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 roughA new injection-moulded DMR end cap for added branding and colour coordinationThe DMR collar lockring is now slimmer, more refined, and more integrated with the grip outerThe flanges are now slimmer with a new relief design and fresh DMR logoMillimetre-perfect positioning of mushroom, waffle, and knurl for the ultimate grip pattern
