LET THEM REIGN, OVER YOUR TERRAIN
Forged through years of descending, Monarch grips deliver the ultimate in precision and comfort.
Trail Comfort Mushroom Texture
Inspired by BMX grips, the mushroom texture features flexible fins that compress into adjacent gaps, offering superior comfort and shock absorption compared to knurl textures. Ideal for trail cruisers and riders tackling rough rock gardens or flat landings, this texture ensures a compliant, impact-damping grip for maximum comfort.
Thin vs. Thick Grips
Riders’ hands vary, so grip size is key. Our thin grips measure 30-32mm, while thick grips measure 32-34mm, offering extra damping for larger hands. Grip choice depends on riding style, trail conditions, hand size, and whether you wear gloves. Larger hands (XL glove size and up) typically prefer thicker grips, though aggressive riders may favor thinner options for enhanced bar feel. Likewise, smaller hands may opt for thick grips for added comfort on long rides.
Tapered Diameter for Natural Grip
The grips’ diameter increases from the inside to the outside, creating a natural angle that reduces palm pressure. This design allows thinner rubber on the inside for bar feel and thicker rubber on the outside for impact cushioning. Paired with the offset core, this design maximizes comfort while maintaining control.
Comfort Thumb Pad
Your thumb bears significant pressure while riding, often causing discomfort or blisters. Our extended thumb pad reduces friction and provides added cushioning, especially at the metacarpal knuckle. Carefully positioned, it suits all hand sizes and riding styles, whether you grip close to the inside or outside of the grip.
Zigzag Texture for Stability
Straight mushroom fins can collapse under pressure, leading to discomfort and reduced stability. Our zigzag pattern adds structural support, eliminating distracting "clicking" sensations and ensuring optimal cushioning. This thoughtful design enhances thumb comfort and durability.
Offset Core Design
The grip’s core is offset downwards, creating thicker rubber on top for comfort and thinner rubber underneath for control. Finger bars on the underside further enhance grip, balancing cushioning with bar feel.
