ODI knows a lot about grips, outfitting basically anything with a handlebar for over 25 years. Their deep experience extends to sportbikes, ATVs, and even snowmobiles and jet skis. Their Elite Pro Lock-On grips have a quite impressive name, but are they worthy of it?
ODI Elite Pro Lock-On grip features
- Ergonomic design conforms to riders hand without feeling bulky, provides padding where it is needed most
- Half-Waffle pattern on the front of the grip provides extra control when you are off the back of the bike
- New Single Clamp — Version 2.1 Lock-On System for more usable grips space and improved comfort on the outside of the grip
- Variable knurl pattern alternates from smooth to sharp texture to provide more traction without irritating your hands
- Reinforced End molded out of soft, but durable material to prevent grip blowout
- Available in Red/Black, Black/Black, Graphite/Black
ODI Elite Pro Lock-On grips installation
I slid the Elite Pro grips on my bars and tightened the single lock-on clamp, installation is about that easy (man, do I love lock-on simplicity!). I did take a moment to line up the raised center portion and the waffle pattern of the Elite Pros just so.

I remember when ODI's first (they were the innovators) lock-on grips showed up years ago, and I distinctly remember how stoked I was to not have to fight or slice my grips off. I've ridden single-sided lock-on grips in the past and feel confident in their anti-throttling ability, having only slightly spun one grip on a particularly dumb move.

First impressions were favorable, with a slim, yet contoured feeling. Slim grips do an excellent job of relaying tire and terrain information through your hands. The downside is that thin grips don't have much in the way of cushioning.
