The KNUCKLEDUSTER grips are the preferred choice of World Cup-style rider and gloveless wonder, Sam Blenkinsop. They showcase Deity's commitment to detail and functionality! Taking risks and thinking outside the box is where DEITY excels, and these grips are a perfect example. Deity developed a unique TRC rubber blend that offers remarkable grip and outstanding durability. The KNUCKLEDUSTER also features a tapered internal sleeve that you simply tap onto your handlebar for full engagement. Once fully tapped in, this sleeve feels securely locked in place, and combined with a single-bolt lock-on clamp, you won’t experience any play. The body of this MTB grip integrates the best elements of half-waffle design, mushroom ribbing, and an ergonomic feel, all presented in a stunning package. The mushroom pattern helps to minimize vibration, but the real innovation lies in the V-channel chevron ribs that comfortably fill the swell of your palm before transitioning to a recessed half-waffle pattern on the underside. This design is crucial because traditional half-waffle patterns are typically positioned outward, often leading to hot spots during long rides. By creating a seamless transition to a recessed half-waffle pattern, the KNUCKLEDUSTER allows your fingers to sit perfectly in the grip, providing maximum control even in the roughest conditions, without the discomfort of hot spots or blisters.
