At On Yer Bike<\/em>, we go through a lot<\/em> of grips – testing, swapping, and pushing them to their limits. So, we thought it\u2019d be helpful to share a brief overview and buyer\u2019s guide of the grips we think truly stand out and are worth a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we\u2019ve listed our top three grips. Each one brings something unique to the table, but much like saddles, grips are a deeply personal choice. What works perfectly for us might not feel quite right for you, and vice versa. With that in mind, here\u2019s a quick guide to help you make an informed decision and find the grip that\u2019s best for your riding style and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/p>

Deathgrip: A Versatile All-Rounder<\/strong>
The Deathgrip has long been a crowd favorite and a top seller, thanks to its versatile design in collaboration with the legendary Brendog himself. Available in two compounds, soft and hard – and two thicknesses, thin and thick – there\u2019s a version to suit just about every rider\u2019s preference.
With a huge range of colour options, from classic black to bold pink marble, you can easily match your style. For our test, we went with the soft, thin version.

Performance & Durability<\/strong>
While the softer compound delivers excellent comfort and grip, it does come at a cost. Noticeable wear after just a couple of months. This is pretty standard for softer grips, especially if you ride with gloves. I also experienced a slight tingling sensation in my hands after longer descents, which could be a concern for riders who prioritize all-day comfort. That said, the grip was more than adequate in all conditions, and I never felt like I needed more control.

Value for Money<\/strong>
At \u00a321 (at the time of writing), the Deathgrip offers great value for a premium-quality grip with loads of customization options.
Pros & Cons<\/strong>

Pros:<\/strong>
Affordable price point
Wide variety of colors
Reliable grip in all weather conditions

Cons:<\/strong>
Soft compound wears out quickly
May cause hand discomfort on extended rides

Verdict<\/strong>
The Deathgrip is a solid choice for riders looking for a high-performing grip at a reasonable price. Just keep in mind the trade-off between comfort and durability if you opt for the softer compound.
