ODI X-treme grips

[parrdaddy]

Anybody tried the new ODI grips out yet? They now have X-treme grips which are thin like Ruffians, but softer, and they have a cool diamond plate looking pattern and new end caps that snap in place. I have been using a set @ Universal all summer and they are by far my favorite EVER. These grips feel tacky which is great for hanging on, atleast while using Slippery Switch gloves...which BTW are also the best gloves I've ever used :cool2:

Hanging on has never been easier :starwars:

Just my review, it may or may not be worth $0.02!

Are they really as thin as Ruffians? When they first released them, I asked the guys at Blowsion and they said size-wise they were in between Ruffians and Rogues.

I am more of a fan of the Rogue's, than the Ruffians. I'll probably pick up a set of X-tremes soon, as my son has pretty much worn the Ruffians off the Blaster.

Thanks for the review!

they feel great and are real tacky....i use answer MX gloves when riding.... also reduced arm fatigue too

Mine are on order, glad you posted this. I tried to steal Toby's that are still in the package (he won them @ Altoona) but he busted me multiple times GRRRRR. So ordered mine this w/e WOOT.

I have them and like them. I always used ruffians because they were similar to renthals but I have to say I like the x-tremes better. The end cap design is sano.

I'm using the Xtremes. They are tacky. Sadly my ski sits uncovered all week, I don't wear gloves because its hot and I'm only riding for an hour at a time.

The grips leave a residue on my hands, and I can pick off rubber all day long from the grip.

I think they are sundamaged, still like the feel and tackyness though, with gloves it would rock.

i thought they were med thickness

more than ruffian, less than rougue







rocketman must be huffing shuttle fumes again :biggrin:

i just got a set from kevin @ legdrag.com love them but they are too thin for me, i got big hands and they make my hands cramp because of the smaller diameter. hoping i'll get used to them.. other than that they're great!

i liked the pair i had on an old ski. a little too big/squishy for my hands. ruffians fit me better, but otherwise the x-tremes are very nice.

I have small hands and love the rouges, hate the ruffians. I don't think I would like any thing thinner than the rouges... Do they over the X-treme grips in black, or only gray?

I just got some rogue from blowsion and they had those new caps. I wish I would have known, and I wouldn't have ordered thug plugs, these caps don't look like they will come out. Not to mention blowsion gave me one stainless screw on the plugs and one black screw, and they look used (scratched up). I need to call and complain because they haven't bothered to email me back.

 

[spence]

i thought blowsion was good about that stuff or do they g=have poor customer service?

 

[hermanns]

It was just a mistake on their part, but I called them up and they were very helpful, and did email me back, just took a couple days, but it didn't help that it ended up in my spam folder. I'm just going to return the plugs, these new caps the grips come with look great. I don't think they will be going anywhere like the old ones.
