Product Information
Full details
The DMR Brendog DeathGrip is designed for mountain bikers across all disciplines, from All Mountain to professional Downhill racing, who prioritize grip and hand control in varied terrain. Created in collaboration with Brendan Fairclough, these grips feature a versatile multi-pattern surface that enhances handling and comfort while minimizing fatigue. While they offer exceptional control in all weather conditions, users should note that the thin 29.8mm diameter is specifically tailored for riders who prefer a more tactile, direct connection to their handlebars compared to thicker alternatives.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent all-weather traction due to the soft Kraton compound
- Comprehensive multi-pattern surface targets specific hand zones for comfort and control
- Secure single-lock mechanism eliminates grip movement
- Lightweight construction at approximately 117g per pair
- Durable design with closed-end protection for frequent riding
Cons
- Thin 29.8mm diameter may feel too small for riders with larger hands
- The super-soft compound can wear faster than harder-rubber grips
- Fixed flange design may interfere with some shifter or dropper post lever setups
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the DMR DeathGrip requires a 3mm Allen key to secure the locking collar.
- Slide the grips onto the handlebar until they reach your preferred position.
- Ensure the grip is fully seated on the bar.
- Tighten the single-lock bolt to the manufacturer's recommended torque setting (typically 2-3 Nm); do not overtighten as this can damage the core.
For care, the grips can be cleaned using water and a soft-bristled brush. Because they use a soft Kraton compound, avoid harsh chemical degreasers, as these can accelerate material breakdown. If the grips become saturated with mud, allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the rubber.
