chris.clarkI've been using this model of grips for a few years now. They are usually the first addition to a new bike. The grips are easily installed. Some folks gripe about the installation of the end caps being difficult. I have found that placing the end cap on flush on one side, and then pressing the non-flush side against something like a car tire eases the "snap-tight" fit. This method also keeps me from marring the end cap. The grips "tack-up" nicely. I swear that the wetter these grips get, the better they "tack-up". They have a nice feel on the gloved-hand, and fill my hands well. The ODI Rouge also stands up well to abuse. Let's just say that I sometimes have difficulty keeping the rubber side down. These grips will take all that you throw at them. A little heavy...? Well, maybe. Compared to a foam grip they are heavier. But you won't get a foam grip to stand up the any abuse like these will. I use the on my XC race, All-Mountain, and SS rigid bikes. Truly a great product.

A GuestThe ODI Rogues are comfy, unbelievably easy to install, and super clean looking on bike!
The price is a little higher than traditional grips, but they can be removed and re-installed even on different bikes! No more messing with window cleaner or hair spray or gasoline to mount up a new set of grips. Just slide the ODI's on and lock them down with the clamps.

agerweckThe ODI Rogues are easily my favorite lock-on Grip. They are very comfortable and easy to remove. I had a set that I used for an entire year and they still look brand new. I liked them so much I purchased a set of the gripshift grips to use on my commuter bike. The only issue I have with these grips is the initial setup, snaping on the rings can be a bit tricky.

A GuestMy go to grips and #1 mod on any bike I have. Numbness is gone and they are sticky! The best.

A GuestThese grips are great. Shipping was fast and the grips were pretty easy to install. They provide great grip and comfort on the trail.

A GuestNo installation instructions, it's kind of intuitive, but snapping the metal rings on the plastic/rubber grip takes quite some effort.
Once you get the rings on, it's pretty easy to slide the grips on and then screw them down.
They have a great solid feel and a feel really tacky initially.
So far no problems.
One star off for the installation, but otherwise I recommend.

andrewjvisserGrips are one of the first items I replace on a bike, and the Rogues are the best - comfort, chunky, and they stay put.

KurigaGreat upgrade for the racing slicks that made my hands go numb. These let me have an unbelievable grip on the bike. Will buy them again.

A GuestI had trouble with my stock grips always twisting on the handle bar and working their way out to the end of the bars. My son had a pair of the ODI grips and I really liked them. They are a little thicker than my stock grips and feel better in my hand. Snapping on the very tight metal clamps was a little bit of a pain but I found that lining up the clamp and grip and pushing the two together against the side of my wooden work bench did the trick.

moabjonBought these for our Specialized FSR Stumpjumpers and they are superb. We mainly do trail riding in Moab and Coastal CA and these grips are great for that.
Easy assembly and installation. The pieces snap together and then you need a 2.5mm hex to install them on your handlebars.
Have medium size hands and the size of the grips is nice. Good solid feel, grip surface has just the right amount of padding.

DBRider08Plain and simple, these are the best grips I ever purchased and it grips like glue. It fits my big hands perfectly. What more do ya want?!?
reviewed by:
A GuestThese were a pain to install since there were no instructions or tips and the end caps DO NOT FIT on the grips. I had to pry them open while trying to jam the grip in and eventually got them in. These grips are about a full inch shorter than the stock grips on my Giant AC2.
I love the feel so far though. Another fail on these I have noticed it how much of a pain it is having metal at the end of your bars instead of rubber. It is a lot harder to lean the bike against things without it slipping/falling. These are well padded and wide feeling which is great for my large hands.

texaus007I installed these grips on my wife's bike and it was a super simple install. The grip is really tacky and it has quite a bit of cushioning. My only gripe would be that the grips are pretty narrow. I typically wear Medium to Large gloves and my hand touches the metal locks on both sides of the grip. This would irritate me. However, my wife has a smaller hand so it's not a problem for her.
