Either Fit Bike Co. stumbled across a box of old Eddie Cleveland grips that got tucked away, or they felt a little nostalgic and decided to bringing back a classic. Either way, Fit have a limited edition re-issue of Eddie Cleveland’s signature Eddie grip available now. These grips are made right here in the U.S.A by ODI with a super soft rubber compound. The grips are 135mm long and have a thinner 28mm diameter that we don’t see on too many BMX grips these days. The grips feature a knurling style grip pattern with the Fit Key Logo and come with nylon plug style bar ends.
The Eddie grips are available in black only for $9.99 each. You will want to hit up the Fit Bike Co. webstore to pick up a pair before they’re gone. Since Fit decided to do a re-issue, we’ve re-upped a few videos to remind you how much ass Eddie used to kick on a bike.
The crew at Tempered Goods have been making some moves down in Australia with the new products. Here’s a look at their brand new Zephyr Grips that are hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Tempered worldwide now. These grips come with a very unique and detailed pattern that’s bound to keep your hands from moving and have 4 different color options to choose from. Black, blue, purple and a cotton candy style mix of blue and purple! We weren’t able to find details on length and diameter or price, but we’ll update this when we come across those numbers!
Next stop at Frostbike 2017… ODI Grips!
After checking out the Odyssey Frostbike 2017 booth, we moved on over to the ODI Grips booth where we got a look at two of their new items that will be available soon. First up, a Sneak Peek look at the new Mike “Hucker” Clark signature grip that is in the works. This grip is unique because it uses two durometers of rubber, allowing to mix and match colors. For example, here’s a look at the black with neon green. The outside features a rad design with waves, a Palm tree and “Hucker” made from a softer rubber material that is nice on the hands. Under that, the green layer, is a harder rubber that helps keep the grip locked down to the bars better, reducing slipping and twisting.
Here’s a look at the inside of the grip giving you a look at the harder durometer rubber.
“Hucker” carved into the grip with a palm tree logo. It’s pretty rad what you can do with this dual layer style grip.
Here’s a better look at the waves and sun on the outside of the grip.
We couldn’t give you a look at another prototype sample color that uses some different colors and mixes the bar ends we’re going to show you below, but we know there will be a certain type of rider that will be really stoked on it. But you will have to wait to see that one… Until then…
…. Here we have a look at the new Hybrid bar end that ODI will be releasing in the near future as well. These bar ends also have an aluminum cap that helps to prevent the cap head from breaking off. These are similar to the BSD grips that also use a similar design. You can find rounded edges and then on the bottom there’s a ridge that lets your bars slide in, so the aluminum cap overlaps the bars a bit to help protect the plastic plug better. These will be available in a number of colors. One again, we couldn’t show you the color that will be available with another combo of the grips above, but you’re free to let us know if you have any guesses below…
That wrapped up the new items at the ODI Grips booth. They had a TON of grips on display for all the different aspects of bicycles from BMX to MTB and more, but we’ve all seen the classic Longnecks, Roughnecks and Cult X Vans grip they make, so we figured it would be better to focus on these two items.
We’ll have more from Frostbike popping up today, so keep checking back!
