Riverside , California based ODI Grips has continued to take inspiration for its V-twin products from the motocross market , and with design input from brand ambassador Carey Hart has unveiled a new V-twinspecific Lock-On grip set . " When I ride any motorcycle , the feel at the handlebars is crucial to me ," says Hart . " Having a background in motocross , I have become accustomed to a grip set-up that is very specific . With the growth in performance V-twin , it only made sense to leverage my background in motocross to develop our new V-twin product ." ODI says that this Moto-inspired Full Waffle design was developed to provide improved comfort by reducing vibration while also offering a grip with exceptional traction and control in severe riding conditions . The ODI genuine Lock-On technology was used to provide the most secure mounting system while also allowing easy installation and removal . " Each set is manufactured with a model-specific inmolded throttle tube . The proven billet aluminum clamp system is made available in anodized colors to match the components on your custom build ." The Moto-inspired grip system uses proprietary medium-compound materials to " provide excellent durability and comfort . The Full Waffle Moto pattern reduces vibration and provides improved grip in all conditions and the heavily knurled base pattern delivers solid traction and control ." The billet aluminum clutch-side clamp is said to ensure 100 % slip-free security ( the need for set screws is eliminated ) and T15 Torx bolts ensure extra secure clamping " for solid , twist-free mounting ." Available grip / clamp colorways include black / black ,
