ODI Elite Pro V2 Lock-On Grips

The ODI Elite Pro V2 Lock-On Grips are the gold standard in handlebar control, vibration damping, and ergonomic comfort for electric dirt bikes. Manufactured in California, USA, by ODI—the legendary pioneer that invented lock-on grip technology—the Elite Pro V2 combines an asymmetrical variable-density diamond knurl pattern with an offset palm cushion and a half-waffle finger underside for unmatched trail control.

On high-torque electric off-road motorcycles, traditional slip-on rubber grips present major safety issues: instant motor torque places continuous rearward pulling force on the rider's hands, while rain, mud, and bike washes cause glued grips to break loose and spin on the handlebar. The ODI Lock-On 2.1 system eliminates grip slip forever by molding traction rubber over a rigid composite inner core that clamps mechanically to the bar using an anodized aluminum lock collar and a single 3mm hex bolt.

Ergonomic Offset Padding & Fatigue Reduction: The Elite Pro features an engineered offset design that places more damping rubber on the palm side to absorb high-frequency chassis chatter and motor vibrations, while maintaining a slim profile on the underside where fingers grip. This targeted cushioning reduces palm pressure points and eliminates arm pump during long mountain rides.

Wet Weather Traction & Finger Ledges: The raised half-waffle finger pattern gives your fingertips a positive mechanical ledge to pull against during aggressive standing accelerations, preventing hand slippage in wet and muddy conditions.

Installation & Throttle Clearance: Slide the grip onto the handlebar until the collar seats, position the logo facing upright, and torque the 3mm collar bolt to 2.5–3.0 Nm. Ensure adequate clearance between the throttle sleeve and grip end cap so the throttle snaps shut freely.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do I need glue or safety wire to install ODI Lock-On grips? A: No. ODI Lock-On grips clamp mechanically to the handlebar using an aluminum lock collar, requiring zero glue or wire.

Q: What is the benefit of the asymmetrical Elite Pro design? A: It places thicker rubber padding under your palm for vibration damping while keeping the underside slim with a half-waffle pattern for maximum finger grip.

Q: What handlebar diameter do these grips fit? A: They fit all standard 7/8" (22.2mm) handlebars and riser bars.

Q: What torque should be used on the lock collar bolt? A: Torque the 3mm Allen bolt to 2.5 to 3.0 Nm.

Q: How durable is the ODI rubber compound? A: The proprietary medium-soft elastomer compound provides 1 to 2 seasons of aggressive riding without turning gummy or wearing smooth.

Single-Collar Ergonomics & Bar Width Utilization: The single-collar Lock-On 2.1 design eliminates the bulky outer metal collar found on older grip styles. This allows the rider's hands to utilize the full width of the handlebar without resting against a hard metal edge, preventing outer palm bruising during aggressive downhill descending.

Lock-On 2.1 Single-Collar Architecture: By using a single inner lock collar, the ODI Elite Pro V2 provides a seamless, smooth outer grip surface all the way to the bar end. This eliminates outer collar clamp discomfort and provides maximum usable hand width for riders wearing thick off-road gloves.

Proprietary Elastomer Formulation & UV Resilience: The custom rubber compound maintains its supple, tacky grip profile across extreme temperatures from freezing winter trail rides to scorching summer desert tracks, resisting ozone degradation and UV hardening.
