DMR Grip Deathgrip2 – DG2 MTB Death Grips II

Description

DMR – DeathGrip2

The original. Just better. We took everything we learned from making and riding the original Deathgrip and created the Deathgrip2. Having spent years refining grip design with Brendan Fairclough, Olly Wilkins and the DMR Team, along with riders from around the world at all levels, we knew we were on to a winning formula. We kept the features that riders know and love, and added some fundamental improvements along the way.

The DMR Deathgrip2 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.

We took these winning features of the Deathgrip, and then added:

An exposed core end for added durability for when the going gets rough.

A new injection-moulded DMR end cap for added branding and colour coordination.

The DMR collar lockring is now slimmer, more refined, and more integrated with the grip outer.

Millimetre-perfect positioning of mushroom, waffle, and knurl for the ultimate grip pattern.

Flanged option: The flanges are now slimmer with a new relief design and fresh DMR logo.

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!
