Introducing the Peaty's Monarch Grip, a culmination of decades of experience and an intensive 18-month development process. Peaty's engaged over 1,000 riders to gather insights on grip preferences and annoyances, conducted numerous tests, and set up an in-house 3D printing and casting workshop to perfect every detail. The result is a grip that excels in comfort, control, and durability.
Peaty's Monarch Grip Features
Trail Comfort Mushroom Texture
Inspired by BMX grips, the mushroom texture features evenly spaced fins that flex to absorb shocks, offering a comfortable and compliant grip. Ideal for trail cruisers seeking maximum comfort or aggressive riders tackling rough terrains.
Race Control Knurl Texture
A firm, classic grip texture used on tool handles for over a century, knurl texture provides a consistent and aggressive grip. The diamond-shaped knurls ensure precise control and positive feedback, making it a favourite among racers.
Two Thickness Options
Available in thin (30mm inside, 32mm outside) and thick (32mm inside, 34mm outside) diameters to cater to different hand sizes and preferences. Larger grips offer more impact dampening, while thinner grips provide better bar feel and control.
Tapered Diameter
The tapered design increases from the inside to the outside, supporting the palm and reducing pressure on long rides. This design also enhances impact cushioning and bar feel, working in tandem with the offset core for maximum comfort.
Comfort Thumb Pad
Extending further out from the grip, the comfort thumb pad cushions the thumb and reduces the risk of blisters. Its optimized shape provides support for various hand sizes and riding positions, especially during intense cornering.
High Grip Finger Bars
Cut into the grip's diameter, these bars offer maximum grip and minimal distraction. Each bar floats independently, providing a positive feel and grip even during aggressive manoeuvres. The inward cut bars reduce rubber depth on the underside for better bar feedback.
Tapered Core
Custom-made to accommodate a slimmer 8mm clamp, maximizing the grippable area and minimizing overall grip width. The tapered core bites onto the bar end, preventing grip slip without the need for excessive force during installation.
Offset Core
Offset vertically downwards, the core creates thicker rubber on the top of the grip for comfort and thinner rubber on the underside for control. Combined with the tapered body and finger bars, it ensures the perfect balance of comfort and grip.
20A Compound
The Monarch Grip features a 20A compound, striking a balance between softness for grip and durability. It offers a comfortable ride without compromising longevity, providing an ideal middle ground for various riding conditions.
Half Flange and Pinky Ramp
The half flange acts as an internal bump stop and covers the clamp bolt, while the pinky ramp offers subtle feedback to keep hands planted during rough rides. It enhances grip security and comfort, particularly useful in wet conditions or during long races.
