The original. Just better. We took everything we learned from making and riding the original Deathgrip and created the Deathgrip2. Having spent years refining grip design with Brendan Fairclough, Olly Wilkins and the DMR Team, along with riders from around the world at all levels, we knew we were on to a winning formula. We kept the features that riders know and love, and added some fundamental improvements along the way.
The DMR Deathgrip2 features the grip pattern and layout that inspired a whole generation of mountain bike grips – it starts with a soft mushroom section for comfort in the thumb and forefinger area, preventing blisters in a soft-tissue zone. Next, the grip pattern features diamond knurl for grip in all conditions and all terrains – and the waffle layout underside holds your fingers in the perfect position for grip and control. A tapered core means the Deathgrip is firmly mounted onto your handlebars with ease and the use of just one lockring keeps things simple and tight. The krayton rubber grip compounds we use are soft and comfortable, yet durable and lightweight. Select thin or thick diameters, and with or without flanges – the choice is yours.
We took these winning features of the Deathgrip, and then added:
An exposed core end for added durability for when the going gets rough.
A new injection-moulded DMR end cap for added branding and colour coordination.
The DMR collar lockring is now slimmer, more refined, and more integrated with the grip outer.
The flanges are now slimmer with a new relief design and fresh DMR logo.
Millimetre-perfect positioning of mushroom, waffle, and knurl for the ultimate grip pattern.
TAPERED CORE – No need for outer lockring, with a secure hold.
WAFFLE – For comfortable finger placement and confident grip.
KNURL – For all over grip in all conditions.
MUSHROOM – For comfort in thumb and forefinger area.
TWO THICKNESS OPTIONS – Choose either 31.3mm or 29.8mm.
FLANGE OR FLANGELESS – For your preferred grip setup.
COMPOUND – Choose Soft 20A for all-terrain riding, Gum in 25A, or super-soft Race compound in 15A durometer.
LIGHTWEIGHT – Just 100g per pair
Replacement collars for Deathgrip 1 are not compatible with DeathGrip2.

Bought the Orbea Mega from Wheelie and the service was exceptional. Bike arrived perfectly built and ready to ride. The team really know their stuff.
Couldn't fault the experience. Great price, fast delivery, and the bike was impeccably set up. Would 100% buy from Wheelie again.
Really helpful team who helped me choose the right size. Came in for a test ride and bought the same day. The workshop setup is top notch.
