ODI were the early pioneers of the lock-on handlebar grip and have been in the grip game since the 1980s. They’ve adorned my bikes from the early 2000s, with the ODI Ruffian being a firm favorite from its line-up, and I’ll admit to a shameless need to procure a set of the Vans collab grips when they were released.
ODI stands for Observe. Design. Innovate, and that shows in the creation of its new grip, the Vanquish, a new partnership with D3O. Employing the new D3O Grip Compound, it claims increased vibration dampening, shock absorption and deep comfort and control levels.
