The dual tread design is reminiscent of the DMR Deathgrip and works similarly well. The raised hard-ish end of the grip is a bit uncomfortable for riders who hang off the ends of their handlebars, however. On the Trail/Feel: The grip is outstanding in the wet and dry, with or without gloves. My hands stay very comfortable all day and I no longer experience hot spots under my middle and ring finger. I really appreciate the single clamp since I tend to run my hands at the very edge of the bar. In the parking lot the texture near the flange felt weird but 10 ft down the trail and I don't notice it. I don't notice the grips at all for that matter which I suppose is the mark of a good grip.Brendan Fairclough – “My goal for DEATHGRIP is for people to watch the movie and only be able to watch the first 10 minutes before they have to turn it off, jump on their bike and go rip a turn.”

There’s very little cushioning and we’ve noticed a lot more harshness on rough trails compared to the Burgtec Bartender grip that was on my bike previously. The open end of the grip allows me to store this Stealth Tubeless Puncture Plug tool from Muc-Off and a few zip ties in the bar end. Tested by Gerow. Fabric Magic MTB Grips This grip is all about the rubber. Everything else about the grip is pretty mediocre to be honest. Two-collar design is outdated and rightly disliked by riders who ride with their hands slightly overhanging the ends of the handlebar. The grip has a slight ergonomic shape reminiscent of the Ergon GE1, but I’ve fitted it both ways and not noticed any difference. Unlike the company’s Half Nelson and Love Handle grips, the Getta Grip also has a closed end, so you’re not going to plug bar with dirt in a crash, and it also conforms to most race rules. Get the full skinny below on how Brendan Fairclough’s and Clay Porter’s epic Deathgrip movie was planned and executed. It really is an impressive piece of work.

After using my initial pair in the super wet Pisgah 111k last year I have added these to my other bikes as well. They are all-day comfortable and still provide grip to torque the handlebar. The inner mushroom section does a great job of floating the section of grip you pinch with your thumb and the firmer lateral half of the grip doesn't wallow or squish under pressure. Grip in the wet both with without gloves remains excellent. I have added these to my lightweight single speed as well, where the combination of grip and comfort is welcome. With the soft compound they do wear faster than some of the other options out there, but the price is very reasonable. Over two years in the making DEATHGRIP can now be experienced through the world’s leading movie and TV streaming service, Netflix.
