Product Information
Full details
The Deity Lockjaw Grips are engineered for mountain bikers and gravity riders who prioritize grip, control, and vibration damping. Featuring an advanced TRC+ Kevlar-infused rubber compound, these grips offer an exceptional balance of tackiness and long-term durability. While they provide excellent comfort through a specialized diamond pattern, riders with particularly small hands may find the 32mm diameter slightly bulkier than ultra-thin alternatives.

FAQs
What is the diameter of these grips?
The Deity Lockjaw Grips have an outside diameter of 32mm.
Are these grips compatible with carbon handlebars?
Yes, they are compatible with standard 22.2mm handlebars, including carbon fiber models. Always use a torque wrench to ensure you do not exceed the handlebar manufacturer's limit.
How long are these grips?
The Lockjaw Grips have a total length of 132mm.
Can I replace the clamps if they get damaged?
The clamps are integral to the grip design; for best performance and safety, replace the entire grip unit if the clamp mechanism fails.
What does the Kevlar-infused compound do?
The Kevlar infusion reinforces the rubber, allowing it to maintain a soft, tacky feel while significantly extending the lifespan of the grip compared to standard rubber compounds.
Troubleshooting
Grip rotation or slipping on the bar
Verify that the handlebar surface is clean and free of grease or oil. Ensure the clamp bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification.
Difficulty sliding onto the handlebar
The tapered inner sleeve is designed for a snug fit. Ensure there are no burrs on your handlebar ends. A very light mist of rubbing alcohol can act as a temporary lubricant that evaporates quickly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-tack rubber compound provides excellent security in wet or dry conditions
- Kevlar-infusion significantly increases the longevity of the grip
- Ergonomic pattern effectively balances vibration damping with direct control
- Single-clamp design is easy to adjust and minimizes bar clutter
- LaunchPad feature prevents friction-related irritation during long rides
Cons
- 32mm diameter may feel thick for riders who prefer minimalist grips
- Requires specific tool access for the forward-facing bolt orientation
- Single clamp design may not offer as much security as dual-clamp options under extreme torsion
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the grips onto your 22.2mm handlebars until they are fully seated against the inner sleeve. Use a 3mm hex wrench to tighten the forward-facing bolt to the manufacturer's torque specifications; do not overtighten, as this may strip the clamp. Because the grips use a single clamp, ensure they are oriented with the waffle section facing downward for maximum control. To maintain the rubber compound, clean periodically with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh degreasers that can dry out the rubber. If the grips lose their tackiness over time due to dust buildup, a light wash will restore the initial stickiness of the TRC+ material.
