Product Information

Full details

The DMR DeathGrip 2 grips are designed for mountain bikers seeking enhanced control and comfort across all riding disciplines, from casual trail riding to aggressive freeride and racing. Their key benefit lies in the refined grip pattern offering superior hold in varied conditions. A potential caveat is the slightly firmer feel for those accustomed to exceptionally soft grips, though this contributes to durability. This iteration builds on the original's success with refined features like an exposed core end and a slimmer lockring, ensuring a secure, comfortable, and durable handlebar interface.

FAQs

What is the difference between the DeathGrip 2 and the original DeathGrip?

The DeathGrip 2 builds upon the original with an exposed core end for increased durability, a slimmer and more integrated lockring, and refined positioning of the grip patterns for optimal performance.

How do I choose between the thick and thin grip diameters?

The thick grip (31.3mm) is generally preferred by riders with larger hands or those who prefer a more substantial feel. The thin grip (29.8mm) is suitable for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer a slimmer grip profile.

Can I use these grips without gloves?

Yes, the DeathGrip 2 grips are designed for optimal performance and comfort both with and without gloves, thanks to their specific pattern designs.

What are the different rubber compounds for?

The compounds vary in durometer: Race (15A) is the softest for maximum feel and grip, Soft (20A) offers a balance of comfort and durability for all-terrain use, and Gum (25A) is slightly firmer and very durable.

Are the grips available in flanged and flangeless versions?

Yes, the DeathGrip 2 grips are available in both flanged and flangeless options to suit rider preference for hand support and aesthetics.

What is the recommended torque for the lockring bolt?

The single lockring bolt should be torqued to 2Nm. Over-tightening can damage the grip or handlebar, while under-tightening can lead to slippage.

How do I clean my DeathGrip 2 grips?

Clean with mild soap and water, using a soft brush if needed. Rinse and wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Grip is loose or slipping on the handlebar.

Ensure the lockring bolt is tightened to the specified 2Nm torque. Check that the handlebar is clean and free of grease before installation. The tapered core requires a snug fit.

Difficulty sliding the grip onto the handlebar.

Verify that you are using the correct diameter grip for your handlebar. Ensure the handlebar is clean. A small amount of alcohol-based cleaner can act as a temporary lubricant and will evaporate, allowing the grip to secure properly. Do not use grease.

Blisters or discomfort in the thumb/forefinger area.

Ensure you have selected the correct grip thickness (thick or thin) for your hand size. Experiment with rotating the grip slightly to find a more comfortable position. The mushroom section is designed for comfort, so positioning is key.

End cap damage from impact.

The injection-molded end cap is designed for durability, but extreme impacts can cause cosmetic damage. While this does not typically affect grip function, replacement end caps may be available separately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers exceptional grip and control in diverse weather and terrain conditions.
  • Comfortable for long rides due to the ergonomic mushroom and waffle patterns.
  • Durable construction with an exposed core end and robust rubber compounds.
  • Multiple options for thickness, flange, and compound allow for personalized fit and feel.
  • Simple, single-lockring installation system.

Cons

  • The firmer compounds may require a slight break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • Flanged version might not suit riders who prefer a completely unobstructed grip area.
  • While durable, extreme impacts on the exposed core end could potentially cause cosmetic damage.
  • The refined lockring, while sleek, requires precise torque to avoid damaging the grip or handlebar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure handlebars are clean and free of grease.
  2. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, aligning the tapered core.
  3. Position the grip to your preferred riding angle.
  4. Tighten the single lockring bolt to the recommended torque of 2Nm using a 3mm Allen key. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit standard 22.2mm bicycle handlebars.
  • Available in thick (31.3mm) and thin (29.8mm) diameters.
  • Suitable for use with or without gloves.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush if necessary to remove stubborn dirt.
  • Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the rubber compound.
  • Periodically check the lockring bolt for tightness, especially after rough rides.
