Description

The Monarch Grip is a descendant of decades of hanging onto handlebars like our lives depended on it. Because sometimes they really did. We've tested countless different compound and grip pattern combinations tweaking and testing over and over again in search of a single ultimate grip. And if you know us you’ll know we sweated every detail from performance to sustainability.So grab a brew and nerd out on the design deep dive below that we think makes our Monarch grips the new Kings of Control. KEY PRODUCT FEATURES Two texture options: Knurl or Mushroom Two thickness options: Thin or Thick Soft 20A compound Tapered grip body and offset core Zigzag thumb pad Tapered core is made from 80% recycled ocean plastic Half flange and pinky ramp 130mm grip area with a slim 8mm locking clamp and 3mm Allen key bolt 'Race Control' Knurl Texture This firm classic has been used as a grip texture on tool handles for well over 100 years and for good reason - a knurl provides an excellent consistent and aggressive grip. Each ‘knurl' is a diamond shape creating a sharp point. It's this sharp point which provides the grip yet its shallow profile provides a sturdy base which creates very positive feedback and increased control compared to a mushroom texture. The user of this grip would more likely be a racer and prefer this texture for its increased aggressive feel and precision control. Thin vs Thick People come in all shapes and sizes - and so do their hands - so having a one size fits all approach to grip diameter is almost as crazy as offering a one size fits all glove. Our thin grip has 30mm diameter on the inside and 32mm on the outside and thick grip 32mm on the inside 34mm outside. This not only makes the thick grip an ideal diameter for people with larger hands but also an extra 2mm of impact damping rubber compared to the thin. Your ideal grip size depends on your riding style trail conditions. Hand size and whether you wear gloves or not so it can be as much personal preference as a science when selecting which is right for you. As a general rule people with bigger hands xl glove size upwards should opt for a thicker grip however some aggressive riders even ones with massive hands may prefer a thin grip to achieve better bar feel and precise control. Conversely people with smaller hands who might otherwise be best suited to a thinner grip may prefer the comfort and fatigue reduction of thick grips over ultimate control. Tapered Diameter A tapered grip means that its diameter increases from the inside to the outside of the grip. Our thin grip has 30mm diameter on the inside and 32mm on the outside and the thick grip has 32mm on the inside 34mm outside. This taper helps to create a more natural gripping angle by supporting your palm and reducing pressure on long rides. The taper in the rubber also results in a thinner section of rubber on the inside of the grip for more bar feel and a thicker section of...
