ODI Parts

ODI is the global benchmark in grip technology, manufacturing high-performance handlebar grips in California, USA, for more than forty years. Renowned for inventing the Lock-On Grip system, ODI revolutionized how riders interact with handlebars across motocross, downhill mountain biking, and electric off-road disciplines. On high-torque electric motorcycles, where rapid acceleration and violent vibrations can twist or loosen traditional slip-on grips, ODI's lock-on collar architecture provides 100% slip-free security, ergonomic vibration damping, and effortless installation across all handlebar platforms.

In off-road riding, the physical contact point between the rider's hands and the handlebar is vital for safety and control. Traditional rubber grips require messy chemical glues, safety wire, and hours of curing time to install. Even with glue, water intrusion from rain, puddles, or bike washes often causes traditional grips to break loose and spin on the handlebar—a dangerous condition during aggressive riding. ODI solved this by developing the patented Lock-On system. By molding high-traction proprietary rubber compounds over a rigid plastic inner core secured by anodized aluminum lock collars, ODI grips clamp mechanically to the handlebar using a single Allen bolt. On electric dirt bikes like the Sur-Ron, where instant torque places continuous rearward pulling force on the rider's hands, ODI grips provide positive mechanical lockup, targeted palm padding for vibration damping, and half-waffle finger traction for wet and muddy conditions. This ensures that the rider maintains absolute control during high-speed hill climbs, rough rock sections, and rapid directional changes.

We stock the premier grip upgrade for electric off-road handlebars:

- **ODI Elite Pro V2 Lock-On Grips (SKU: SR-ODI-0015)**: Featuring an asymmetrical ergonomic design with an offset variable-density diamond knurl pattern that places more damping rubber on the palm side for vibration absorption, paired with a half-waffle underside for secure finger grip. - **Single-Clamp Version 2.1 Design**: Uses a single inner locking collar to maximize usable grip surface area all the way to the outer bar edge, preventing pressure points on the outside of your hands. - **Reinforced Bar Ends**: Molded end caps engineered to resist impact damage and tearing when the bike tips over on the trail. - **Durable Elastomer Formulation**: Formulated from ODI's proprietary synthetic rubber that maintains tackiness without becoming gummy or sticky under UV exposure.

Grip upgrades benefit every rider who spends time in the saddle:

- **Riders Experiencing Hand Fatigue or Arm Pump**: The variable-thickness rubber compound in the Elite Pro series absorbs high-frequency vibrations from trail chatter, keeping hands relaxed and reducing fatigue. - **Wet & Muddy Trail Riders**: The raised half-waffle pattern gives your fingers a mechanical ledge to pull against, preventing hands from sliding off the controls in wet or muddy conditions. - **Riders Who Want Fast, Clean Installation**: Installing or replacing ODI grips takes under two minutes with a 3mm hex wrench, with zero messy glue, solvent, or safety wire required. - **Winter & Cold-Weather Explorers**: The compound stays supple in cold conditions, providing dependable traction when wearing thick off-road riding gloves.

Installing ODI lock-on grips on electric dirt bikes requires basic mechanical attention:

1. **Handlebar Sizing**: ODI grips fit all standard 22.2mm (7/8") diameter handlebars and handlebar riser ends. 2. **Left Side Grip Installation**: Slide the grip onto the left handlebar until the inner collar seats firmly against the bar end. Tighten the 3mm hex collar bolt to 2.5–3.0 Nm. Do not over-torque. 3. **Throttle Side Consideration**: On electric dirt bikes with integrated electronic throttle tubes, verify whether your throttle assembly accepts traditional slip-over sleeves or lock-on cores before installation. 4. **End Cap Clearance**: Ensure the outer bar end does not bind against the throttle sleeve to maintain instantaneous throttle return.
