ODI Elite Flow V2.1 Flangeless Lock-On Grips

Product Overview

The ODI Elite Flow V2.1 are lock-on grips designed for BMX racing and mountain biking. Built with an offset design and half-waffle pattern from ODI's soft Pro compound, they provide padding where needed most while maintaining control. Features the updated V2.1 single-clamp lock-on system for secure installation without end collars.

Key Features

• Offset grip design – Variable padding thickness places more material under the palm and less at the fingers, reducing hand fatigue during long motos or practice sessions

• Half-waffle pattern – Raised grid texture on the palm side provides grip traction while smoother zones reduce friction at finger contact points

• V2.1 single-clamp lock-on system – Updated lock-on design uses a single integrated collar instead of traditional dual clamps, reducing weight and simplifying installation

• Soft Pro compound – Softer rubber formulation improves shock absorption from handlebar vibration and impact loads compared to harder grip compounds

• Reinforced soft ends – Added material at grip ends prevents tearing from bar-end impacts or crashes while maintaining soft-touch feel

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

Designed for BMX race bikes and mountain bikes with standard 22.2mm handlebars. The lock-on system requires handlebar ends to be open (not compatible with handlebars with closed ends or bar plugs that cannot be removed). Best suited for competitive racing where vibration damping and secure grip retention are prioritized. The soft Pro compound provides excellent shock absorption but may wear faster than harder compounds—ideal for riders who value comfort over maximum durability. Flangeless design allows hand repositioning without interference. Not compatible with grip-shift shifters or twist throttles—verify handlebar compatibility before ordering.
