Peaty’s Monarch Lock On Grip – Mushroom

The Peaty’s Monarch Mushroom Grip is here! Now available at Grip & Pedal, Steve Peat’s brand steps into the ring with the new Monarch lock on grips. Available in two thickness and five colours. A new design built for comfort, grip and control.

There are two texture options available, Mushroom and Knurl. This being the Mushroom, offering more trail comfort with a classic cushion design.

The Monarch grip is a descendant of decades of experience of generally hanging on for dear life and an 18 month design development process. Over 1,000 people were surveyed for their grip preferences and pet hates.

Peaty’s even set up their own internal 3D printing and casting workshop to rapidly test and refine the finest details through hundreds of hours of testing. Down to the very last 0.25mm, seriously!

The result is a grip design with an offset and tapered core, specifically tapered grip profile, soft 20A compound, slim 8mm clamp (for max grip area), unique zigzag pressure relief thumb pad, high grip finger bars (cut inwards not outwards, this is important!), two texture options and two thickness options.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Two texture options – Mushroom (Trail Comfort) and Knurl (Race Control).
• Two thickness options – Thin (30-32mm) and Thick (32-34mm).
• Soft 20A compound for the best grip level vs. durability tradeoff.
• Tapered grip body & offset core increases impact dampening on top while improving pop and feel underneath.
• Zigzag thumb pad provides maximum pressure relief for your thumb.
• High grip finger bars are cut inwards for maximum grip and therefore feel to the bar.
• Tapered core, made from 80% recycled ocean plastic, taps onto your bar to prevent grip slip.
• Half flange and pinky ramp give a reassuring reminder where the edges of the bars are.
• 130mm grip area with a slim 8mm locking clamp and 3mm allen key bolt.
• Grips available in Black, Red, Mango, Turquoise, Slate and Gum.
• Interchangeable anodised aluminium lock rings available in 12x different colours (sold separately).

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Remove old grips and thoroughly clean / degrease bars.
2. Slide grips onto bar, ensuring the grips are fitted to the correct side. The ‘L’ and ‘R’ markings on the lock rings indicate Left and Right specifically orientated grips and should be fitted to the left and right as seen by the rider.
3. Orientate correctly so that the crown logo on the end is facing upwards. This will set a good default position for the fingerbars and thumbpad. Roll forwards or backwards slightly to suit your riding position and or preference.
4. Tap the grip fully onto the bar to ensure the bar is driven fully into the tapered core. Generally a firm whack with a palm should be fine, no need for a hammer!
5. Tighten 3mm allen key on the lockring to 3Nm.
6. Ride!”
