Product Information
Full details
The DMR Brendog DeathGrip is a high-performance mountain bike grip engineered for riders seeking a precise, tactile connection to their cockpit, ranging from All Mountain enthusiasts to competitive downhill racers. Co-developed with professional rider Brendan Fairclough, these grips offer an exceptional balance of vibration damping and aggressive traction through a specialized triple-zone surface design. While the thin diameter and soft Kraton rubber compound deliver unparalleled control, riders who prefer a thicker, more padded grip profile may find this model too firm for ultra-long-distance endurance riding.

FAQs
What is the diameter of this thin model?
The thin model provides a lower-profile, direct feel compared to the thick version, ideal for riders who want maximum handlebar feedback.
Do I need bar-end plugs for these grips?
No, these grips feature an integrated, durable closed-end design that provides protection without the need for additional bar-end plugs.
Will these fit carbon handlebars?
Yes, these grips are compatible with standard carbon and alloy mountain bike handlebars of 22.2mm diameter.
Can I replace just the rubber if it wears out?
No, the rubber is permanently molded to the core. Once the rubber is worn down, the entire unit should be replaced.
Which direction should the patterns face?
The mushroom pattern should be placed on the inner side (towards the stem) for maximum comfort, while the waffle section should be positioned to optimize grip based on your typical riding style.
Troubleshooting
Grip is rotating on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and free of grease. Tighten the lock bolt to the recommended torque specification using a 3mm hex key.
Rubber surface feels slippery
Clean the grip surface with a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water to remove hand oils and trail grime, then air dry completely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent all-weather traction due to the Kraton rubber compound
- Single-lock mechanism reduces weight and increases grip area
- Highly ergonomic surface zones cater to different hand positions
- Durable closed-end construction protects handlebar tips
- Minimalist flangeless design allows for better lever ergonomics
Cons
- Thin diameter may not be suitable for riders with larger hands
- The soft rubber compound can wear faster than harder alternatives
- Lack of flange might be a disadvantage for riders accustomed to extra lateral support
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the single-lock design. Simply slide the grip onto your 22.2mm standard mountain bike handlebar, position the surface zones to match your hand angle, and tighten the inner bolt using a 3mm hex key. Ensure the grip is fully seated before tightening to prevent the core from rotating.
Compatibility: These grips are designed for standard mountain bike handlebars. The closed-end design means you do not need to install separate bar-end plugs. To care for your grips, wash them with mild soap and water after rides in dusty or muddy conditions to restore the tackiness of the Kraton rubber. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers, as these can degrade the rubber compound over time.
