ODI BJORN V2.1 FLANGELESS LOCK-ON GRIPS

Product Overview

The ODI Bjorn V2.1 Flangeless Lock-On Grips are sustainably manufactured handlebar grips made from 100% post-industrial recycled TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Built with ODI's V2.1 single-sided lock-on system and featuring textured padding with an ergonomic offset design, these grips provide comfort and secure hand placement while minimizing environmental impact. Made in the USA at ODI's headquarters using recycled material from their own grip production.

Key Features

• 100% post-industrial recycled TPE – Made entirely from recycled rubber collected during ODI's manufacturing process, retaining over 95% of the material's original durability and soft feel
• V2.1 single-sided lock-on system – One locking collar per grip (outboard side) provides secure grip placement while maximizing usable grip area
• Ergonomic offset design – Additional padding on the palm side improves comfort during extended riding
• Textured raised ribbed padding – Provides shock absorption and consistent tactile grip
• Thumb saddle – Contoured underside design improves thumb placement and comfort
• Flangeless design – No raised outer edge, allowing unrestricted hand positioning along the grip
• USA-made – Manufactured at ODI's US facility with in-house recycled materials for consistent quality control

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These grips fit standard BMX and mountain bike handlebars with consistent outer diameter along the grip area. Lock-on grips require handlebars without existing grip collars or protrusions in the grip zone. Most modern handlebars are compatible. The 135mm length is slightly longer than standard BMX grips (typically 130mm), providing additional hand contact area. Verify your handlebars have smooth, cylindrical grip areas before ordering.

Best suited for riders who prioritize sustainability without sacrificing performance, or those seeking ergonomic grips with enhanced comfort features. The single-sided V2.1 lock-on system secures the grip while maximizing usable grip surface—the single collar eliminates the inner collar found on double lock-on systems, providing more unrestricted hand placement area. The offset padding and thumb saddle design reduce hand fatigue during long rides or rough terrain by distributing pressure more evenly. The raised ribbed texture absorbs handlebar vibration and provides consistent grip. The 31mm diameter is slightly thicker than standard 30mm grips, suiting riders with medium to larger hands or those who prefer more cushioning. Sustainability note: These grips deliver full performance while reducing waste—the post-industrial recycled material retains over 95% of virgin material properties. Installation: Apply rubbing alcohol or soapy water to the handlebar before sliding grips on—this lubricates installation and evaporates quickly for secure collar tightening. Tighten the single lock-on collar evenly with appropriate torque. Check collar tightness periodically, especially after initial installation.
