ODI Vans V2.1 Lock-On Grips

ODI Vans V2.1 Lock-On Grips

The ODI Vans V2.1 Lock-On Grips are an updated collaboration between ODI and Vans, translating Vans' classic waffle outsole pattern into a functional grip design. Manufactured from ODI's soft compound TPE material, these grips prioritize tactile feedback and control while maintaining the aesthetic connection to Vans' iconic shoe tread. The v2.1 single-clamp lock-on system secures the grips with one collar per side, simplifying installation and eliminating grip twist during use.

Key Features

• Vans waffle pattern design – Grip surface replicates the texture of Vans shoe outsoles, providing a familiar tactile feel and proven traction pattern adapted for handlebar use
• Soft compound TPE material – ODI's proprietary thermoplastic elastomer offers a balance of cushioning and durability, absorbing handlebar vibration while resisting tearing
• V2.1 single-clamp lock-on system – One collar per grip side uses an anti-rotation interface to prevent grip movement, reducing installation hardware and weight compared to dual-clamp systems
• 31mm diameter (slim) – Smaller outer diameter suits riders with smaller hands or those who prefer less bulk between hand and bar for improved bar feel
• Reinforced end caps – Durable end plugs protect bar ends from impact and prevent grip blowout during crashes or bar-end contact
• Small flanges – Minimal flange design provides hand positioning reference without restricting movement or interfering with brake lever placement
