Best BMX Grips: Primo Cali vs ODI Longneck vs Vans

Grips are the cheapest upgrade you will feel every ride

Your body touches the bike in three places: the pedals, the seat and the grips. Grips are among the cheapest parts to swap and change how the whole bike feels. Here are four of our best selling grips and who each one suits.

Four grips compared

Grip Feel Starting price Best for
Primo Cali Grips Soft freestyle grip, signature of Michael Harkous $4.95 Riders who want cushion on a budget
ODI Longneck Softies Soft grip with a long neck $13.95 Riders who like a classic soft feel
Vans BMX Grips Waffle pattern for grip $11.95 Big BMX, wheelie bikes and freestyle
Volume VLM Grips thin wavy rib pattern $13.95 Riders wanting thin grippy grips

How to choose

  1. Soft or firm? Soft grips absorb shock. Firmer grips give more control for some riders.
  2. Check the color. Primo Cali comes in black, dark blue, tan, teal and more.
  3. Install them right. Grips that slip are almost always installed wrong. Watch our short video before you start.
  4. Replace on a schedule. Torn or slick grips are a sign it is time.
