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 DMR 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.

INSTALLATION
Please follow these instructions carefully to install your new DMR Deathgrip:
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 Deathgrip 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 DMR 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!
