The ODI Reflex is a medium to large profile lock-on grip built to cut the impact and vibration reaching your hands. It suits riders who want a fuller grip without the vague feel that usually comes with a thick, soft one.

ODI's answer to that trade-off is shaping rather than padding alone. Soft flexible ribs sit at the thumb to damp impacts, the top section is padded for shock absorption, and an angled waffle pattern with an oversized top rib indexes with where your fingers naturally bend. The result is an oblong profile that fills the dead space in your hand, so you can relax your grip instead of squeezing, which is what causes arm pump in the first place.
