Odi Grips Bonus Pack Rogue Long 130 mm

There were on my wish list for a long time since I didnt really need new grips. Going into the summer, I wanted to freshen up a bike a bit, and so these make it on there. If youve changed grips on bikes before, well these are nothing like that. For these, the end pieces just tighten down on the grip section. They are very easy and quick to install with only a small hex wrench. Im pretty sure taking the old foam grips off and cleaning the area took longer that installing these. The grips are somewhat soft, and have lots of grip. Ive ridden many miles with them with no gloves and they will make your hands a bit red if you ride for house with a death grip on them, but nothing too bad really.

I put some RaceFace carbon bars on my bike which are stiff, light, durable and great looking - but really unforgiving. They beat my hands up. I added these grips for a little extra cush- and voila - problem solved. So far they are comfy and durable and were a breeze to install. Ive gotten a ton of riding in on them in insanely hot and humid weather. I do wear thin gloves, and they have been perfect.

I 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.
