Odi Grips Ruffian Lock-On Grip
Product DescriptionThe ODI Ruffian Lock-On Grips are perfect if you have small hands or simply prefer small diameter grips. The file tread pattern ensures a good grip, even if you get sloppy in the mud. And if you feel like minimal grips offer maximal control, it doesn't get any more sensitive than this in a lock-on style grip. The lock-on cuffs guarantee the grip won't move until you want them to. They come with clamps, hardware, and end plugs. They also come in two lengths -- standard 115mm and SRAM for twist shifters.

Eric J Date Reviewed: May 29, 2013 Strengths: They stay put, they don't get too slippery when wet, they can be taken off when you need to remove them. They look great, they last a long long time. Weaknesses: They get tacky and leave black gunk on your hands when they get dirty. Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: February 1, 2013 Strengths: These grips feel tight, don't budge on me while riding, and offer a good surface to maintain contact with my handlebars. I have ridden on them a couple of times so far and am happy with my purchase so far. Weaknesses: They are a little smaller than the stock grips that came on my Kona however being that I have small hands, this doesn't bother me and I am getting accustomed to their size. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Fountainhead Duration Product Used: 2 weeks Price Paid: $22.00 Purchased At: Jenson USA Bike Setup: Kona Fire Mountain with X-Roc S Pedals, XT rear hub with Mavic EN-321 rear rim, Jagwire cables.

Josh Date Reviewed: December 27, 2012 Strengths: super thin, comfy and soft, tacky rubber. Weaknesses: Ever so slightly too narrow...the rubber lip/lockring is the only small thing that doesn't feel so good, but is barely noticeable. Wears pretty quick, but I'm still running year old grips and feel fine, just a bit hard. Bottom Line:

p2rider426 Date Reviewed: November 5, 2012 Strengths: Great grip, good hardware, look great, very long life. Weaknesses: Sometimes I would get a grip with a small amount of rotational wobble even if the hardware was al snugged up. I would just replace the locking rings with spare ones I had from previous ODI grips that I knew had no wobble. Bottom Line:

from Chicago, IL Date Reviewed: July 24, 2010 Strengths: These things are GREAT! Once installed (very easy), they never ever have slipped and have a great feel. I do have larger hands and feel that they could be a bit chunkier, but I still love them. Best of all, they're made right here in the U.S.A. What's not to love about that? Weaknesses: Absolutely none!

from Cumberland, MD Date Reviewed: February 15, 2010 Strengths: Lock on. Weaknesses: If you get white, like I did and it doesn't stay white, clean it more, or don't buy white. It's a grip it's going to get dirty. Tree branches and trunks can take gouges out of the rubber but it that's not a major problem my non lock ons probably would have lost more.
