ODI Longneck SL BMX Grips

While designed specifically for BMX, their soft rubber compound and vibration-dampening qualities make them a popular choice for dirt jumpers and some mountain bikers who prefer a simple, slip-on grip. However, keep in mind they are not lock-on grips, so they may twist if not installed securely.

No, these are traditional slip-on grips. You can install them by using a bit of compressed air to slide them on, or by using a small amount of rubbing alcohol or hairspray as a lubricant, which will dry tacky to help keep the grip in place.

The flangeless design is preferred by riders who perform technical tricks like bar spins or tailwhips, as it removes the plastic flange that can get in the way of your hands. It provides a cleaner look and allows for unrestricted hand movement across the entire length of the grip.

The ODI Longneck SL is famous for its durability and soft rubber compound, which actually tends to get grippier as it wears in. They are designed to withstand the rigors of intense riding sessions, though the soft compound will naturally wear down faster than harder, less comfortable rubber grips.

The included end plugs are designed to fit most standard steel and aluminum BMX handlebars. If you are using extremely thick-walled bars, you might need to trim the plastic ribs on the plugs slightly for a perfect fit.
