive 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.

An upgrade old Grip Shifters on my mountain bike to trigger shifters required new grips. A search for something that could be easily removed when I get a new handle bar later turned up this product. There seems to be universal praise for the ODI Rogue and Yeti on the mountain bike forums. After going back and forth between the two, I selected the Rogue only because its a bit smaller diameter. Im very happy with the choice. These are very grippy for riding bare handed or with gloves. The cushy comfort is amazing. There is not much in the way of installation instructions on the package. you will want to assemble the clamping rings to the grip BEFORE putting it on the bike. Line up the ring with the grip and try to get the tabs to snap in at the same time (youll see what I mean if youre holding them). Putting the end cap on is easy if you spread the clamp just a little with a flat bladed screwdriver in the gap to open the diameter and snap it in. Just be careful not to scratch the aluminum with the blade tip. Then put the screws in hole, slide it in place and tighten in down.
