Scooter Grips

Most grips use soft Kraton or TPR rubber, which offers cushioning and grip. Foam grips exist but are less durable, while some grips feature lock‑on collars for extra security.

Ribbed grips (like ODI Longnecks) have raised ridges that dampen vibration and provide a cushy feel. Mushroom grips have a continuous, smooth texture with grooves for extra grip. Choosing between them depends on rider preference for tactile feedback and shock absorption.

Many grips come with push‑in bar ends, while some include screw‑in ends for added durability. Bar ends protect the bar from cracking and shield riders from sharp edges.

Clean the bar, spray a small amount of hairspray or rubbing alcohol inside the grip and slide it onto the bar. The liquid acts as a lubricant and quickly evaporates, leaving the grip in place. Some grips have lock‑on collars requiring a hex key to secure.

It depends on riding frequency and grip material. Most rubber grips last several months of regular use. Replace grips when they tear, harden or become slick.

Yes, most grips fit standard (22.2 mm) bar diameters. Oversized bars still taper down at the grip area, allowing standard grips to fit.

Grips come in many colours, from solid shades to marble and swirl patterns. You can coordinate them with your deck or wheels to personalise your scooter.

Grips can add slight weight, but the difference is minimal. Good grips improve comfort and control, making bar spins easier by preventing hand slippage.
