Product Information
Full details
The Deity Slimfit Grips are designed for mountain bikers who prefer a low-profile, high-feedback interface between their hands and the handlebars. Ideal for riders seeking maximum control and a minimalist aesthetic, these grips feature a slim 30.5mm outer diameter that enhances responsiveness on technical terrain. While the thin diameter provides exceptional tactile connection, it may not offer the same vibration damping as thicker, more cushioned grips for riders who suffer from severe hand fatigue.

FAQs
What is the outer diameter of these grips?
The Deity Slimfit Grips have an outer diameter of 30.5mm.
Do these grips come with end caps?
The Slimfit Grips feature a seamless, integrated end cap design with a debossed 3D Deity icon, eliminating the need for separate plastic end plugs.
Can these be used on carbon handlebars?
Yes, they are compatible with both aluminum and carbon handlebars, provided you do not exceed the recommended torque values.
Are they suitable for riders with large hands?
While preference is subjective, these are specifically designed as a slim grip. Riders with larger hands may find them less comfortable than Deity's thicker grip models.
What tool do I need to install them?
You will need a 3mm hex wrench (Allen key) to tighten the lock-on clamp bolt.
How do I maintain the tackiness of the rubber?
Keep the grips clean by washing them with mild soap and water after muddy rides, and store your bike out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation.
Troubleshooting
Grip feels loose or rotates on the handlebar
Ensure the handlebar surface is clean of all grease or debris, then check that the lock-on clamp bolt is tightened to the recommended torque specification.
Difficulty sliding grip onto the bar
Ensure the internal sleeve is aligned correctly and that there is no burr or damage on the end of your handlebar. Avoid using lubricants like WD-40.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing the Slimfit Grips is straightforward. Ensure your handlebars are clean and free of any debris, grease, or old residue before sliding the grips on. Once positioned to your desired orientation, use a 3mm hex wrench to tighten the single bolt clamp to the manufacturer's torque specifications (typically 3-4 Nm). Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the clamp or the bar surface. To clean, use a soft-bristle brush, warm water, and a mild soap solution to remove dirt from the diamond pattern. Avoid harsh degreasers, which can prematurely break down the rubber compound. Periodically check the lock-on bolt for tightness as part of your regular pre-ride safety inspection.
