Hey folks, Mike Sleeter here with a look at the ODI Lock-On Dreadlock Foam Grips. If you’re into XC riding and you haven’t checked these out yet, you might want to!
The ODI Dread Lock Grips is a tribute to MTB legend Tinker Juarez, designed for riders who demand both style and performance. Inspired by Tinker’s iconic dreadlocks and his fearless approach to riding, these grips bring a touch of his revolutionary spirit to your bike.
Key Features:
Signature Design: Featuring a unique tread pattern that mirrors the flowing, bold style of Tinker’s dreadlocks, these grips provide excellent traction and control.
Comfort and Durability: Crafted from ODI's proprietary rubber compound, the Dread Lock grips offer a comfortable feel while ensuring long-lasting durability through the toughest rides.
Enhanced Grip: The aggressive knurling and textured surface ensure maximum grip, giving you confidence and control in all conditions.
Sleek Aesthetics: With a design inspired by Tinker Juarez's distinct style, these grips not only perform but also make a bold statement on your bike.
First off, let’s talk comfort. These grips are all about the foam life. You’ve got this cushy, vibration-absorbing foam that makes your hands feel like they’re getting a spa treatment while you’re out smashing those trails. The texture’s got this cool Dreadlock pattern that’s grippy as heck, even if things get a bit muddy or wet. No more slipping around—your hands stay put, and you stay in control.
Now, the lock-on system is where things get real. ODI’s lock-on design means no more messing around with grip tape or worrying about your grips twisting mid-ride. The clamps do the job, and it’s a solid setup. Just slide them on, tighten them up, and you’re good to go. Easy peasy.
As for durability, these grips hold up pretty well. The foam does its thing for a long time, but like anything, they’ll show some wear eventually. Keep an eye on them if you’re riding a lot.
Weight-wise, these grips are pretty light. They strike a nice balance between being cushy and not adding too much heft to your bike. Perfect for those long XC rides or races where every gram counts.
Overall, if you’re looking for something that gives you a comfy, secure grip on your handlebars and doesn’t fuss around with installation, the ODI Lock-On Dreadlock Foam Grips are definitely worth a look. They’ve got the comfort and control dialed in, making your ride a bit more enjoyable and less of a hand workout.
That’s it for now—happy trails and keep those wheels rolling!
