ODI Ruffian Mini V2.1 Lock-On Grips

Product Overview

The ODI Ruffian Mini V2.1 Lock-On Grips are an updated version of ODI's classic Ruffian Mini design, featuring a 110mm length and ultra-thin 29.5mm outer diameter for enhanced bar feel. Built from ODI's proprietary soft compound TPE material with the signature diamondized tread pattern, these grips use the v2.1 single-clamp lock-on system for secure, slip-free installation. The redesigned small flange protects hands without interfering with brake or shift levers.

Key Features

• Diamondized tread pattern – ODI's iconic raised diamond texture provides consistent grip and tactile feedback in all conditions, wet or dry
• Ultra-thin 29.5mm outer diameter – Slim profile increases bar feel and control, especially beneficial for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer direct handlebar feedback
• V2.1 single-clamp lock-on system – Single alloy collar per grip eliminates the need for wire safety, glue, or compressed air; ensures 100% slip-free performance
• 110mm grip length – Full-length design provides ample hand positioning options while fitting bars with tight control spacing
• Soft compound TPE material – ODI's proprietary thermoplastic elastomer compound balances cushioning with durability and tear resistance
• Redesigned small flange – Low-profile flange protects hands from end-of-bar impacts without blocking access to brake levers or shifters
• Reinforced grip ends – Soft but durable end construction resists tearing from bar-end impacts or crashes

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These grips fit any standard 22.2mm diameter handlebars commonly found on BMX, mountain, and dirt jump bikes. The single-clamp design requires at least 110mm of open bar space on each side, accounting for brake levers, shifters, or other controls. The ultra-thin 29.5mm outer diameter is ideal for riders who want maximum bar feel for technical riding, prefer slimmer grips, or have smaller hands. Best suited for BMX racing, freestyle, dirt jumping, and aggressive trail riding where grip security and feedback are critical. The soft compound provides excellent comfort but may show wear faster than harder compounds under abrasive conditions or frequent crashes.
