Monarch Mountain Bike Grips – Precision, Comfort, and Control for Every Rider
Conquer your terrain with Monarch Mountain Bike Grips, forged through years of downhill and trail riding experience. These grips combine trail comfort and precision control, making them the ultimate choice for riders seeking comfort, durability, and grip performance across all terrains.
Trail Comfort Mushroom Texture
The unique mushroom texture on Monarch grips is inspired by the classic fins of a mushroom, widely used on BMX grips for decades. This design is highly effective at absorbing shocks and impacts. Each mushroom fin is evenly spaced, allowing it to compress and flex, providing superior comfort and shock absorption over traditional knurled textures. Whether you're a trail cruiser looking for comfort or an aggressive rider navigating rock gardens and rough landings, Monarch grips have you covered.
Thin vs. Thick Grip Options for a Perfect Fit
Monarch grips come in two sizes - Thin (30mm inner, 32mm outer) and Thick (32mm inner, 34mm outer) - to accommodate a variety of hand sizes and riding styles. Thick grips offer an extra 2mm of impact-damping rubber, making them ideal for riders with larger hands or those seeking extra comfort on long rides. For those who prioritise bar feel and precise control, Thin grips are the perfect choice. Choosing the right grip size depends on your hand size, riding style, and trail conditions, allowing for a more personalised grip experience.
Tapered Grip Design for Enhanced Comfort
Monarch grips feature a tapered design that increases in diameter from the inside to the outside. This taper improves ergonomics by supporting the palm and reducing pressure on the hands, particularly during long rides. The thinner inner section offers better bar feel, while the thicker outer section provides more impact cushioning. Combined with the offset core, the tapered design enhances comfort and control, reducing hand fatigue over tough terrain.
Zig-Zag Comfort Thumb Pad for Extra Protection
The comfort thumb pad is uniquely designed to provide support and cushioning to the thumb, which bears the brunt of shocks and impacts during rides. The pad extends beyond the grip diameter to reduce friction and prevent blisters, especially on the metacarpal bone. A zig-zag texture on the thumb pad adds stability and support, preventing the clicking feeling often caused by cornering forces and increasing comfort on longer rides. The finely tuned shape caters to a wide range of hand sizes and riding positions.
Offset Core for Maximum Grip and Comfort
Monarch grips feature an offset core, shifting the grip's rubber downward to create thicker material on the top of the grip for improved comfort and cushioning. This innovative design, combined with the finger bars on the underside, ensures a perfect balance of grip and comfort for a secure hold on your handlebars.
