Old Dutch International ODI Van Cult 1" Motorcycle Grips (Gum) — cushioned vibration-damping, textured traction

The ODI Van Cult 1" motorcycle grips (GUM) are cushioned, slip-resistant handlebar grips engineered for comfortable control and lasting wear on 1-inch throttle setups. Engineered by ODI and distributed by Old Dutch International, these Van Cult grips blend a classic gum-color rubber with a modern compound designed for vibration dampening and traction. They are targeted at riders who want a balance of comfort and feedback without bulk, and they pair with a required throttle sleeve for proper installation on 1" throttle tubes.

What makes the Van Cult grips comfortable for long rides?

Van Cult grips use a softer rubber compound that absorbs road and engine vibration, reducing hand fatigue on extended rides. The surface pattern balances cushioning and tactile feedback so you still feel the controls without the numbness of overly soft grips.

• Soft gum compound for vibration damping
• Contoured profile to fit natural hand positions
• Textured surface to maintain grip with light pressure

How do these grips perform in wet or dirty conditions?

The grip surface provides traction even when exposed to water, mud, or sweat thanks to its patterned texture and resilient rubber. The material resists hardening and maintains tack over time, helping preserve slip resistance in varied weather and trail conditions.

• Patterned face for channeling moisture and debris
• Gum rubber compound maintains tackiness when wet
• Durable material resists glazing and wear

Will these fit my bike and how do I install them?

These grips are sized for 1" handlebars and require a throttle sleeve for the right-side installation on motorcycles. The left grip slides on directly while the right grip needs the compatible sleeve to secure to the throttle tube; standard grip adhesive or locking collars can be used for extra retention.

• Designed for 1" throttle tubes (standard motorcycle size)
• Throttle sleeve required for the right-side installation
• Compatible with grip glue, locking collars, or zip ties for extra hold

How durable are ODI Van Cult grips and what maintenance do they need?

Constructed from a robust rubber compound, these grips resist abrasion and resist becoming slick over time. Simple cleaning with mild soap and water keeps them performing well; avoid harsh solvents which can degrade the rubber.

• High-abrasion resistance for longer service life
• Easy to clean with mild detergent and water
• Avoid petroleum-based cleaners to preserve the compound

Who is this for: Riders seeking comfortable, tactile grips for daily rides, commuting, or off-road use who prefer the look and feel of gum-colored rubber. These grips suit motorcyclists wanting improved vibration control and traction without changing bar geometry, provided they have a 1" throttle setup and can install the required throttle sleeve.
