ODI is where heritage grips meet modern ride comfort. We believe in grips that deliver serious control without causing hand fatigue, designed for how you actually ride your bike. Every grip comes from decades of design tuned into real rides, not just the showroom.

ODI began in the early 1980s in California when Herb and Kay Guerr first made the iconic "Mushroom" ribbed design. They were running a moulding company supplying skateboard rails, boogie board handles and more, before BMX riders latched onto those grips and made them a BMX classic.

In the mid-1990s Dave Grimes took over ODI, started treating rider feedback as engineering data and introduced the first commercially successful Lock-On grip. That grip style makes it simple and secure to swap grips and has become standard worldwide. What started in Muscle Beach skate parks and SoCal BMX tracks now benefits every rider by pushing comfort, durability and practicality.

• ODI Grips

• In-house design and moulding. All grip shapes, textures and compounds are developed and made by ODI so quality and innovation stay real.
• Lock-On system leadership. ODI pioneered the design where grips clamp instead of glue, making installation cleaner, faster and more secure.
• Purpose-built compounds. Soft zones where your hands need cushioning, firmer material where durability matters most.
• Rider feedback driven. Ideas grow from real riders—BMX, Mountain Bike, Motocross—all informing grip patterns, sizes and features you feel on your next ride.
