ORIGINAL AND BEST

When we launched the DMR Deathgrip all those years ago, even we weren’t ready for the success that followed. Working with Brendan Fairclough and Olly Wilkins, we set out to create the best mountain bike grip on the market, and we definitely delivered. The Deathgrip changed the game.

What makes Deathgrips so good?
The DMR Deathgrip features the grip pattern and layout that inspired a whole generation of mountain bike grips – it starts with a soft mushroom section for comfort in the thumb and forefinger area, preventing blisters in a soft-tissue zone. Next, the grip pattern features diamond knurl for grip in all conditions and all terrains – and the waffle layout underside holds your fingers in the perfect position for grip and control. A tapered core means the Deathgrip is firmly mounted onto your handlebars with ease and the use of just one lockring keeps things simple and tight. The krayton rubber grip compounds we use are soft and comfortable, yet durable and lightweight. Select thin or thick diameters, and with or without flanges – the choice is yours.

DMR Deathgrips are designed for optimal grip, comfort and control whether you ride with or without gloves. They’re the perfect choice for every rider – for weekend thrashers, dedicated freeriders, or whether you race Hardlines, World Cups, or ride Rampages. Deathgrips are the grip of choice for everyone – and have put more riders on more podiums than any other grip, we’ve won more group-tests and Editor’s Choices than any other brand.

Once you've ridden Deathgrips, you won't go back. Ride the best, forget the rest.

INSTALLATION

Please follow these instructions carefully to install your new DMR Deathgrips

1. Remove your old grips and bar end plugs.
2. Thoroughly clean and degrease the handlebar.
3. Ensure there is at least 130mm of free bar space for each grip. If necessary, move your controls to create the required space.
4. Fit the new DMR Deathgrips onto the handlebar by pushing them on all the way until they won't go any further. You may need a soft faced mallet or similar to tap them on to fully engage the unique taper-end of the Deathgrip.
5. Make sure the collars are fully located on the grips and tighten the collar bolts to torque (2nm). Do not overtighten the collar bolts, only tighten them enough that the grips will not rotate under force.
6. Confirm that the grips and controls are securely in place. Twist the grips hard to ensure they do not move.
7. NOW GO RIDE!

PRODUCT REVIEW
PRODUCT REVIEW
“The strength of the DMR Deathgrip is not that it was designed with the help of Brendan Fairclough, AKA Brendog (although that must have helped). No, what’s really important is there are multiple grip patterns placed just where you need them.”
— MBR EDITOR'S CHOICE
PRODUCT REVIEW
“There are also two diameters to fit different hand sizes, a rainbow of awesome colours, and an ultra-sticky Race compound for those who like to ride gloveless.”
