ODI Longneck ST Grips

A full flange is the circular guard at the inner end of the grip. It provides a barrier that helps keep your hand from slipping off the bar and offers a bit of extra protection against impacts while performing tricks or riding aggressively.

While the Longneck ST is a classic choice for BMX and freestyle riding due to its durability and grip pattern, they can be used on any bike with standard handlebars. However, keep in mind they lack the locking mechanism found on many modern mountain bike grips, so they are best suited for disciplines where you prefer a traditional push-on feel.

Since these are push-on grips, they require a tight fit. Using a small amount of compressed air or a light application of rubbing alcohol inside the grip can help slide them onto the bar; the alcohol will evaporate quickly, leaving the grip securely in place.

The TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) used by ODI strikes a balance between durability and comfort. It is firm enough to withstand heavy wear and tear from daily riding but soft enough to provide excellent vibration dampening and a secure, tacky feel.

Yes, you can trim them. Because they feature a single-ply construction, you can carefully cut the end of the grip with a sharp utility knife or box cutter to match your preferred length without compromising the integrity of the material.
