ODI Aluminum End Plugs

Product Overview

ODI Aluminum End Plugs are anodized 6061 aluminum bar ends designed to protect handlebars and grip ends from impact damage during crashes or wall contact. Featuring a triple-core design for secure internal retention, these 32mm outer diameter plugs fit most standard BMX and mountain bike handlebars. Sold in pairs with multiple anodized color options for customization.

Key Features

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These plugs fit most standard handlebars with internal diameters that accommodate 32mm plugs—this includes the majority of BMX, mountain bike, and dirt jump bars. Verify your handlebar's internal diameter if using oversized, undersized, or specialty bars. The triple-core design expands inside the bar when inserted, creating friction fit without glue—tap plugs in firmly with a rubber mallet or palm strike until seated flush with bar end. Ideal for street and park riders who frequently contact walls, rails, or ground with bar ends during tricks like wallrides, rail rides, or crashes. Also benefits dirt jumpers and trail riders who want added protection from impacts. The aluminum construction provides superior protection compared to plastic plugs but adds slight weight—minimal trade-off for durability. Color options allow riders to coordinate with grips, frame accents, or other anodized components for customized appearance. Not designed as grip retention—these are end caps only and should be used in conjunction with lock-on grip clamps or proper grip installation methods.
