DMR took everything learned from designing and riding the original grip and pushed it further. After years of refining with riders like Brendan Fairclough, Olly Wilkins, and a global crew of pros and trail riders alike, they knew they had something special. They kept the features riders already loved—and added meaningful upgrades that make all the difference.

DMR took these winning features of the Deathgrip and improved on it. This next-gen grip carries forward the pattern that helped shape a whole generation of mountain bike controls. It starts with a soft mushroom zone around the thumb and forefinger for comfort and blister prevention in high-pressure areas. A diamond knurl texture provides consistent traction in all conditions, while the waffle underside keeps your fingers locked in exactly where they need to be for control and response.

The tapered core mounts securely with a single lockring for a clean, simple setup. The custom rubber compound strikes a perfect balance: soft enough for comfort, tough enough to last, and light enough to stay out of the way. Choose between thin or thick profiles, flanged or flange-free—dial it in your way.

• 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
• The flanges are now slimmer with a new relief design and fresh DMR logo
• Millimetre-perfect positioning of mushroom, waffle, and knurl for the ultimate grip pattern
